    Some believe Casca to be innocently taken advantage of. Similar to Brutus, he seemed to be questioning his alliance with Cassius but still having a bond with Caesar, a man he looked up to. On the other hand, some believe Casca to be untrue and a traitor from the beginning, waiting for a moment to throw Caesar out of power. I believe the latter is the more justified of the two, and Casca grasped onto the chance Cassius gave him to rid of Caesar. In “The Tragedy of Julius,” the character of Casca
