"Et tu, Brute?" means, "You too, Brutus?" Brutus was a favourite of Caesar, "Caesar's angel", who was even named as a contingent beneficiary in his will. Caesar has seen all of the other conspirators stab him, but last comes Brutus, who he did not expect to betray his trust and love. As Antony says, "This was the most unkindest cut of all."

Why was Marcus Brutus honorable?

Brutus honestly believed he was doing nothing but what was the best for Rome. He puts Rome above his loyalty to Caesar. "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more" (Act 3, scene 2, 23-24) Brutus is a well loved and worthy Roman. "Oh, he sits high in all the people's hearts" (Act 1, Scene 3, 157).

When he is left alone with the body of Caesar what does Antony call Brutus and others and why?

Mark Antony was not left alone with the body of Caesar. He fled Rome dressed as a slave because he was afraid that the conspirators would also target Caesar's supporters as well. He returned to Rome when he saw that this did not happen. He incited the crowd to turn against the assassins at Caesar's funeral. Julius Caesar's body remained on the floor of the Theatre of Pompey unattended for nearly three hours before officials arrived to remove it. Most of the assassins fled after their deed. Brutus and his friends went to the Capitoline Hill to shout "Rome is free." People's first reaction was to hide in their homes because they were afraid that more trouble was to follow.
