Friendship is a major theme in the play. In life, if you do good, you will be rewarded. If you are a good friend, you will also be rewarded. Mark Anthony was a faithful friend to Caesar and in the end, he won the battle. If you are a bad friend, you will not be rewarded. Brutus was literally a back-stabber to Caesar. After Brutus was an accomplice in assassinating his friend, he quickly gained power, lost that power, then killed himself.
When discussing this with my classmates, I also thought of a few other good points. You should always be choosy of your friends. Caesar considered his fellow polititians friends and they all conspired against him and killed him. If Caesar would have chosen his friends better, maybe this all would not have happened. You should as well never be too loyal. Lucius, Brutus' servant was too loyal. When Brutus told Lucius to stab him, Lucius did as he was told.
Not only is friendship a major theme in the play, it is also a major one in life.
