Read the excerpt from julius caesar, act 2, scene 1. brutus. it must be by his death: and for my part i know no personal cause to spurn at him but for the general. he would be crowned: how that might change his nature, there’s the question. it is the bright day that brings forth the adder,* and that craves wary walking. crown him that, and then i grant we put a sting in him that at his will he may do danger with. *an adder is a snake. which summary of the passage is the best? brutus says he has no personal reason to kill caesar, but wants to anyway. brutus decides that, for the good of the people, caesar must be killed. if they crowned caesar, they would be giving him power, with which he could do damage. brutus compares caesar to a snake and says that they need to tread carefully around him. brutus declares that caesar must die, though he has nothing personal against him. he worries about how caesar would change if he were crowned and explains that evil comes from good—much like dangerous snakes can come out on sunny days, when everyone needs to watch where they step. he says that caesar may do damage if he is crowned.

the best summary of the passage is the second one, because it is more complete and exact and makes specific references to the excerpt, as well as it contains a deeper interpretation to brutus words:

brutus says he has no personal reason to kill caesar, but wants to anyway. brutus decides that, for the good of the people, caesar must be killed. if they crowned caesar, they would be giving him power, with which he could do damage.   brutus compares caesar to a snake and says that they need to tread carefully around him. brutus declares that caesar must die, though he has nothing personal against him. he worries about how caesar would change if he were crowned and explains that evil comes from good—much like dangerous snakes can come out on sunny days, when everyone needs to watch where they step. he says that caesar may do damage if he is crowned.

brutus has no intention to wish caesar’s death, but he understands that he is not trustworthy and the power he would acquire after his crowning may damage people and brutus’ work is to protect people. that is the reason why he refers to “a general cause” rather than a “personal cause”, the general welfare is at risk, not him. brutus argues that caesar is not different from a snake, as good things bring about bad people, caesar will bring bad things to the people he is supposed to protect, because his nature is wickedness. and then, he continues: ‘and that craves wary walking’ which means that   the only possible solution is to kill caesar, at least to be cautious.
