If I Were Brutus

I think that if I were Brutus, I would think that the good of Rome would be more important than one of my fiends. If Caesar was emperor, then the only one happy would be himself. If I were head of the senate, I could make most of Rome happy. After all why is he so important that he gets to be emperor. After all, as Cassius told me (1:2:143-171), he is no more important than me. Besides, from what Cassius tells me (1:2:98-139), Caesar is a weakling and when he was younger, Cassius had to save his life more than once. Finally, his wife as well as Caesar are quite superstitious. What we don't need is a terrified leader who believes too many stories or is easily influenced by them.
