Q1 I agree because Cassius said to Brutus that if his name is said people think of power and wisdon just as they do with Caesers name. The action that agrees with this is after he killed Caesar the people wanted him to rule Rome.
I disagree because I feel Caesar was much more listened to then Brutus. The people were easily swayed by Brutus and even Anthony but Caesar was much more liked for a much more longer period of time then Brutus. People listening to Brutus is not a viable statement for this reason.
Throughout Rome, Brutus is thought to be a wise and noble person. Do you agree? Which of Brutus’ actions so far support your opinion?
Question 2
1. In Act II scene I, Brutus overrides the opinions of the other conspirators on a few occasions. Choose one of those occasions and decide if his choice is wise. Defend your decision.
Question 3
People close to Caesar have definite opinions about him. Brutus, while he loves Caesar, fears that he will be crowned king, On page 779, lines 74-75, Flavius asks, “Who else would soar above the view of man,[a]nd keep us all in servile fearfulness?” On page 783, lines 135-36, Cassius states, “Why man, he doth bestride the world [l]ike a Colossus…” Based on what we see of Caesar in Act II, are these opinions founded? What leads you to your opinion?
