Best Answer

The Brutus in Julius Caesar was Marcus Junius Brutus, a Roman politician and former supporter of Caesar.

His break with Caesar was precipitated by Caesar making himself perpetual dictator and getting himself deified. He joined with Cassius and others in a plot to assassinate Caesar.

On 15mar44 BC they attacked Caesar at the Senate, and the death blow was struck by Brutus.

Caesar's last word were, "Et tu, Brute (And you too, Brutus?)"

Why Is Julius Caesar the title of Julius Caesar?

The most important character in Julius Caesar is not Julius Caesar, but it is Marcus Brutus. The reason why Shakespeare put Julius Cesar as the title is simply because it was more appropriate. It is the killing of Julius Caesar, which supplies the motive for the play. The death of Julius Caesar takes place before the middle of the play, however, his spirit dominates the entire work.
