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.
How does Brutus from 'Julius Caesar' compare and contrast to Oedipus from 'Oedipus Rex'?
Marcus Junius Brutus [June 85 B.C.E.* - October 42 B.C.E.] is manipulated into killing his friend, Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C.E.* - March 15, 44 B.C.E.]. Oedipus likewise can be said to be manipulated, by the gods, into killing his own father and sovereign. Brutus ultimately is tracked down by Marcus Antonius [c. January 14, 83 B.C.E.* - August 1, 30 B.C.E.], Oedipus by fate.
Both characters end up disgraced because of their acts. Brutus commits suicide after his defeat at the second battle of Philippi. He's given an honorable burial. But history doesn't forget that he betrayed his friend. And yet it indeed is the noble cause that draws Brutus astray. The assassins are motivated by the increasingly dictatorial and self serving hold of Caesar over Roman society.
In contrast, Oedipus doesn't commit suicide. Instead, he's allowed an honorable death in which his body is there one minute, gone the next. But like Brutus, his memorial is honorable. In fact, he's buried on sacred ground, and his presence is foretold and upheld as lucky to the area.
Unlike in the case of Brutus, history therefore is kinder to Oedipus. The disgraced Theban King is reinstated posthumously. And yet, ironically, Oedipus doesn't kill nobly. Instead, his murderous act results from a street brawl over a right-of-way.

There are various versions of how Cleo and Julius met. Some say she was hidden in a rolled up carpet, some say that she was rolled up in a reed mat and others say that she was concealed in a bag of laundry.
