In Shakespeare's play, Cassius is sounding Brutus out to see if he is sympathetic to the plot against Caesar.

How did brutus and Cassius die?

Both committed suicide after the battle(s) of Philippi. Cassius, upon seeing that he had been defeated in battle by Antony, asked his slave Pindarus to slay him. Brutus committed suicide not long after (the length of time depends on whether you are talking about actual history or the events of the shakespeare play) when his armies were similarly defeated.


How could Brutus be the tragic hero of Julius Caesar?

If the definition of a tragic hero is a character with a lot of lines who ends up dead at the end of the play, Brutus fits the bill. So for that matter does Cassius. It was not important for Shakespeare to have a tragic hero in every tragedy--that concept arose long after he stopped writing.


What is Julius Caesar monologue?

A monologue is a speech made by one person, either in the presence or absence of others. Julius Caesar is a play by William Shakespeare.

In Julius Caesar which character establishes the notion that Caesar is ambitious and that Caesar is too high and is a danger to free men?

Cassius did In their long conversation which forms the bulk of Act I Scene 2 Cassius attempts to convince Brutus that Caesar is a threat to the traditional values of the Roman Republic. Cassius' main argument is simply that Caesar is an ordinary man: I had as lief not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself. Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar sweats when he is ill, and that he does not swim as strongly as a younger man:- but the common people of Rome love him (and this is somehow dangerous): And this man Is now become a God, and Cassius is A wretched creature. None of the conspirators in the play have any substantial objection to Caesar, and Cassius is simply eaten up with envy. Caesar knows this, he says: Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much, such men are dangerous. But Caesar is too proud to act on his suspicions. This is his weakness.

How long did Cassius rule over Rome?

You should specify which Cassius you are referring to. This is a surname and there were several important people in Rome who were called Cassius. I guess you are referring to Gaius Cassius Longinus, one of the leaders of the conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar. He never ruled Rome. He was a senator. After the murder of Caesar he fled to the eastern part of the Roman Empire where he had the support of several provincial governors. He assembled an army and engaged Publius Cornelius Dolabella, a supporter of Caesar, at Laodicea (in Syria) and defeated him. He then moved westward and joined his fellow conspirator Brutus at Smyrna (in western turkey) to fight the forces of the Second Triumvirate (an alliance between the Caesarians Mark Antony, Octavian and Lepidus). He sacked the island of Rhodes, while Brutus sacked Lycia (in south-western Turkey). The two men then crossed into Greece where they were defeated at the Battle of Philippi. Cassius got one of his freedmen to kill him.


How long did the battle of Philippi last?

There were actually two battles Philippi in October 42 BCE - two weeks apart. The first was a draw, the second was the final win by Antonius and Octavianus over the murderers of Caesar - Cassius and Brutus. Each battle lasted a day.
