Okay I read this book this year but I can't fully remember everything, I will try the best I can!.

1!. I think one reason was that he thought that was what the people wanted!. also because he had this feeling that all Caesar wanted was power!.
2!. Sorry can't remember!.!.!.!.
3!. I think that it urges Brutus to kill Caesar!. See letters were being thrown at his door, threw his window, and everything, and it was all from the conspirators!. These letters seemed as though they were from the villagers, so he thought that killing Caesar was what the villagers were asking him to do!. I think :)
4!. Something about an oath, you probably should look this up because I can't fully remember!.
5!. He decides to join for the villagers!.!.!.I think!.
6!. don't remember
7!. Well even though people warned him not to go (like his wife) pretty much begged him, he didn't want to seem weak and afraid by not going!. Which by going he got himself killed!. He was even warned by that one scary thing that showed up it the beginning of the play, which name I cannot remember!.

I suggest looking up some summaries!.!.!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
