Answer 1

Brutus was a traitor who betrayed his great friend only because of his own beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brutus decided on his own to be Caesar's "judge" by condemning him for his actions and murdering him without hesitation.

He took advantage of his friendship with Caesar to be able to overthrow him, despite the fact that he said he wanted the best for the people. This is where the contradictory part comes in. Although Brutus was a traitor, he did everything for the people of Rome to prosper.
