Julius caeser was merely surprised when the other senators stabbed him but when he saw that his best friend was among them he was shocked.
His trust in his friend was lost and thats why he stopped struggling anymore and died.
Julius placed great trust in his best friend Brutus. He had always been suspicious of Cassius, having earlier described him to have a lean and hungry look, but Brutus was a good, albeit mislead man, who also happened to have been his closest and most trusted friend. Therefore when the rest of the conspirators stabbed him, he only reacted with shock. It was the stab of Brutus (Mark Antony later describes it as the most painful of all) that drove Julius to lose faith and say "Et tu Brute", meaning even you Brutus. You see, he had never expected to have been given a death blow by his own best friend.
