Julius Caesar

Hi
It has been ten days since I came to the forums. Happy to be back. I have a doubt about a line in the drama 'Julius Caesar'.

After listening to Brutus' speech, the Third citizen says 'Let him be Caesar'. Does this mean that he hasn't understood Brutus' reason for killing Caesar?

If not, can I interpret it like this:
The third citizen felt Brutus is fit to take Caesar's place.

Do you have any more suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

Regards
Prajwal

Hi, After a quick look at the text, I think it means the third citizen feels Brutus is fit to take Caesar's place. The fourth citizen replies thus. Fourth citizen Caesar's better parts Shall be crown'd in Brutus.

Hi,

#1 is possible, but the crowd is moved by simple emotions so I'd choose answer # 3.
