How does Cassius plan to put extra pressure on Brutus at the end of act 1?
He plans to write letters to Brutus that are supposed to be from real people. The letters are supposed to say things such as how the people secretly want Brutus to be the emperor of Rome, and not Caesar.
How does Anthony show the crowd that Brutus is not trustworthy?
Actually, Brutus is a much more trustworthy person than Antony, as their behaviour throughout the play shows. But Antony wants, for his own personal purposes, to discredit Brutus. He does this with sarcasm, calling Brutus an "honourable man" in sarcastic fashion. And he alludes to the fact that Brutus and Caesar were great friends: "Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel". Brutus has already given his explanation of this in saying it was not that he loved Caesar less but that he loved Rome more, and Antony is trying to break this down by getting the crowd into a state of unthinking emotional reaction. This is always a good way to get crowds to do insane things, especially in a Shakespeare play, but also in real life.
Why does Cassius believe that Brutus should be a part of the plot against Caesar?
Cassius wants Brutus to join in a conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar. He tells Brutus stories of Caesar to poison his mind and make Brutus believe that Caesar wants to set himself up as a tyrant.
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.
Why is Anthony's funeral oration better than Brutus's funeral oration?
Antony was appealing to the emotions of the mob; Brutus was appealing to their intelligence. Antony knew that the kind of rabble-rousing he had in mind would be effective in making them do crazy things (like killing Cinna the poet), and allowing him to eventually become dictator. Politically, it works; it succeeded in doing all that Antony wanted. But does that make it better? Brutus's argument was more intellectually satisfying, more grounded in morality and good governance. It was less effective but more right.

How did Brutus feel about Caesar being crowned king?
I believe that Brutus was a little ticked off in way, because even though Caesar was powerful, he was physically weak, and had many others things gone wrong with him, such as epilepsy for instance. You can see if this is true or not in Act I i believe, if not Act II, but Brutus talks about how he had to get him from the Tiber river, and how Caesar had a seizure, and was shaking on the ground and such, and the foam was coming out of Caesar's mouth and everything, he was screaming for Brutus's help. And Brutus of course went and helped him out.
