Julius Caesar is play written by William Shakespeare. The play is based on the roman general Julius Caesar. The play tells you about the death of Julius Caesar and how his friends betrayed him. The main conspirator in the whole scheme was Cassius. Cassius has very strong political and personal beliefs as well as motives behind all of decisions.
Cassius believe strongly in his personal and political standpoints. ”O you and I have heard our fathers say there was a Brutus once that would have brooked the eternal devil himself to keep his sate in Rome as easily as a king.” (Julius Caesar). Cassius was an extremely jealous man and one man her particular always jealous of was Julius. Cassius was also arguing you may as well have the devil be king if you are going to have a king at all. “Men are sometimes master of their own fate”. Cassius believes that you can control your own destiny and fate is not always in control of your life. Cassius uses this belief in being able to control your own destiny by applying it to the situation of the murder of Julius Caesar. These aspects that have been presented are some of Cassius political and personal and political beliefs.
Cassius did have motives behind all of his decisions. . ”O you and I have heard our fathers say there was a Brutus once that would have brooked the eternal devil himself to keep his sate in Rome as easily as a king.” (Julius Caesar). When Cassius made this statement he felt as though this is what his parents would have wanted. Cassius felt have a king in Rome as king because no man was pure hearted enough to have that position. “Cassius, A man of fierce disposition, and one that out of private malice, rather than love the public”. (Julius Caesar). Cassius felt that any man who was to become king would have his own personal agenda rather than do what is right for the community. Cassius felt Caesar was way too popular and that is not a good quality for a king. Cassius had motives as misguided misjudged and as ignorant as they were motives none the less.
Cassius had very strong political and personal beliefs. He had some very ill feelings toward Caesar. Cassius wanted to be king so bad that he even went to the lengths to kill to get there.
