Brutus was needed for the conspiracy because he was a high ranking senator and also a staunch republican. He gave the conspiracy legitimacy.
Julius adopted Octavius when he was four since he and his wife had no children together and he needed an heir.
Wasn't he always? His toady-like adherence to Caesar was clearly a way to get himself in a position of power. With Caesar's death, that position was threatened, and so he took whatever steps he needed to in order to maintain his political status, including lying to Brutus and intentionally whipping up the mob to drive Brutus and the conspirators out of Rome.
Cassius wants Brutus to join in a conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar. He tells Brutus stories of Caesar to poison his mind and make Brutus believe that Caesar wants to set himself up as a tyrant.
Decius interprets Calphurnia's dream as a way to ersuade Caesar to come out of his house instead of hiding. He tells him that the blood in the dream does not mean death but a way of energizing Rome and that all of his men will laugh at him for believing in such a foolish thing.
It was partly do to the glory Julius needed to win over the remainder of the senate to his side. When Egypt killed Pompey, it may have made him look weak.

Question: In principle, Et tu, Brute! means "And you, too, brutus?" but i do not understand why the "us" changes to "e" in the name. i assume shakespeare was just trying to show off his knowledge of how latin endings change because of case, but isn't this still the nominative case?Correct Answer:No. The nominative case is used to indicate subjects, as in:Brutus venit. = Brutus is coming.BUT, in his tragedy "Julius Caesar,"when the dying Caesar addresses his erstwhile friend Brutus, who has joined the conspiracy to assassinate him, Wm Shakespeare was not showing off; he was correctly applying the vocative case form. The vocative case changes the name of the person who is is being addressed, as in:Et tu, Brute! = Even you, Brutus!This sentence means, 'you too, Brutus?' He was absolutely surprised, when he realized that, his son Brutus took part in the assassinate against him.

He had a horror face on at the moment he saw Julius Caesar's face but then he thought to himself he needed to be braver and help the country.
No. Killing Julius Caesar was not a good thing at all, especially for the Romans because they needed a skilled politician. A person that was professionally involved in politics, esp. as a holder of or a candidate for an elected office. That person that they needed support from was Julius Caesar.
<p><p> Basically, the assassination of Julius Caesar caused it. Octavian (young Augustus) was the official heir of Julius Caesar but he had a lot of enemies who wanted to defeat him (Marcus Antonius being one of them). He won the Battle of Actium against Marcus Antonius and returned to Rome as a triumphant. He'd observed Julius Caesar and what caused his assassination, so he knew that he had to go slow and keep the Roman traditions because that was what Julius Caesar did not do. He did not declare himself as an emperor as soon as he got the power, he waited for the right time although he had the complete power long before he declared himself as an emperor, but with different titles. People trusted him and he made Senate know that Rome needed him. When he became the emperor, Romans were truly happy about it.

Julius Caesar was a hero because he helped people who needed help. He is also a villain because he killed many people. I think that Caesar was a great leader. He did not repress the people or slay his political enemies. He helped the people in many of his great He gave land to the poor in Rome
yes Cassius forged letter and threw them in Brutus' house knowing that Brutus cares about the people and will join them. (this will bring the favor of Brutus and as Cassius believes the people) who will believe that Caesar's death was needed. The crowd is really dumb since they believe anyone who sounds convincing
