Brutus should also think more for himself which he does but he also fell into Cassius’s conspiracy very easily. The conspiracy does a good job on getting Brutus to join because he is seen high in the Roman people and they will listen to him just as much as they would listen to Caesar. Brutus decides to do this not to be the next leader but he wants what is best for the Roman people. He could care less about the fame, as long as the city of Rome is thriving Brutus is happy. Brutus would also be a good leader for Rome if he wanted to be, considering he wants Rome to thrive and not have an ignorant leader. Although taking Caesar down seems like the right thing to do there are many other opinions on it. Brutus could simply just talk to Caesar about the situation and try to resolve it but he does not know how Caesar will react, he might turn on Brutus and kill him or put him in jail. The conspiracy also never really gives a good reason they should execute Caesar. They only say that he is gaining too much power and that he needs to be taken

However, I think Brutus was a patriot, therefore when Cassius offers him the option to join the plot right away, he declines because he doesn't believe Caesar deserves anything so severe. Brutus resolves to assassinate Caesar after Cassius plants the bogus papers from Rome because he doesn't want the people to be held in servitude. He didn't assassinate Caesar out of envy like the others did, but rather for the good of Rome.

When Brutus was talking to the conspirators Brutus was going back and forth think if he should help the conspirators kill Julius Caesar. He was going back and forth because he was thinking of the power he could have and could rule Rome. The reason behind Brutus killing Caesar was for the better of Rome. If Brutus would not have killed Caesar, Rome would have turned into a dictatorship, and in turn it would have ruined Rome and all of its people.

Brutus is claiming he would rather be poor than live with dishonor under tyranny, and joined the conspiracy to keep his honor.
Brutus, does not have the arrogant stubbornness of Caesar, rather he makes authoritative decisions without regard to other opinions.

Immediately after enlisting in the conspiracy Brutus, who was not elected leader, aggressively takes command of the conspiracy and makes a series of decisions despite differing opinions from every other member of the group. In Act II Scene 1, the conspiracy gathers together to plot their attack on Caesar, and Brutus immediately takes command. The group asks if they should swear an oath, have Cicero join the conspiracy, or kill Mark Antony.
