In deciding whether to join the conspiracy, Brutus must choose between his friendship with (and admiration of) Caesar and his public responsibility to prevent Caesar’s alleged ambition to undermine the Roman Republic. Cassius has convinced Brutus that Caesar plans to install himself as monarch. A monarchy would rob the Romans of their long-held liberties.

In his soliloquy in Act II, Scene i, Brutus resolves his inner conflict. He states that he will join the conspiracy because of Caesar’s ambition to be crowned:

ADVERTISING

It must be by his death: and for my part
I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general good. He would be crown’d:
How that might change his nature. . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg
Which, hatch’d, would, as his kind, grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shell.

After Caesar’s assassination, Brutus explains his actions to the plebeians (average citizens) in the Forum (Act III, Scene ii):

. . . If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honor him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him.

Please answer and explain why. Don't just give the answer.
labwork [276]
Appeal to emotion. He's trying to manipulate people's emotions by saying things like ""deserves the love and thanks" which is very positive. Who wouldn't want to be loved and thanked by others? I think he's trying to say that if you fight, you will be honored.

Appeal to ethics is when the writer tries to convince the reader that he is knowledgeable about the subject like if he said, "As a doctor...." But he doesn't refer to himself in this passage.

Appeal to logic would be using facts, reasoning, evidence, and stuff, but I don't see a lot of facts here.
 
Appeal to authority would be him saying that because another person said something, it must be true. But he doesn't refer to anyone else here.
