“Brutus says he was ambitious, / And sure he is an honourable man.”
Why: this line explicitly identifies Brutus as “an honourable man” (showing his strong morals and reputation) while Antony’s ironic tone questions that honour. It highlights that Brutus’s moral conviction (to protect Rome) leads him to the mistaken choice to join Caesar’s assassination, supporting the theme that even morally upright people can make grave errors.
