What is the best summary of this monologue? Brutus directs the conspirators to bathe themselves
and their swords in Caesar's blood to celebrate both
the life and death of Caesar.
Brutus convinces himself and the others that they
freed Caesar from spending time fearing death.
Brutus says that death is a benefit and that they did
Caesar a favor by killing him, because that means he
had less time to worry about dying. Then he asks
everyone to bathe their hands and swords in
Caesar's blood so that they can walk to the
marketplace, crying, "Peace, freedom and liberty!"
O Brutus tells them they did Caesar a favor by killing
him, and then he says, "Let's all cry 'peace, freedom
and liberty!'", and someday perhaps someone will
pay them the same favor.
