What best describes Cassius?

In "Juilius Caesar," Caesar himself describes Cassius as "lean and hungry," a man who thinks too much and is "dangerous" (I, ii, 193-195). Cassius is these things and more. He is envious of Caesar, speaking of him as a Colossus. Cassius is manipulative of Brutus, telling him I have not from your eyes that gentleness/And show of love as I was wont to have (I,ii,32-33) In his manipulations, he is fauning before Brutus, flattering him in order to further sway him to think as he does. Cassius, then, is suggestive,telling Brutus that they groan "underneath this age's yoke" (I,ii,61). He is seductive in his language to Brutus, telling him I, your glass/Will modestly discover to yourself/That of yourself which you yet know not of. (I,ii,68-70) Certainly, Cassius is deceptive and dishonorable because he deceives Brutus by playing to Brutus's own sense of honor: I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,/As well as I do know your outward favor./Well, honor is the subject of my story...(I,ii,90-93) In truth, honor is not the subject of his story. He leads Brutus to believe that he has the same noble principles as Brutus when it is power that Cassius desires, not the good of Rome, as Brutus wants. Clearly, Cassius is shrewd as he knows how to sway his brother-in-law, Brutus. Later in the play, Cassius is quarrelsome with Brutus, but does he defer to Brutus, who is well-respected, thus again showing shredness.

What is an example of Hyperbole in Julius Caesar?

An example of hyperbole in Julius Caesar is in Act 3, Scene 2, when Mark Antony delivers his famous funeral oration for Caesar. Antony exaggerates Caesar's virtues and the extent of his betrayal by the conspirators, using hyperbolic language to incite the crowd's emotions and turn them against Brutus and the other assassins. This rhetorical device is used to emphasize the magnitude of Caesar's greatness and the injustice of his murder, effectively swaying public opinion in Antony's favor.

Why is there a meeting held at Brutus house and who attends it?

The men need Brutus to join their conspiracy. Brutus' name hold much weight and favor with the people in Rome. The men approach Brutus' house to see if he will join them, and if so, how the plan to assassinate Caesar will happen. When Brutus agrees to be a part of the plan, he immediately becomes the leader of the group, a position that may have come naturally to him, since he is their host at the time. They decide that Cicero will be left out of their plan (at Brutus' recommendation) and that Mark Antony not be touched (another recommendation of Brutus). Decius also volunteers to flatter Caesar to make sure he comes to the Capitol the next day.

Which form does mark athony's speech use?

Antony cleverly employs persuasive language to sway the public opinion in his favor and incite them to seek revenge against Caesar's murderers.
