Julius Caesar
Act I: Provide your opinion on Cassius at this point in the play. Do you think he has good intentions? Why or why not?
Cassius is nothing but trouble. He jumps to conclusions, and doesn't give Caesar a chance to prove himself as a person.
"So he is now in execution of any bold or noble enterprise, however he puts on this tardy form. This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, which gives men stomach to digest his words with better appetite." (line 94)
Cassius is trying to convince Brutus to help rise against and kill Caesar. Cassius is overreactive to Caesar's actions and in my opinion, he needs to chill.
Act II: If you had to give advice to Brutus to join the conspiracy, what would you tell him? Provide support from the story with your reasoning.
You should join the conspiracy because the future of Rome is headed on a downward spiral. Caesar is a good leader at first, until he gets his hands on power. The people trust him too much, they'll give him anything he wants, and tell him whatever he wants to hear, and he's not even a ruler yet.
"upon the word, accoutred as I was, I plunged in and bade him follow. So indeed he did." (line 104)
Cassuis saves him, and Caesar never acknoledges this account. This just shows how inconsiderate he is.
Act III: Analyze
Antony is very affectinve, he points out all of the good things and such.
