Brutus came from a very aristocratic and wealthy family.

Brutus was a traitor and a criminal; Antony's words are sarcastic.

Answer:

Brutus is the only conspirator who acted for the good of Rome, rather than out of jealousy, bitterness, or a thirst for power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brutus was in fact worried about Caesar's power. Not because of what it was at that time, but what it could become. Brutus was indeed thinking about the danger of a dictatorship or something alike and he was in constant internal conflict about what the others wanted to do.
