Why does Brutus kill himself in the end of Julius Caesar?

Brutus was the inly nobleman in the play, who really cared about the roman republic.This is clearly shown in his contribution and his real aim in joining thew conspiracy, as he was the only one between the 22 conspirators whose main objective is to rescue rome from being ruled by another tryant, on the contray, the others main and only objective was to remove caesar away from the throne, because they were jealous and envy from julius grapping all the power in his own.


Not only this event, but this had happened throghout the entire play.this shows us that brutus was a nobleman, with pride and diginity who will fight for them even if it the cost for it was his life.Apparntly, this clearly happened when he fled away from rome to asia, and left his country which he was born in it, grew in it and left his lovely loyal wife, portia.He left the honour and the respect of the romans and fled to scarifice his life to rome, without expecting a reward.


So when he felt that he is going to lose his honour and diginity, he killed himself, because he knew that if he was captured, he will be dragged on his knees through the streets of rome without pity or mercy.so in his own point of view, dying and abondoning the world, is better than been dragged like a captured slave.
