Answer: According to Brutus, they killed Caesar because he had too much power.
Explanation:
In Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>, Brutus joins a group of conspirators who plot Caesar's murder. Although a friend of Caesar's, Brutus believes that Caesar is dangerous and will become a dictator of Rome. He strongly believes that it will be better for Rome to be governed by the senators than a single ruler. According to Brutus, he and the senators kill Caesar for the purpose of saving the Republic. However, it turns out that it is only Brutus that focuses on this goal. At the end of the play, Brutus confesses that it was harder for him to kill Caesar than to kill himself, which proves that he really had nothing against Caesar as a person:<em> "Caesar, now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will." </em>The other men have other motives that have nothing to do with the good of Rome.
The answer is materialism. This is evident as the narrator wishes to go to a remote cabin in the woods and essentially live off the land while depriving himself of human contact and engaging with nature. No mention of religion is made in the passage, nor is there any concepts of turmoil that the narrator makes note of. Instead, he talks of his willingness to move to Innisfree, to live in a cabin simply, as he views it as his purpose.
