Which of these lines from the play indicates that brutus fears caesar will become a corrupt ruler?

"it must be by his death, and for my part/i know no personal cause to spurn at him"

"and, to speak truth of caesar/i have not known when his affections swayed/more than his reason."

"but 'tis a common proof/that lowliness is young ambition's ladder,"

"crown him that,/and then i grant we put a sting in him/that at his will he may do danger with."

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.
th' abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
remorse from power. and, to speak truth of caesar,
i have not known when his affections swayed
more than his reason. but 'tis a common proof
that lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
whereto the climber upward turns his face.
but when he once attains the upmost round,
he then unto the ladder turns his back,
looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
by which he did ascend. so caesar may.
then, lest he may, prevent. and since the quarrel
will bear no color for the thing he is,
fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
would run to these and these extremities.
and therefore think him as a serpent's egg-
which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous-
and kill him in the shell.

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do? " what intrinsic motivation does the author most likely intend the reader to infer from the passage? paul is motivated by his need to have mitchell praise his riding skills. mitchell is motivated by his need to have paul praise his riding skills. paul is motivated by jealousy and wishes he had free time like mitchell. mitchell is motivated by jealousy and wishes he could ride the horse.
