Julius Caesar-Hero Or Brute?

Brutus - Hero or Brute (as his name seems to imply)? Brutus one of the main characters in the play, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus on the one hand seems to truly be a good person who wants the best for his beloved Rome and on the other had he almost seems jealous of Caesar. Did he actually love Caesar and simply loved Rome more or was he actually a jealous and revengeful person?

Brutus is one of my favorite characters in this play. He seems to really love his city and wants nothing more than to protect it from another tyrant like Rome had suffered before at the hands of kings. He is a most honorable man. His patriotism is beyond reproach. There is no other who would willingly betray someone that he loved and who was his best friend Caesar loved him like his own son, for the good of his country. I believe that Brutus was a hero even if he was a tragic hero a hero he remains. If it were me I would not be able to betray and murder my best friend for my country. This is why he was said at his death to "be the most honorable man in all of Rome".
Even his name suggests that he was indeed capable of revenge and jealousy and murder. On the one hand maybe he wanted to be emperor of Rome and just looked at Caesar as if he was getting too greedy by the power he held. On the other hand maybe he just got swayed into following those who were truly jealous of the power that Caesar held and they wanted his death so that they could take over. I am leaning that he was jealous of his best friend and used the excuse that Caesar would become a tyrant and ruin his beloved Rome. When in fact it was Brute(us) who wanted to run the country and hold all the power for himself. Jealousy, Rivalry and Revenge are very powerful ideas to lead you to murder someone. Maybe instead of actually loving Caesar he in fact hated him? Only he was better at hiding it than the others who took part in his death
