How did Brutus feel about Caesar being crowned king?

I believe that Brutus was a little ticked off in way, because even though Caesar was powerful, he was physically weak, and had many others things gone wrong with him, such as epilepsy for instance. You can see if this is true or not in Act I i believe, if not Act II, but Brutus talks about how he had to get him from the Tiber river, and how Caesar had a seizure, and was shaking on the ground and such, and the foam was coming out of Caesar's mouth and everything, he was screaming for Brutus's help. And Brutus of course went and helped him out.


Why do brutus and Cassius kill themselves?

Brutus asks Strato to kill him so Brutus wouldn't have to die by the enemies sword *<edit> Because the last answer was rather strange I decided to help. Cassius killed himself once he thought his friend (Titinius or something like that) was kidnapped by the enemy. He asked Pindarus (or how ever you spell his name) to kill him. Brutus kills himself later (thanks to the help of Strato) cause he's sure they're are going to lose to Antony. That's how it works in the play Julius Caesar but for all I know the top answer could be true. I rarely look into things deep. 2nd edit brutus kills himself because he feels bad for killing Caesar for no good reason. Cassius kills himself b/c he thought titunius was kidnapped and dead. after all this, Antony, octavius and lepidus are in charge of rome


What does pompey have to do in Julius Caesar's death?

Pompey was important to the plot of Julius Caesar for many reasons. The first is because Pompey was part of that original trio of people that were going to rule together. Then Julius Caesar freaks out and wants to rule by himself so he goes off and decides to kill Pompey. This makes Julius Caesar very big headed. He begins to like himself a bit too much, and does things just to get attention and pretend that he is modest (like refusing the crown three times before finally accepting it.) This leaves Pompey's people in a bit of a predicament. They have to choose between death, and following Julius Caesar's rule. Many of them decide to follow Caesar, and many decide to just die. Cassius and Brutus have a similar relationship. Cassius needs Brutus to be able to go through with his plan. Without Brutus, he wouldn't get away with it because he wouldn't have an insider in on the assassination plans. Even if Cassius went through with the plans to kill Caesar with the help of Brutus, and he was successful; people would look down on this. Brutus has the power to make anything he does wrong look like the politically correct thing to do. If the group gets away with killing Caesar, then they will need someone to make everyone else see their side. That is Brutus. So in the end, Brutus is being used intentionally, and Pompey being murdered was a good thing to Caesar.
