1. We never expect our family or friends to turn against us and there can be a worse betrayal than one committed by a best friend.
2. In no way in literature has this been more powerfully expressed than by Shakespeare in his play Julius Caesar.
3. Caesar sees his best friend Brutus among his murderers, but does he realise the extent of the betrayal against him.
4. No sooner has Brutus stabbed him than Caesar falls to his death, speaking the famous line ‘Et tu, Brute?’, meaning ‘And you, Brutus?’ This is now a phrase often used to express sadness and surprise when you are let down by someone considered to be a trusted friend. Perhaps, like Caesar, it's hardly we are let down badly by a good friend that we appreciate how devastating a betrayal can be.
