Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
well,to the other guys like cassius and decius,killing caeser is just a plan to be carried out,as they hate him!.brutus does not hate him,he sees caesers death as a moral issue which goes against his instincts,but is justified in his mind as been of greater value to the public institutions of rome!.he acted not in hatred of caeser,but for the general good of rome!.anthony praises brutus in the end,saying:'he only,in a general honest thought
and common good to all,made one of them,his life was gentle,and the elements so mixed in him,that nature might stand up and say to all the world,'This was a man'!.brutus alone of the plotters had a conscience!.in the end,brutus,after seeing caesers ghost comes to see that the spirit of caeser has not been stilled,and he sees that what he had taken to be a political act in killing caeser,means more to him now as a useless betrayal of the trust caeser had in him!.at the moment he dies he says:'caeser,now be still;i killed not thee with half so good a will!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com
