The Story Behind the Shape

Brutus's journey begins with internal conflict, watching Caesar's triumphal parade before being swayed by forged letters to join a perilous assassination plot (↓). Believing he is saving Rome, he escorts his friend to the Senate, strikes the fatal blow, and eloquently defends his actions to secure a brief political victory (↑). However, Antony's masterful funeral oration quickly turns the crowd into an enraged mob, driving Brutus into a devastating exile where he suffers the loss of Cassius and ultimately falls upon his own sword while Strato holds the blade (↓↓↓).
