Why did lucius not recognize the other conspirators with Cassius when they arrived?

because "the noble" brutus was with them.


What many mistakes did Brutus make?

when Cassius warned brutus to kill Antony, Brutus refused saying that Antony is, but a limb of Caesar.Also he believed that when Brutus tells Antony the reason why they killed Caesar, Antony will be their ally.the other error of Brutus was that he let Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral. and this was a huge mistake.


What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?

The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."

Brutus has defeated Octavius' forces but instead of reinforcing Cassius' forces, have instead sought out spoils or bounty from the field.


Explain the disagreement that brutus and Cassius have about the battle strategy?

Cassius plans to stay and wait with his army so that when Antony and Octavius get towards them they will be tired and use their resources; however Brutus over rules his plan with his own. He wanted their military to go towards them, because there was a city between the their army and Antony's, and if they didn't get their first Antony could persuade them to join forces with them, making them more powerful then his own army.

What battle plan does Cassius propose?

Cassius wants to wait where they are so that they are nicely rested and fully energized while Antony's troops would come tired. The battle would then be won by them. On the other hand, Brutus feels that they should march to Antony. This is because the people living in that area were only on their side as they were forced to be. Thus, if Antony marched towards them, they would not be able to recruit many people on the way making their army very big and unbeatable. Also, they would be well refreshed. In the end, it was Brutus' plan that was chosen.

How is the argument between Brutus and Cassius different from the one between Octavius and Antony?

· Antony and Octavius are way more formal with each other. They end up questioning each other's friendships and trust. Though they say they are friends, there issues between them of mistrust and tension. They butt heads about who's going to be the ruler of their army. They then decide there can only be one ruler. Of course, they're going to argue on who's going to be better. They don't worry about winning the fight or the consequences of getting defeated as much as who's in charge. Teamwork doesn't seem to be an option with them. · On the other hand, Brutus and Cassius are truly friends. They respect each other. They were able to work through their argument a lot better than Octavius and Antony. They don't worry about who's going to be the main ruler, but they worry about what will happen if they get defeated by Octavius and Antony. Teamwork between them seems prominent.

Nowhere. Marc Antony was a "general" only in the sense that he led an army. He only had one victory in his entire career and that was at Philippi in the defeat of Brutus and Cassius.
