Thesis: Although Brutus is a honorable man his naivety blinds him away
from the whole picture and clouds his judgement.(Group Thesis)
CD: Our purpose necessary and not envious, which so appearing to the
common eyes, We shall be called purgers, not murderers. And for Mark
Antony, think not of him, For he can do no more than Caesar's arm When
Caesar's head is off.(RK)
CM:Brutus wants to keep his honor at all costs. His main goal is to
keep the people from knowing that he killed Caesar for the wrong
reason. If the people find out that he did, then there would be an
instant revolt against Brutus and his followers.(RK)
CD:
ANTONY
That’s all I seek.
And am moreover suitor that I may
Produce his body to the marketplace,
And in the pulpit, as becomes a friend,
Speak in the order of his funeral.(CM)
BRUTUS
You shall, Mark Antony.
CM: Due to his overpowering feeling of honor and pride, Brutus feels
that he needs to give Antony the right to speak at Caesars funeral.
His naivety blinds him from the fact that Antony could possibly turn
the crowd in his favor and compromise their plan . (CM)
CD: BRUTUS: Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any,
speak; for him I have offendedî (act III, sc ii, ln 29-32).(CC)
CM:
This in Brutus proves he is noble as he cares and protects the welfare
of the people of Rome as a whole. He is torn between his sense of duty
with Rome and his friendship with Caesar. In the end; however, he must
rationalize his actions to save face and conform to both sides of his
conflict.(CC)
CD:"Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this: Brutus had rather be a
villager than to repute himself a son of Rome under these hard
conditions as this time is like to lay upon us. (act 1 scene 2 verses
173-176). (ZH)
CM: This shows how Brutus believes Cassius in how he is persuading him
that Caesar is weak leader to lead his people. So Brutus thinks it is
a noble cause instead of selfish or something of insanity. (ZH)
CD: If it aught toward the general good. Set honor in one eye and
death i' th' other. (ND)
CM: Brutus wants all of Rome to like him. He wants his reputation to
be an honorable man. He is willing to give up his life for the good of
Rome. (ND)

Try to avoid cliches such as "whole picture" and use more detailed
wording and some explanations to make your thesis valuable

My only question on the thesis is what is "the whole picture" but
other than that good information. Commentary could use some work.
