Brutus Cassius and the death of Julius Caesar?

Question

why did Brutus Cassius plot to kill Caesar?

Answer 1

Brutus was a friend to Julius Caesar, and even saved his life when he was drowning. He was loyal to Rome first, and his emotions were played upon by various characters in the play, to manipulate him into thinking that the best way to save Rome, and prevent Caesar from being a dictator, was to join with the conspiracy to murder Caesar.

Answer 2

These links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions. Here is a short extract of what you can expect from the summaries.

Brutus believed the action was necessary to prevent Caesar from becoming dictator-for-life, meaning that all power would reside in Caesar and not in the delegates representing the people. In Shakespeare’s play, Brutus’s nobility and idealism gain the audience’s sympathy. But in the ancient Roman world of power politics, characterized by perfidy and pragmatism, it is his virtues that doom him. His downfall and death are the real tragedy of the play, not the death of Caesar.
