Brutus believes Caesar has become to ambitious and his
excess power makes him a danger to Rome. He bears no personal animosity for him but
feels he must die for the good of Rome
Cassius has a
personal dislike toward Caesar. He too believes Caesar is too ambitious, but his main
reason for wanting him killed off is a personal one. He feels Caesar has never given
him the respect he deserves and resents him for acting like a God when he's in reality a
man like everyone else.
Caius Ligarius dislikes Caesar
because Caesar repremanded him for paying tribute to
Pompey.
Metellus Cimber grudges Caeser for banishing his
brother Publius Cimber for a reason unspecified.
The play
doesn't give specific reasons for the others, but one can assume it's because they feel
he is too ambitious. However, whether their motives are more for the good of Rome or
for personal advancement is unstated.
