Who is the last man to stab Caesar?

• A. Julius
• B. Octavius
• C. Cassius
• D. Brutus

Answer: (D)

This question tests your memory of the assassination scene in Julius Caesar and who delivers the final stab. In the play, Caesar is attacked by a group of conspirators, including his close ally Brutus. The stabbing ends when Brutus delivers the last dagger blow, underscoring the bitter betrayal Caesar feels as he recognizes Brutus among the attackers. The moment is famous for Caesar’s shocked line, “Et tu, Brute?” which highlights the personal nature of the betrayal.

Julius is Caesar himself, so he cannot stab Caesar. Octavius is Caesar’s heir who appears later and is not part of the assassination scene. Cassius is indeed one of the conspirators, but he does not deliver the final stab. Therefore, Brutus is the correct answer.
