The Conspirators So basically Julius Caesar is a huge character in which people looked upon on. Except the conspirators whom wanted him gone. They tried to avoid him from the beginning to not cause the death of him. But as time came and they noticed how everyone wanted him as their king. They became jealous of him. Let’s get to know who the conspirators are and why they did this to Julius Caesar. Was it for jealousy, anger, or was it for something that no one knows. Were the conspirators wrong to kill Julius Caesar? Caesar is an idol to Rome. For example, Caesar "reorganized the town governments in Italy, reformed the courts, planned to codify the law to improve administration. Besides that, Caesar brought peace and stability to Rome. Evidently, Caesar stops the civil wars in 45 BC. This allowed the Romans to live in harmony and collaborate on improving their country. It appears that Caesar's death marked an impact in Roman history. Imagine the impact that the romans received when Julius Caesar died. The Conspirators plan was to capture Julius and kill him. In this case it wasn't that easy due to the fact that they needed a specific person to blame the death of Julius, thus the candidate was Brutus.” And this man is now become a god; and Cassius is A wretched creature, and must bend his body, If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.”(I, ii). As you can see the quote shows his motive of envy and resentment and the desire to eliminate Caesar. His motives contrast with the honorable motives of Brutus Brutus reason to kill Julius wasn’t the same reason like the conspirators. Brutus loved roman over anyone.” For let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honor more than I fear death.”(I, ii). These lines show that Brutus is an honorable person who values his honor above all else. He wants to do what is best for Rome, even if it means his own death. Not only that but it shows that he fears the people will place Caesar as their king. And explains how he opposes to Caesar's rule, based on honorable intentions, and not selfish motives which led Mark Antony to call him "the noblest Roman of them all". “Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar!”(III.I.77).Though too late, the conspirators killed Julius Caesar without a reason. the conspirators were selfish in my opinion to do something like this with anger and jealousy. if it weren’t for this action who would’ve known what Julius Caesar might’ve been.
