1.) He cannot sleep because he canâ≢t decide whether or not Caesar will abuse his power or not. He fears that if he does kill Caesar, that it could be without reason, but if he doesnâ≢t, the Roman people will be oppressed.
2.) He says that Caesar must be killed, but I have no personal reason to hold such a grudge against him. But how his new power may corrupt him is what is important. That temptation is always there, for him to abuse his power.

Secondly, it shows that Brutus is smart and a good speaker.
7.) Brutus wins the argument because he has to be happy with the plans so that he will stay part of the conspiracy, since they have nothing without him.
8.) By telling him that unicorns may be betrayed with trees, and bears with glasses elephants with holes, lions with toils, and men with flatterers. This would draw him in because he hates flatterers.
