Why might Brutus choose to tell Cassius the news about Portia after they have resolved their quarrel?
Brutus replies that he wishes he were worthy of such an honorable wife.although Brutus appears completely determined in his interactions with the conspirators, his inability to confess his thoughts to Portia signifies that he still harbors traces of doubt regarding the legitimacy of his plan.
Who said it Oh ye Gods render you worthy of this noble wife?
Brutus said that while talking to Portia in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; Act 2, Scene 1.
Why does Brutus disagrees by taking the oath?
Brutus believed that as a noble man, his word should be his oath. He considered himself and the other men to be honorable men, and their mission a worthy one. He felt that any who needed an oath to carry out the execution of Caesar shouldn't be amongst them.
What is the meaning of brutus's speech?
His own life!! see below :D (source-reading packet at school :P) Brutus sits with his few remaining men. He asks them to hold his sword so that he may run against it and kill himself. The Ghost of Caesar has appeared to him on the battlefield, he says, and he believes that the time has come for him to die. His men urge him to flee; he demurs, telling them to begin the retreat, and that he will catch up later. He then asks one of his men to stay behind and hold the sword so that he may yet die honorably. Impaling himself on the sword, Brutus declares that in killing himself he acts on motives twice as pure as those with which he killed Caesar, and that Caesar should consider himself avenged: "Caesar, now be still. / I killed not thee with half so good a will" (V.v.50--51). Antony enters with Octavius, Messala, Lucillius, and the rest of their army. Finding Brutus's body, Lucillius says that he is glad that his master was not captured alive. Octavius decides to take Brutus's men into his own service. Antony speaks over the body, stating that Brutus was the noblest Roman of all: while the other conspirators acted out of envy of Caesar's power, Brutus acted for what he believed was the common good. Brutus was a worthy citizen, a rare example of a real man. Octavius adds that they should bury him in the most honorable way and orders the body to be taken to his tent. The men depart to celebrate their victory. \ Hope it helped :D
How does Caesar feel about Cassius?
In the play written by Shakespeare, the character Cassius generally liked Caesar as a friend. However; when Caesar became a ruler of the Rome, Cassius felt that he was not worthy of leading such a big nation, due to his short sightedness and bad temper. Cassius believed that Brutus was a far suitable ruler for the Rome.
