Brutus thinks that all of the power will go to Caesar's head.
He does not like it. Not one bit Kurtz!!!!
Brutus says this in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
He was the first of many to stab ceasar. He also said, "Speak hands for me!" It was the last thing said before Caeser's murder.
Antony's agenda was to turn the crowd against Brutus in order to set up his own grasp for power. Brutus really underestimated his ability and power, and thought he could do no harm once Caesar was dead. He was wrong--Antony succeeded in his plot to become one of the rulers of Rome.
Getting brutus behind them, claiming to much power
Both were achieved by defeating rival groups of aristocrats - Julius over Pompey and his family and the Cassius-Casca-Brutus gang, and Augustus over Mark Antony.
Brutus because Antony is very power hungry and Brutus wants the best for Rome.
In Julius Caesar, common people treated Julius like a god. Brutus knew people wanted Julius to be King, but Brutus feared that "power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely". Brutus thought power centered in one man, Caesar, would overturn the republic.
He does not like it. Not one bit Kurtz!!!!
Read Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"
Cassius convinces Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar by appealing to Brutus's sense of honor and patriotism and by highlighting Caesar's growing power and ambition. Cassius also plays on Brutus's fear that Caesar's power will diminish the Roman Republic.
his weakness was that he's afraid to lose power.
Cassius has a lot of envy towards Caesar, he wants the power and wont let casar get it! so he manipulates brutus into thinking that Caesar is a tyrant and that hes going to abuse his power. brutus, being an idealist, believes Cassius and assassinates his friend, Caesar.
Brutus says this in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
A question on the passage is "Why did Brutus betray Julius Caesar?" An answer is "He wanted power."
He was the first of many to stab ceasar. He also said, "Speak hands for me!" It was the last thing said before Caeser's murder.
The main reason is that Brutus believed he was ambitious. Antony does through in some good points how he wasn't ambitious. Caesar was apparently [from Brutus's point of view] power hungry and would make Rome corrupt.
