According to Shakespeare, Brutus was tricked by his friends into thinking that killing Caesar would free the empire from his tyranny. Although Brutus loved Caesar, he put the good of the empire over the life of his friend.

The Senates believed that Caesar possessed too much power. More specifically, Brutus does explain that "I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more (3.2.21-22)." He believed that Caesar was slowly becoming dictator and he felt responsibility to rid of Caesar as his role to the people.
