Explanation:

Brutus reveals in soliloquy, Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene I, the following points:

• Brutus intends to kill Caesar: while Brutus does not take part in the plot of murder since the very beginning ( as it is Cassius who made procedures to kill Caesar first), he finally joins Cassius in this scheme, which is obviously shown at the beginning of this statement, when Brutus mentions: "It must be by his death".
• Brutus is going to be a part of the conspiracy against Caesar: by using the pronoun ' we ' while thinking about the plot against Caesar, Brutus makes it clear that he is interested in this scheme- "And then I grant we put a sting in him".
• Caesar's killing will prevent him from becoming a tyrant: Brutus says that being a king would make Caesar threatening, compared to a venomous snake that emerges out on warm days.
