In Brutus’s speech he argues that Rome needs to be silent and listen to what he has say, and that his reasons are to better Rome. He implies that he loved Caesar but he loved Rome more, then he asks whether they would want to live as slaves while Caesar is alive or that he be dead and live all free men, then asks for anyone to speak if he has offended them, and finally Brutus’s purpose is to persuade the citizens of Rome that he will be a great leader in order for them to live as free men. He establishes a serious tone in order to provide the well being for the Roman Empire.
