Who stabbed Caesar last?

Who stabbed Caesar last?

• A. Cassius
• B. Brutus
• C. Lucius
• D. Decius

Answer: (B)

The event hinges on the sequence of Caesar’s murder and the way it underscores betrayal by someone trusted. In the assassination, a group of conspirators surrounds Caesar and strikes him in turn, but the last to stab him is Brutus—the friend Caesar trusted most. That final act, paired with Caesar’s famous plea, “Et tu, Brute?” crystallizes the sense of personal betrayal at the heart of the scene. The others named play roles in the plot or in the earlier stabbings (Cassius and Decius Brutus among the conspirators, Lucius as Caesar’s servant), but Brutus is the one who delivers the final, decisive thrust.
