Question

How does this line, which defends Brutus’ actions, relate to the rest of the play? Brutus’ dislike for Caesar, combined with Caesar’s quest for power, serves as the rationale for Caesar’s assassination, a point Brutus articulates in Act 2. Although Brutus loved Caesar, he believed that the necessity of Caesar’s death outweighed his personal feelings. Brutus has consistently maintained that his actions were for the greater good of Rome. However, some argue that his motivations were rooted in jealousy, suggesting that he killed Caesar in a bid to assume leadership of Rome.

Brutus’ dislike for Caesar combined with Caesar’s quest for power is the reason for Caesar’s assassination, which Brutus stated in act 2. Soon to the beginning of the play, in the Act I, Scene II, Shakespeare presents the existential dilemma of Marcus Brutus: to kill or not to kill Júlio Caesar. Brutus respected Caesar, had debts of gratitude with him and loved him fraternally. Therefore the decision was not easy. On the other side, he was convinced that Caesar's thirst for power had become too much since he had defeated Pompey's children and his imperial behavior could threaten the Roman Republic. The perspective of the tyranny intensified the republican feeling of Marcus Brutus. When Caius Cassius tries to convince Marcus Brutus of conspiring against Júlio Caesar, still at the beginning of the woof, he reveals his love for the public cause. In the course of the piece, Brutus's dilemma is revealed with strong colors in two different moments. The first one of them takes place when, alone in his home, he takes the crucial decision of killing Caesar, joining the conspirators. Brutus's decision and acting happened before any action of Caesar against the Republic. The second moment in which Brutus tries to justify his gesture in the name of love for the Republic happens in  Caesar's funeral when Brutus tries to expose the reasons that justified the conspiracy.And so the public cause prevails over the private feeling.
