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.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

The agricultural revolution must be supported on the grounds of survival and security. This is because, although we have survived all these years as collectors, we have no guarantee of food, water and shelter. The Agricultural Revolution will give us food security, as we know that we will have enough to feed ourselves in the coming days. This revolution will also give us a fixed shelter, which we will not need to compete with dangerous animals, or even face deadly disputes. Finally, the agricultural revolution prevents us from walking for hours and hours, it will give us work, but also rest and a more peaceful life.
