Marcus Brutus is portrayed as a conflicted man, who is genuinely concerned about the citizens of Rome during the rise of Julius Caesar. Brutus is referred to as the "noblest Roman of them all" because of his sincere motivation to conspire against Caesar. Unlike the other conspirators, Brutus is not interested in advancing his social status or gaining increased authority throughout Rome. He is concerned about the future of the Republic and aspires to prevent Caesar from ruling as dictator for life. Brutus knows the dangers of giving one man total authority and is convinced that Caesar is ambitious enough to become a monarch. Despite Brutus's loyalty to the Roman population, he is also a close, trusted friend of Julius Caesar. Their personal relationship makes Brutus's decision even more difficult as he wrestles with the decision to conspire against his friend.

Despite Brutus's noble personality and positive reputation, he is portrayed as a rather naive individual, who makes several costly decisions throughout the play. Cassius and the other conspirators take advantage of Brutus because his support is integral to their success. They realize that Brutus is a respected figure throughout Rome and the masses will favor their decision to assassinate Caesar if Brutus supports and conspires with them. Brutus believes the fake letters Cassius writes and agrees to participate in Caesar's assassination. Brutus then makes the costly decision to allow Mark Antony to live and speak at Caesar's funeral, which ends up turning the masses against him and the other Senators.

Brutus goes on to lead his army against Octavius and Antony and reveals his pure intentions during an argument with Cassius. Brutus also reveals his guilt for conspiring against Caesar when he sees his ghost before the final battle. Brutus once again portrays his honorable disposition by running through his own sword at the end of the play rather than being captured by Octavius. Overall, Marcus Brutus is depicted as a noble, genuine man, who is conflicted about assassinating Julius Caesar and makes several costly decisions, which lead to his tragic death.
