One of the things which belonged to my father that I have, 27 years after his death, is his bound copy of Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caeser and it includes his study notes, written in pen and ink.
His notes include a comment that Brutus, as a stoic found it "cowardly and vile to suicide" yet he found he could not submit to "go bound to Rome". His suicide shows that" honour and the fear of shame were more binding than the philosophical creed he had cultivated."
