Answer:

Brutus may have seemed like a betrayer because he killed Caesar someone he saw as a friend. However, he was a patriot because he cared about the people of rome.

I actually agree with both. I feel he was a patriot because he killed Julius Caesar for the sake of Rome. He was a patriot because he wanted to protect Rome and he knew he had to do what it takes. However, I also think he’s a betrayer because he was a two-faced friend to Caesar and killed him. Then after he gave a speech only to give him a good reputation.
Hope this helps
