Explanation:

Though the title of William Shakespeare's play is "Julius Caesar", the main story does not revolve around the character of Caesar. It revolves more around Brutus, who is the friend of Caesar.

The play deals with the conflicts and inner thoughts of Brutus, his loyalty to the king and the nation. Though he loves Caesar, he also thinks that the new power of being a ruler will make Caesar more vain and may end in him misusing his power. This could lead to a bad future for the nation, which he loves and had sworn to save from any problems. So, in his decision to uphold the future safety of the nation of Rome, he helps in the murdering of Caesar. He is both the protagonist and antagonist for he kills Caesar who he thinks will become a tyrannical leader. But he also did this not out of personal jealousy but rather for the safety of Rome. But in doing so, he brings about the death of it's leader.
