Cassius - Jocelyn Ramirez


In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Cassius is one of the most fascinating characters. He's persuasive, he can trick and make people do things his way. He is the senator of Rome and he is married to Brutus sister. He is determined to assassinate Caesar and persuade Brutus to help him plot his death. He is an incredible character who creates suspense and thrill throughout the play. I have never imagined Shakespeare could be so thrilling to read.

Cassius - Adrian Ruano

In the play, "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar," by William Shakespeare, Cassius is a senator of the Roman Republic and is very observant of his surroundings. Cassius despises the fact of Julius Caesar becoming too powerful and desires to manipulate anyone into believing that Julius isn't a good leader for Rome. He convinces Brutus, a close friend of Caesar's, into thinking that if he doesn't like him as a leader for Rome, then he should do something about it. Although Brutus isn't entirely convinced, Casca is easily persuaded with superstition. Cassius is developing a plan along the way and knows what he has to do in order for his decietful tactics to work.

Cassius-Kayla Voas

Cassius is a talented general and longtime acquaintance of Caesar. Cassius dislikes the fact that Caesar has become godlike in the eyes of Romans. Cassius is also very observant and focuses a lot on the main events going on in Rome. Cassius is the character foil of Brutus, a character that is noble to Caesar. Cassius is also very manipulative because he is trying to convince Brutus to be part of the conspiracy.
