Brutus fears that Julius Caesar wants to become the King of Rome. Because Rome still has aspects of a republic, Brutus wants to keep it that way.

As a duly appointed dictator Julius Caesar is seen wearing the boots that the old kings of Rome wore, dresses himself in purple and places his own profile on Roman coinage, Brutus became suspicious and scared. Brutus then forms a conspiracy among many members of the Senate to assassinate Caesar.

How did the feelings and actions of Brutus lead to the tragedy of Julius Caesar?

Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.
