In the play, "Julius Caesar," Cassius is a Roman general who serves as a character foil to Brutus. He is manipulative as shown in act 1 scene 3 because he is forging letters to convince Brutus to be part of the conspiracy. He is also very observant as evidenced by Caesar when he states, "A great observer who looks quite through the deeds of men." (1:2) He poses as a threat to Caesar because he is planning to assassinate him. He shows jealousy because Caesar is seen as a god and he is so powerful.
