Q

Marcus Brutus

Wants the best for Rome so he has to join the group of conspirators to kill Caesar. He is reluctant to join the plot, but he does anyway, because he wants Rome to remain a Republic – ruled by the people, not a king.

Q

Mark Antony

A

Loyal to Caesar. Talked about Caesar on funeral and the conspirators. He kept saying “Brutus is an honorable man” and was being very sarcastic. He really meant that Brutus WASN’T honorable, because he killed his friend Caesar.

Eventually, though, after Brutus commits suicide, Mark Antony does mean it a bit when he says that Brutus was more honorable than all the other conspirators, because Brutus was at least killing Caesar for the right reasons – to save Rome. The rest of the conspirators were just jealous of Caesar’s popularity and power.
