Cassius is a man shrouded in mystery the only thing we need to know is he isn’t the good guy in this story. The play itself starts off with a cobler and guard then Cesar comes in and after a soothsayer says “beware the ides of march”(17). warning caesar about his soon to be doom, we get Cassius first appearance where he makes himself out to be a friend and supporter of Caesar and after that we see him go and talk to Brutus. Cassius starts by saying “You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand over your friend that loves you”(36). Cassius is using pathos and connotative words to suggest a tone; he uses the words love and friend to try and gain Brutus trust. Most of Cassius speeches are made using pathos to convince the people he needs on his

Chapter 1: Who is Julius Caesar? Born on July 13 100 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar, said to be delivered with the help of a caesarian section, became one of the most famous figures ever known. He was born out of the womb of Aurelia, daughter of former consul Cotta, and was the son of J. Caesar and therefore part of the Julian family who claimed to have descended from Julus, son of the demigod Aeneas and grandson of the goddess Venus. Caesar was part of a patrician family, a group of the highest class families around in that time, and therefore was a wealthy child and would grow up to be a wealthy man. Very Little is known about Julius Caesar’s father besides the fact that he was active in the military and in politics, meaning he was out most of

The clang of the swords on the shields pierced General Julius Caesar’s ear. He couldn’t wait till the war against the Greeks was over and he could return home to his wife. He slaughtered 113 enemy soldiers and was still on the hunt to find one. He stepped over 47 bodies, some of which were still breathing and groaning their last breaths on the eastern shore of the river Acheron. Caesar's nemesis was General Brutus,the leader of the greek army, and his old best friend. After the battle at the River of Acheron, General Julius Caesar rode back to his camp, Gleaming in his Ice-white armour, shining in his glory after his victory vs the Greeks.

	Julius Caesar vacillates, or changes, his mind throughout the play and this downfall is shown to be one of Caesar’s hamartias. On the day Caesar is to go to the Capitol, he changes his decisions frequently. Caesar defies the warnings of Calpurnia and the priests and Caesar says that she, Caesar, shall go forth to the Capitol this day. "Caesar. Caesar shall forth. The things that threatened me Ne’er looked but on my back. When they shall see The face of Caesar, they are vanished." Through this quotation, it seems Caesar has made his mind to go forth to the Capitol. Calpurnia, though, is able to persuade him to stay home and send word that he is sick. Caesar replies, "Caesar. Mark Antony shall say I am not well, And for thy humour I will stay at home."(2,2,55-56) Decius then flatters Caesar and is able to persuade him that Calpurnia’s nightmare is misinterpreted and that he

This passage marks a defining turning point in Julius Caesar. Caesar, persuaded to stay at home by his wife, chooses instead to attend the fatal Senate meeting that Ides of March. Decius’ masterfully persuasive flattery and argument serve to counter and nullify Calpurnia’s less skillfully stated claims. Calphurnia’s argument is weaker from the beginning. Starting off with her personal fright, the great majority of her argument is unadulterated pathos.

In order for the plan’s success, Cassius required his friend Brutus, whom he manipulated into joining. Ironically, Brutus quickly took control and, in many ways, led to Cassius’ demise. Cassius in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar evolves

Cassius sure is slick, don't you think? It's obvious he wanted Brutus to join the conspiracy against Caesar, but instead of coming right out and asking him, he tried to stroke Brutus' ego by suggesting that the

Anyways, Cassius suggests that they should all kill Antony for motivation. Brutus refused and says that without Caesar, Antony will be nothing.
