Marc Antony

Marc Antony was a loyal noble to Julius Ceasar. He was very outgoing and open. He ran naked and that show how confident he is. Antony is a naive man who only sees what nothing short from obvious. When it comes to Julius Ceasar he is very supportive and tells Ceasar everything that he wants to hear. He is a striking handsome young man who Ceasar is relying on to help him and his wife in bearing children. Antony is trustworthy and a good guy.

Cassius



In Act 1 we see that much of Cassius and his type of character. He is an ambitious determined person. We know this through his persistant tries to persuade Brutus into thinking getting rid of Caesar is best. He even changes the minds of 2 other noblemen. This also makes him untrustworthy for turning his back on the ruler of Rome. He is superstitious for believing that the thuderstorm is some sort of sign. He seems a bit jealous of Caesar, and thinks that Caesar should not be crowned ruler, comparing him to a girl and noting time when Caear needed help when drowning. All in all, Cassius is an ambitious, jealous, and peruading character.

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.

Marcus Brutus


Marcus Brutus is introduced as a noble, honorable Roman citizen. His character is not quite developed yet in Act I but he is portrayed as a man who truly cares about the good of Rome. As a character foil for Antony, he is not as carefree and he keeps his thoughts to himself. His judgement towards Julius Caesar's growing power has been conflicting because even though he is a close friend of Caesar's, his concern for Rome's future leads him to question Caesar's nobility. He is a very intelligent man because no matter how much Cassius tries to manipulate him, he is not easily swayed by others' opinion.

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 Antonius



Marcus Antonious, better known as Marc Antony, in the play by William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar", is shown to be Caesar's right-hand man as well as Brutus' character foil. We know this because at the begining of Scene 2, Antony replies to a request man by Caesar, saying " I shall remember: When Caesar says "Do this", it is preformed", this shows Antony is loyal to Caesar. And we know he is the character foil to Brutus when he says " I am not gamesome: I lack some part Of that quick spirit that is Antony". But Antony is also very naive, when Caesar voices his concern of Cassius, Antony tells Caesar not to worry that Cassius is a honorable man of Rome.

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

In the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", Cassius is a general who abhors the power and admiration of Caesar. His jealousy and ambition to drive out of his power is what brings thrills and an evil twist in the story. In Act 1 he is portrayed as an observant and persuasive man that Julius finds dangerous and hungers for power. He tries to manipulate Brutus during a conversation and says that Caesar is not worthy enough for being seen as a god and does not deserve power. Throughout the play he seems to have his mindset on doing what ever it takes for Caesar to fall.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar. The general of Rome about to be crowned king.  He is obviously very intelligent and strategic to get to the position he is at, but his new found power sparks jealousy in his political peers.  Cassius accuses him of being weak and unworthy of ruling Rome.  Caesar's arrogance forces him to refuse to admit that he is intimidated by the threat, but he is sure to avoid his antagonist as much as possible.  On the contrary, Caesar is considered "weak" due to his condition of epilepsy and deafness in one ear. We can see his superstitious side when he commands Marc Antony to run naked in the festive races and touch his wife, Calphurnia, to make her fertile.  Even though he is superstitious, his arrogance overcomes this trait when he ignores the fortune teller that predicts Caesar's assassination.

Cassius

Julis Caesar Character Analysis

        Julius Caesar is a Roman general who posses the the traits of being suspicious and smart even though he has a condition of falling sickness which is also known as epilepsy. One example of him being suspicious is when he knew not to trust people such as Cassius because he poses a threat to his authority. This is ironic since Cassius interprets the natural disasters as a sign to do something about Julius Caesars overwhelming fame and authority. In addition, in Act 1 scene 2 line 193 he said, "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look" This shows that he would rather have fat people to serve the position of his officials rather than have skinny people that are hungry for power so he will not be overthrown or assassinated.

Cassius



Cassius is a general under Julius Caesar and despises the fact that commoners love him and think of him as a god. In the beginning, he tries persuading Brutus a man under Julius as well and begins persuading him of how he is the same as them and begins manipulating him by using the safety of Rome and how it is supposed to be free and not under one ruler. Overall his intentions build up to getting rid of Julius Caesar.

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.
