That they will make Julius Caesar a king, changing Rome from a republic to a monarchy.
They did so secretly to make it seem to Brutus that Rome was in agony under the tyrannical rule of Julius Caesar and that only the most noble man of Rome, that is , Brutus can fre them from that imperialistic yoke.
No. I suppose this is up to the individual director of a performance, who could make them kiss if he/she wanted to, but Shakespeare himself never wrote a stage direction for Brutus and Portia to kiss.
Pompey is important in the plot because Julius Caesar ironically dies next to his statue after Caesar kills him. Pompey was important to the plot of Julius Caesar for many reasons. The first is because Pompey was part of that original trio of people that were going to rule together. Then Julius Caesar freaks out and wants to rule by himself so he goes off and decides to kill Pompey. This makes Julius Caesar very big headed. He begins to like himself a bit too much, and does things just to get attention and pretend that he is modest (like refusing the crown three times before finally accepting it.) This leaves Pompey's people in a bit of a predicament. They have to choose between death, and following Julius Caesar's rule. Many of them decide to follow Caesar, and many decide to just die. Cassius and Brutus have a similar relationship. Cassius needs Brutus to be able to go through with his plan. Without Brutus, he wouldn't get away with it because he wouldn't have an insider in on the assassination plans. Even if Cassius went through with the plans to kill Caesar with the help of Brutus, and he was successful; people would look down on this. Brutus has the power to make anything he does wrong look like the politically correct thing to do. If the group gets away with killing Caesar, then they will need someone to make everyone else see their side. That is Brutus. So in the end, Brutus is being used intentionally, and Pompey being murdered was a good thing to Caesar.
Cassius wants Brutus to join in a conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar. He tells Brutus stories of Caesar to poison his mind and make Brutus believe that Caesar wants to set himself up as a tyrant.
i have no idea what the awnser is.....
The main reason is that Brutus believed he was ambitious. Antony does through in some good points how he wasn't ambitious. Caesar was apparently [from Brutus's point of view] power hungry and would make Rome corrupt.

it was to entertain the audience with drama and excitement.
Brutus and the conspirators believed that Julius Caesar was going to become a tyrant and destroy Rome with his dictatorship. Brutus was very honorable and believed that if they killed Caesar they will be remembered as the men who saved Rome from a tyrant and will become the most honorable men in Rome. But after the death of Caesar they were the most hated men in Rome. Brutus was manipulated and persuaded by Cassius' inspirational words about saving Rome and its people that he forgot the real purpose of killing Caesar. Brutus was the only one who wanted to kill Caesar for Rome the rest just wanted to kill him out of sheer jealousy.(All the conspirators thought that he[Caesar] was power hungry and too powerful for his own good.)

Brutus is the better leader because he gets persuaded into the assassination by Cassius and he is the only person among the conspirators that believes that once Caesar is killed it will benefit Rome. Everyone else is killing Caesar out of blood-lust, envy, or rivalry.
