Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Brutus addresses the crowd after Caesar's assassination, justifying the act by claiming Caesar's ambition threatened Rome's republican freedom. The other options are incorrect: Caesar was not labeled "evil" by Brutus, epilepsy was a health issue not cited as a reason, and Caesar did not kill Calpurnia (his wife).

Answer:

Caesar was too ambitious.
