⇛ The play's main conflict is exposed in this part of the script. Caesar has established himself as a divisive figure as a result of his swift ascent to prominence. Rome's populace is unmistakably behind him, despite their prior backing of Pompey, whom he beat in combat.

⇛ However, as Cassius points out, this might be the case since the Roman populace is helpless and sheeplike, whereas Caesar is a wolf that hunts prey. Many well-known people openly reject Caesar's rule, including Cassius.

⇛ Brutus is in the epicentre of this battle, which dominates a large portion of the play. Brutus is a kind man and an amazing politician who always has the welfare of the populace in mind. Like Cassius, he opposes Caesar's fast ascent to power and the degree of authority that has been bestowed upon him.

⇛ Caesar is a close friend who has always trusted Brutus, thus this causes him some conflict. Should he let Caesar govern and maybe turn into a tyrant, or should he choose the lesser of two evils? Or should he join a plot to prevent Caesar from acquiring too much power?

⇛ Cassius serves as a counterpart or contrast to Brutus as a character in numerous aspects. Whereas Brutus is driven solely by what is right, Cassius' motivations appear to be more self-centered.

⇛ He appears to be motivated by avarice or jealousy, and he is completely willing to exploit Brutus in any way imaginable to convince him to join the plot.

⇛ He even emphasises in the first Act that, while Brutus is a fine man, no one is so firm in their ideas that they cannot be persuaded. Thus, he conveys his belief that he can easily persuade Brutus to join the plot.
