Who killed Caesar?

• A. Cassius
• B. Brutus
• C. Antony
• D. Casca

Answer: (B)

The central idea here is the dramatic betrayal at the heart of Caesar’s murder in the play. Caesar is killed by a group of senators, but Brutus stands out because he is Caesar’s close ally who turns against him. The moment of stabbing is emotionally charged by Brutus’s involvement, and Caesar’s infamous “Et tu, Brute?” highlights the shock of a trusted friend joining the conspiracy. This personal betrayal makes Brutus the symbol and most remembered killer in the narrative, which is why he’s the best answer even though several conspirators participate. The others—Cassius helped organize the plot, Casca is among the first attackers, and Antony does not kill Caesar—serve as context, but Brutus represents the key act of betrayal the question emphasizes.
