In the excerpt below from Act 3, Scene 2 of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", the statement that best summarizes the main idea of Brutus' speech is Though Brutus loved Caesar, his love for Rome outweighed it, so he assassinated the ambitious Caesar in Rome's best interest. Brutus speaks to half the plebeians, the others go with Cassius. In his speech, Brutus tries to explain his reasons for having killed Caesar. He says he loved him and honored him but he had to kill him for Rome's sake. The reason for killing Caesar was not a question of not loving him but it was because of Caesar's ambition and the danger that could bring to Rome.
