Which line is spoken by Brutus?

• A. Caesar, beware of Brutus. Watch Cassius. Don't go near Casca. Keep an eye on Cinna. Don't trust Trebonius.
• B. Et tu, Brute! - Then fall, Caesar.
• C. Hands, speak for me!
• D. When beggars die there are no comets in the sky. The heavens only announce the deaths of princes.

Answer: (C)

This line showcases Brutus’s belief that action will carry his message more effectively than words. He’s the kind of character who wants deeds to justify his choices, not grand rhetoric, so commanding his “hands” to speak for him fits his practical, duty-driven mindset. In the play, this moment emphasizes Brutus’s resolve to act for Rome, letting the consequences of his actions speak for his motives.

The other lines come from different characters: the warning to Caesar about Brutus is spoken by Artemidorus; “Et tu, Brute!” is Caesar’s remark when he realizes Brutus is among the conspirators; and the comet/princes line is Calpurnia’s, tied to her omen about Caesar’s fate.
