What are Brutus' character analysis for the following lines from Julius Caesar?Grant that, and then is death a benefit:So are we Caesar's friends,...

In Act III, Scene 1, of Julius
Caesar, immediately after the assassination of Caesar by the conspirators and
the idealistic Brutus, who feels that "ambition's debt is paid" (3.1.90), some fear that
the slaying of Caesar will initiate harm to other Romans.  Publius, the elderly Roman
who has escorted Caesar to the Senate is worried, and Marc Antony has fled to his
house.

Because of the confusion, Brutus feels that the
Fates "will know your pleasure," but there is no point in being afraid because the fear
of death cuts years off one's life, anyway, as Cassius points out.  Brutus tells the
other conspirators to smear their hands with Caesar's blood so that the people will
understand that they all had a part in the death of the Roman ruler from whose
tyranny they have freed the Roman people. And, in his tyranny over the Romans, Caesar
has also been freed from fearing death by an assassin. For, Brutus, in his noble
thoughts, feels that he and the other conspirators have been his "friends" by
providing Caesar with the benefit of death which
erases all fear.
