영화 <줄리어스 시저(Julius Caesar)> 대사중에서,

Brutus의 변명 연설 원문을 옮겨봄니다. 

(기원전 로-마 광장에서의 부르트스의 연설을 기록한 섹스피어의 상상력이 놀라왔고 Brutus 의 그 당당한 모습이 멋있게 상상이 되어 이 대목만을 자주 읽어 왔었다.):

Brutus 의 변명;

“Be patient till the last. ... Roman, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear. Believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the better judge.

If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then, that friend demand, why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer___ not that I loved Caesar less; but that I loved Rome more.

Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was vailiant,

I honour him: but as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears, for his love; joy, for his fortune; honour, for his valour; and death, for his ambition. Who is here so base, that would be a bondman?

If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who is here so rude, that would not be a Roman? If any, speak, for him have I offended, Who is here so vile, that will not love his country? If any, speak, for him have I offended. I pause for a reply."

<핵심의 멋있는 한마디>

"Hear me for my cause,

This is my answer.

*not that I love Caesar less; but that I loved Rome more."

村評(brief comment);

Brutus가 Caesar 황재를 살해한 것 과

김재규가 박정희 대통령을 살해한 것과

어떤류의 영웅심의 차이가 있을까?
