In William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus dies by suicide. After the defeat of his forces at the Battle of Philippi, Brutus realizes that capture is imminent and he does not want to be taken prisoner. To avoid the humiliation of being paraded as a captive, he asks his servant, Strato, to hold his sword while he runs onto it, effectively taking his own life. This act is a reflection of his honor and his principled stance throughout the play.
