Brutus trying to decide whether his love of Rome is stronger than his love for Caesar.
Why: Acts 1–2 center on Brutus’s moral dilemma—Cassius’s persuasion, the planted letters, and Brutus’s soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 all show him weighing personal loyalty against republican principle. His decision to join and then shape the conspiracy directly drives the plot forward (the assassination plan, who is included, and how it will be carried out). The other conflicts (Flavius/Marullus and Caesar’s suspicion of Cassius) are important background, but they don’t move the main action as much in these acts.
