Cassius



Cassius is the main character presented in act 1. He is important because Shakepeare utilizes Cassius to set the play where the conspiracy begins. He is portrayed as a great observer, sly, and intelligent. Also he may be even more ambitious than Caesar in the way he is portrayed in act 1. Cassius uses convincing arguments to make others join his conspiracy against Caesar. In one of his monologues, he refers Caesar as a sick girl and a weak ruler in order to brainwash Brutus. Along with Shakespeare's use of natural disaster: storm, Cassius is seem to be a dangerous character in this play.
