In Julius Caesar, Brutus is upset with himself, due to dueling thoughts and beliefs that leave him with what he feels to be only hard choices. On one hand, he wants for Caesar to be successful. He loves Caesar. On the other hand, he believes that Caesar's ascension to power will ultimately lead to corruption and the downfall of Roman civilization.
This internal conflict within Brutus is a major theme of Julius Caesar, as his actions will directly affect his friendship with Caesar and his country. Ultimately, Brutus concludes that he would rather not be a Roman than be forced to live under the rule of a dictator—even Caesar.
After coming to this conclusion, Brutus agrees to take a major role in the plot to assassinate Caesar.
