Answer: Brutus has to decide between loyalty to Caesar and his own honor.
Explanation:
This excerpt expresses the main dilemma of the whole play - that is, the conflict between being a loyal friend and one's own honor.
In Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>, a group of conspirators decides to murder the roman general, Caesar, because he has assumed too much power. They do not want him to become a king. In <em>Act I, Scene II</em>, Brutus, a friend of Caesar's, confesses his true feelings. As he hears that people want Caesar to assume this position, he makes a confession to Cassius, one of the conspirators, that he would not like this to happen. As he puts it, he does love Caesar, but loves his honor more. He is not even afraid of death, if that is the price he has to pay.
