1. Brutus and Cassius enter a place, where a huge crowd of people have assembled, demanding to know why Caesar was murdered. Brutus goes to the pulpit and asks the crowd to listen patiently as he explains the reasons. He tells everyone that he loved Caesar, but he loved Rome more. He explains that Caesar was killed because he threatened liberties of all Roman citizens. His speech is a masterpiece that ends by concluding that only the base would be offended by Caesar's death, since it shows good for Rome. This scene is mainly about a speech being given.
2. This is an important scene because it talks about the love many are saying they had for Julius. Without this scene we would have never known that Brutus said he loved Julius, but he loved Rome more. If the scene was not there then it would be much harder to understand and comprehend what they mean.
3. Why would Brutus say that he loved Julius? Didn’t he want him dead? How could you love Rome more than someone? He must have not loved Julius and he is just saying that. Didn’t everyone want him dead? Why would people be questioning it now when he’s already dead?
4. This line Brutus said was particularly odd, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” This to me is kind of funny. It is really saying that he didn’t love Julius that much. It tells a lot because everyone wanted Julius dead and then Brutus says this line. That is a great line because I didn’t really expect it at all.
