Read the excerpt below from act 3.1 of the tragedy of julius caesar and answer the question that follows. brutus: why i, that did love caesar when i struck him, 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 is the reason for caesar’s assassination, which brutus stated in act 2. brutus’ love for caesar could not override the necessity of caesar’s death, which brutus has stated since act 2. brutus loved caesar, but he killed him anyway and for no real reason. brutus was jealous of caesar and killed him in order to take over as leader of rome.

Brutus’ love for Caesar could not override the necessity of Caesar’s death, which Brutus has stated since act 2.

Brutus is the tragic hero in Julius Caesar, and his internal conflict is the force that drives the plot forward. There is a major contradiction within him. He is a good friend, and he loves Caesar. However, he is also a good citizen, and knows that Rome would be better off if Caesar was dead. He ends up killing him, but throughout the play, he cannot be sure whether this was in fact a noble act, or a cowardly one.
