Historically, it is said that Julius Caesar made no sound while his peers murdered him except for a grunt at the first stab. He died silently, and with betrayed dignity. However, in Shakespeare's play, it is said that Julius Caesar says, "Et tu, Brute?" ("And you, Brutus?") right before he falls to the ground dead. Brutus was someone Julius Caesar considered a friend, and this quote channels the emotion that he must have felt in his last moments. However, this is merely Shakespeare's interpretation.
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.
When Julius Caesar saw that his dear friend Marcus Brutus was also heading to kill him(and eventually did), he could not take the pain and exclaimed 'Et tu brute'(Latin)- 'You also Brutus'.
et tu brute means "And thou, Brutus?" or - You too Brutus?/How about you Brutus?
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a play written by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar's three closest friends were Brutus, Antony, and Cassius.
Brutus is afraid that once Caesar has used his friends and associates as a ladder to achieve greatness, he will then turn his back on them and look away ("in the clouds") and hold the steps or degrees he used to get there in contempt.
I'm not sure what you mean. Brutus' mother was Julius Caesar's mistress, that is, they were lovers.

This must be reffering to that assignment regarding Brutus and Caesar....

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," when Brutus refers to Caesar having "the falling sickness," he is alluding to Caesar's epilepsy, a condition characterized by seizures. This phrase serves to undermine Caesar's image of strength and invulnerability, suggesting that he is physically weak and unfit to hold power. It also highlights Brutus's internal conflict, as he is torn between his loyalty to Caesar and his belief that Caesar's potential rule could threaten the Republic.
et tu brute means "And thou, Brutus?" or - You too Brutus?/How about you Brutus?
Antony shows the commoners Caesar's wounds to emphasize the cruelty of the conspirators' actions. When he says "this was the most unkindest cut of all" he's referring to where Brutus stabbed Caesar. Since Brutus was his friend, he really betrayed Caesar. It was like a friend "stabbing you in the back."

Brutus was a trustworthy person; he had good intentions. He was a strong believer in honesty which comes hand in hand with being trustworthy. When the conspirators wanted to kill Mark Antony, Brutus objected to it.
Brutus is afraid that once Caesar has used his friends and associates as a ladder to achieve greatness, he will then turn his back on them and look away ("in the clouds") and hold the steps or degrees he used to get there in contempt.
If you mean the speech which starts "Romans, countrymen and lovers! Hear me for my cause", he is presenting a justification for why he and his fellow conspirators assassinated Caesar.
