act 3 scene 1

"grant that, and then death a benefit. so are we caesers friends that have abridged his time of fearing death. stoop, romans, stoop, and let us bathe our hands in caeser's blood up to the elbows, and besmear our swords." 71

This passage is important because this shows that brutus really thinks that killing caeser was the right thing to do for rome. It shows this because he claims that they are friends of caeser by shortening caeser's time of fearing death. also he says to "let us bathe our hands in caeser blood" which to me means that he really believed that they did the right thing so they shouldn't deny killing caeser but be proud of it and tell everyone it was them.
