In the end it all basically comes down to one thing: Power. Yes, Caesar may have been arrogant and impatient, but the real reason for his dislike was his power. The senate was always used to the equal power of the Roman Republic among the senators, and when Caesar became Dictator, they did not like it at all.
Caesar was hugely popular with the plebians and common folk, being as he had always sent his plunder in Gaul to be sent back and handed out to the citizens. He was also very popular with his troops, all of which gained tremendous respect for him during the Gallic wars.
Because of all this, the Senate disliked him.
In Julius Caesar's time Rome was bitterly divided between to political factions, the pupulares and the optimates. The former championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms which would help them. The latter represented the interests of the aristocracy and was opposed to these reforms. Caesar was a popularis (singular of populares). He started having bitter enemies among the optimates and the establishment when, as a young man, he was a layer who pursued the prosecution of former provincial governors for corruption and extortion. This broke the tradition of impunity of elite men. Traditionally they were not persecuted or, if so, were let off the hook or got away with just a fine. This made him an object of hatred.
Caesar rose up the political ladder. After his governorship in Hispania, during which he attained military success, he put forward his candidacy for the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Roman republic) and was bitterly opposed. He was with the help of the alliance (the First Triumvirate) he made with Crassus and Pompey, Rome's richest man and its greatest military commander, that he won. Moreover Bilbus, his colleague as consul, who was one of his opponents, tried to stop Caesar's law for the redistribution of land to the poor. Pompey sent soldiers to support Caesar. Bilbus was driven away from the forum (the place for public debates) and, fearful, he retired to his house for the rest of the year. These two facts further increased the bitterness of Caesar's opponents. After his consulship the senate tried to get rid of him by giving him a minor post. However, the First Triumvirate overturned this and gave Caesar the governorship of three provinces (which was unprecedented as no one had been given more than one province before). This was seen as breaking the traditional system. His wars in Gaul were seen as aimed at gaining political prestige and amassing wealth to pay off his debts (Caesar was nor rich and was heavily indebted). With the success in Gaul Caesar become the most powerful military man and a great threat to the senate, which was controlled by his opponents
Caesar incurred the animosity of the senate because toward the end of his life he grew arrogant and insulting to the senate. Roman government was based on tradition and certain public respect. Caesar, once he had supreme power, ignored this and in the eyes of some of the senate became high handed and dictatorial.
There were people that were jealous of Ceasar's power. Gaius Cassius Longinius and Marcus Junius Brutus stabbed him on the Ides of March.
what made Caesar so hated was his passion to be made king. it was this which made the common people hate him for the first time.
Some Romans opposed Julius because they were worried he planned to make himself king of Rome
