Julius Caesar makes extravagant expressions of being firm and harsh unlike the old sympathetic‚ flexible Caesar that we know from Act 1 and 2.

I think that Brutus revealed a lot of dishonesty

Julius Caesar is very much a warrior and he thinks that he is above every one else and that he is more than an ordinary man. As a result he is very arrogant and takes very little notice of the people around him. As far as he is concerned‚ they are meaningless and not worth his time.
