Best Answer

Caius Cassius strove to kill Julius Caesar for his own good rather than the good of the Romans as he told Marcus Brutus. Overall he enjoyed the power that he had over the other conspirators and enjoyed gambling and several other activities. Like Brutus he had his way with words and used them for persuasion. Marcus Brutus strove to help Rome, the idea of killing Julius Caesar for a greater good being one of the only reasons for killing his dear friends.

To come up with a good character sketch, write out what you know of his:

Physical traits

Attitude

Significant Actions

Strengths

Weaknesses

Motivations

Aspirations/Hopes

Character Development (throughout the play - Beginning, Middle, End)

I suggest re-reading the play, and searching the internet to find some of these out. Every character sketch is different, so put your own spin on it and add more if you think it will help develop the piece.

Why would a reader consider Cassius to be Brutus' foil and what specific examples of the contrast in their character traits support your answer?

A foil is any character who appears on stage at the same time as another character and highlights some character trait by contrast. Cassius and Brutus are often on stage together. We find that Cassius is passionate and Brutus stoic when they have their discussion during the Lupercal. We find that Cassius is practical and Brutus is idealistic in their discussion of whether to kill Antony when they kill Caesar. We find that Cassius plays fast and loose with honesty while Brutus is rigidly honest in their argument in their camp.
