The characters of Brutus and Cassius in Julius CaesarBrutus and Cassius? Of these two, which one is better suited to lead the assassination plot and lead the civil war? Brutus and Cassius are two very different characters. Brutus is a more dominant and noble character. He is honest, naive and sincere. Then there is Cassius who is a perceptive and very manipulative person. He is fearful, envious and a military strategist. Both perceive Antoine in a different way, this is where their personalities clash and their differences begin. Brutus is a good friend of Caesar, who believes very much in his principles. His principles somehow control his behavior. He is influenced by ideas rather than what others think. In the play Julius Caesar, Brutus becomes the most complex character and tragic hero of the play. Brutus is a very naive and trusting person when it comes to judging Antony, but he underestimates how dangerous Antony really is. (Act 2, scene 1, 178) Brutus' decisions had bad consequences. Allowing Antony to speak at the funeral and deciding to risk the battle of Philippi was one of his philosophical decisions with dire consequences. (Act 4, scene 3, 228) However, he thinks that it is not necessary to kill Antony because without Caesar, Brutus thinks that Antony is worthless. Brutus is a noble person and holds his country high. Even Cassius knows how noble and honorable Brutus is. When someone is willing to die for their country, “thou art noble.” (Act 1 scene 2, 320) Everyone, even Caesar, admires him and tries to be friends with him. But in the end, Brutus is tragic because he tries to be better than he can be and it brings him down. Cassius sees Caesar differently, he doesn't like the fact that Caesar has become divine in the eyes of the Romans. Cassius is a different man to different people, depending on whether he can be loving or ruthless, gentle or harsh, passionate or mean. Caesar's opinion of Cassius is: “There, Cassius has a lean and hungry look; he thinks too much: such men are dangerous. » (Act 1, scene 2, 194) Brutus's opinion is: "The last of all Romans, be well!" It is impossible that Rome will ever generate your like [equal to].
