Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -His increasing power and great ambition agitated many senators who feared Caesar aspired to be king. Only a month after Caesar’s declaration, a group of senators, among them Marcus Junius Brutus, Caesar’s second choice as heir, and Gaius Cassius Longinus assassinated Caesar in fear of his absolute power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Brutus is a respected citizen of Rome and is a strong supporter of the republic. If Caesar became king he would destroy the Roman Republic, and Brutus thinks he is not fit for a king. Brutus stands out in the play because he is willing to kill Caesar for what he thinks is good for the Roman people.
