Anthony hates Brutus and views him as a traitor throughout the play. His funeral speech which Brutus believed would be vindication coming from a friend, instead praises Caesar and regards Brutus with a contempt that is readily seen by the Roman people.

What was Brutus' idea about killing Mark Antony?

Brutus believed that killing Mark Antony would be unnecessary and potentially counterproductive to their cause. He argued that eliminating Antony could provoke further conflict and chaos, as Antony was not as dangerous as Julius Caesar, whom they had already assassinated. Brutus felt that allowing Antony to live would help maintain their moral high ground and avoid the appearance of tyranny. Ultimately, he prioritized the broader goal of restoring the Republic over personal vendettas.

When Brutus delivers a soliloquy at the end of Act?

In the beginning of the play, Brutus is trusted by Caesar, and they have a filial sort of relationship. But Brutus plays a large role in Caesar's assassination. Caesar's dying words are, "Et tu, Brute?" (you too, Brutus?) because he can hardly believe that someone he loved and was close to would murder him. Brutus reasons, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more." He thinks that killing Caesar was for the greater good, and if you've read the play, you would realize that Brutus's fatal flaw is his nobility. He overthinks everything, always searching for the noble, honorable, "right" thing to do. It was also mentioned that perhaps Brutus was truly Caesar's son, of an affair. At Brutus's funeral oration, Antony says Brutus was "Caesar's angel," although it is never blatantly explained why Caesar trusts and loves Brutus so much, then is betrayed. Although Brutus's honor to Caesar is strong in the beginning, it wavers enough for him to take part in Caesar's murder, but then he sees the effects because of it. By the end of the play, Brutus sees that Rome in the hands of Antony, Octavius, etc is worse than it would have been under Caesar's ruling, and Brutus commits suicide. Note that this question does not have anything to do with the question. The question entails the relationship between BRUTUS and CASSIUS, while this answer is telling the relationship between Brutus and Caeser.

Why would he say Brutus is honorable if he doesn't believe it?

He might say "Brutus is honorable" to highlight the irony of Brutus's actions or to manipulate public perception. By repeatedly stating this, he could be undermining Brutus's reputation while appearing to respect him, thus casting doubt on Brutus's motives. This tactic serves to sway the audience's opinion and emphasize the betrayal felt by the speaker. Ultimately, it reflects the complexity of political rhetoric and the struggle for power.

Why is Brutus against Cicero joining the conspiracy?

Caesar might have thought that Brutus joined the conspiracy because he disliked Caesar himself, though that was not true. Brutus loved and respected Caesar and was a very dear friend to him, so killing Caesar was a very difficult thing for Brutus to do; though Brutus did that for the sake of Rome because he believed that Caesar would have nothing but a bad influence towards the people of Rome. So, Brutus' motivations for joining the conspiracy were to unwillingly murder Caesar but save Rome itself. After all, Brutus turned out to be more loyal to Rome than to Caesar!
