Brutus' Dilema

I would be loyal to Caesar. Caesar has been my friend longer than Cassius. Caesar may not be thinking of the good of Rome, but Cassius isn't thinking of the good of Rome either. All Cassius wants is to get Caesar out of the way so that he can take over. He never really wanted Brutus and he was never going to make Brutus the head. Cassius was making Caesar look bad by telling stories about him that make him look like he has no power or strength. I could never live with the memory of killing one of my friends who had helped me get so far. Caesar is powerful, but that might not be a bad thing because Brutus is one of Caesars good friends. Killing Caesar would end up in a big mess. Sometimes is good to have someone making the decisions. Caesar expanded the area of Rome, defeated Pompey, was a good general, and was good to the common people. So, it isn't a bad thing that Caesar is in charge. I would rather tell Caesar to change so he can try to rule better. Killing Caesar is way to drastic and something I could never do because I'm a loyal friend. Having Caesar as a ruler is a lot better than killing him and then having total chaos. Cassius isn't someone I've known for that long either. Caesar has been a friend longer than Cassius and I would side with Caesar rather than someone I don't know too well.
