Marcus Brutus

Marcus Antonius
Marcus Antonius, commonly referred to as Antony, is a character from “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, a play by William Shakespeare. He has a great contrast to most of the characters in the play, as he has an innocent mind and a livelier mood than the rest. He does not think too deep into things as the others do. Antony is what could be considered a close friend of Caesar’s, and could even be considered as his character foil. However, he is mainly a character foil to Brutus, who, not only is more intellectual and a deeper thinker than him, but is also much more reserved. Antony appears to be a character that is extremely naive and readily willing to trust anyone or anything. Even with his flaws, and large difference from the other characters in the play, he is well suited for lightening the mood a bit in such a dark and seriously themed play.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar is the main protagonist in the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar, in the time and setting of the play, was a General and won the popularity of the common people. Although sometimes he is seen as bossy and arrogant, in reality he is a very smart and perceptive man. We start see this when he becomes suspicious of Cassius and sees him as a dangerous man. Caesar also has the falling-sickness (epilepsy), which makes him appear weak.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar, in the play "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare is a general from the Roman army who had just returned to Rome from defeating Pompey. Caesar is a complex character in the sense that he is strong yet weak at the same time. He is claimed to be invincible because he has won many conquests and is very liked by the commoners. However, the argument that he is popular among the commoners is weak because they are very fickle. Caesar is very intelligent and observant because he can read Cassius and tell that he is dangerous. Caesar can be thought of as weak because he has epilepsy, which causes him to seizure and foam at the mouth. He is also deaf in one ear. This being said, Julius Caesar is intelligent and observant, and said to be strong or weak.

Marcus Brutus
In the tragic play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare, Marcus Brutus is a significant public figure in Rome and a general under Julius Caesar. He values honor and dignity, and carries himself with an air of wisdom - moreso than other characters - and thus, serves as a character foil for his counterpart, Cassius. He cares deeply for Caesar as a friend and companion but fears that such an ambitious dictator may not be the best for Rome as a whole. One of his flaws is that he allows himself to be too easily manipulated, especially when he feels honor and righteousness is at stake, which is evident when Cassius speaks with him and allows himself to consider turning against Caesar, who he would be loyal to.
- cassius -

Cassius is a character in the play "Julius Caesar", who happens to be Caesar's rival. He uses his manipulative and persuasion skills, for example, when he is talking to Brutus, on why Julius Caesar is not "immortal", as common people see Caesar to be. Cassius is able to word-out his persuasion to Brutus, by blending the subject of "honor" and the subject of Julius Caesar. He favored Pompey, the ruler before Julius, better than anybody else. Julius refused the crown, and bad signs, like lightning for example, were happening as Cassius was okay with that. Coincidentally, he really thinks the only way for Caesar not to become king is for Julius Caesar to die.

Cassius

Cassius, in the play "Julius Caesar," is a persuasive general who despises Julius Caesar and how powerful he is. From act one of the play, Cassius is portrayed as a manipulative person since he tried to persuade Brutus to feel the same way he does of Caesar. Not only does Cassius try to persuade Brutus, but it is evident that he also has ill intentions towards Caesar to try to rid him of his power. And according to Caesar himself, Cassius is a dangerous observer whom he does not want to have around due to his ambitious quality. Overall, Cassius is jealous of Caesar's power, which he believes he does not deserve, and is a character in the story who will obviously cause some trouble in order to be successful in his plans to make Rome, as he says, the best it can be for the citizens.
Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar is an ambitious and determined man, which shows through his defeat of Pompey. He is also arrogant, which shows when he ignores the soothsayer that comes and tries to warn him of the "ides of March". Caesar is clever in the fact that he knows how to distinguish those who are content with what they have and those that want more, an example being Cassius, who he claims to be dangerous. This also shows his caution and selfishness for power. Although he is powerful, he also has his weaknesses, such as having epilepsy and being deaf in one ear.
