I always thought that maybe, just maybe Caesar thinks to himself, "if Brutus thinks I'm this horrible... maybe I am." and then dies. But the internal struggle Brutus has had and is going to have is summed up in this line too. That's a haunting thing to hear if you're Brutus. By the way, when I was a kid I tried to emulate Mercutio; Hilarious, ladies man the kind of guy you want at a party. I always thought I'd some day name my son Mercutio but nope, not even in consideration. I wouldn't dream of naming my son that now.
