"Let us carve him as a dish fit for the gods". Brutus had a huge amount of respect for Caesar and was not a cruel man. He was not interested in going beyond causing Caesar's death, which he believed was necessary for the political health of the Roman Republic. Unfortunately he did not understand realpolitik as Cassius and Antony did.
