What does Cassius say to brutus to gain trust?
Cassius tells Brutus that he should be ruler not Caesar. Cassius says that Brutus would make a better ruler than to be second to Caesar.
What does Cassius say about Caesar's strength compared to other mortals?
Cassius believes that Caesar is no better than any other mortal man in Rome. Cassius tells Brutus of two times in which he had to take care of/save Caesar. His stories prove how un-god like Caesar really is~VLB
How did Cassius persuade brutus to join the conspiracy?
Cassius manipulates Brutus into participating in the plot to kill Caesar by planting doubts in Brutus' mind about Caesar's intentions. He also flatters Brutus excessively and claims that the people would rather Brutus lead them than Caesar.
Who was the real hero of Julius Caesar?
Brutus, because his reasons for killing Caesar were much more noble than Cassius's.
Is Cassius ever visited by Caesar's ghost?
If so, we are not shown it. But Caesar and Brutus had a special relationship which makes the ghost's visit to Brutus make more sense than a visit to Cassius would.
What does I rather tell thee what is feared than what I fear for always I am Caesar mean?
The correct quotation is: "I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar." Caesar is talking to Mark Antony in Act 1 of Julius Caesar. He has just said "Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look; such men are dangerous." and he has been explaining why he thinks Cassius is dangerous. But, he is hasty to explain, it's not as though he, Caesar, is actually afraid of Cassius. Oh, no. He is only telling Antony why Cassius should be feared, not that he himself is afraid of him, for he is always Caesar, and, it is to be understood, Caesar is never afraid of anything.
Why does Cassius see Caesar's falling sickness as a sign of weakness?
After sarcastically comparing Caesar to the Colossus of Rhodes, showing how Caesar thinks himself superior to the senators, his epilepsy makes him seem less than an average senator, in Cassius' mind.
Did Cassius understand men better than Brutus?
Yes. Cassius was more cynical but also more realistic. Brutus had very high standards of morality which did not take into consideration the danger of those who were immoral. For example, Cassius presses to have Antony killed with Caesar, and Brutus says no, he doesn't want to kill more people than are needed and that he is sure that Antony will pose no problem after Caesar is dead. Cassius' estimation of Antony is correct, and if Brutus had listened to him they wouldn't have been lying around Philippi with swords in their chests. Of course, if Brutus understood people better he would have known that the Republic was never going to be re-established and there was no purpose in killing Caesar in the first place, except to replace him with another Caesar.
What traits does Caesar object to in Cassius?
doesnt like plays. rarely smiles not comfortable with people of a higher rank Caesar dislikes Cassius very much. He says that Cassius thinks too much and is therefore dangerous. Caesar is suspicious of him because he does not delight in things such as plays and music, and hardly ever smiles. He states that Cassius is to be feared, rather than outright saying he fears him.
How does brutus respond to Cassius attack on Caesar?
Brutus affirms that he would rather that Caesar not assume the position. Brutus adds that he loves Caesar but that he also loves honor, and that he loves honor even more than he fears death. He says he will consider Cassius's words.
What does Cassius conclude about brutus?
Caesar sees Cassius as a dangerous man. The reason why is because Caesar describes that men like Cassius are never comfortable while someone ranks up higher than them... That and he is skinny (this was discussed between only him and Antony, so you would have to read the play in order to understand it a bit, try Sparknotes)
What is Cassius's chief complaint about Caesar?
Cassius states that Caesar is no greater than he or Brutus (by birth), and is indeed a lesser man physically. So he feels it is wrong that he should be the one and only power in Rome, especially a Rome that was a Republic -- and therefore all Roman men share political equality (ideally). He also implies later that Caesar doesn't really like him and that upsets him: he isn't part of Caesar's inner circle.
