How Does Brutus Use Ethos In Julius Caesar

This quote is Cassius talking to Brutus about how they are like Caesar's slave. Brutus shows his gullibility because they are both really powerful senators, they aren't like Caesar's slave. But Cassius is trying to get Brutus in the mindset that they are and he believes him. Right after Caesar’s death Brutus gave a speech to the people about what he did was good not a bad thing. Right after he says this he leaves so Antony can speak to the people.

One of Cassius’s idiosyncrasies is devious. During Cassius’s soliloquy in Act one Scene two, Cassius starts talking about how he is going to convince Brutus to help him. He says “ I will this night, in several hands, in at his windows throw, as if they came from several citizens, writing, all tending to the great opinion that Rome holds of his name.”. What he is saying is that he will forge writings to make them look like other people’s writings and then give them to Brutus to make him notice that Rome thinks he is better than Caesar. He expects this will then lead to Brutus helping Cassius.

“Brutus and Caesar—what should be in that “Caesar”? Why should that name be sounded more than yours?” Cassius persuades him into thinking with his more patriotic side. He also brings up a good point: Caesar can be indesive and fickle with his actions. Ultimutely his heart was

“Because such a man caesar fears will let nothing interfere with his ambition”, whilst lacking personal honor in such a manner that shows him to be a ruthless schemer. seeming in disbelief cassius cannot accept caesar 's rise to power and forces himself to the belief that it is fate to be no more than a form of cowardice, and begins to urge for a more fitting or noble temperament towards life in turn by blaming his and brutus’ submissive frame of mind by implying lack of assertiveness and failure of

In these scenes Julius Caesar, Cassius is a deceiving man. Throughout the play, Cassius is constantly trying to turn people against Caesar. Cassius uses his power to manipulate others around him. Cassius says, describing Brutus in a highly matter, “Well, Brutus, thou

Although Cassius’ plan to assassinate Caesar is just underway, this quote exemplifies how Cassius is trying to get under Brutus’ skin by telling him that he is not fit to rule. Granting Brutus and Cassius’ friendship gets off to a rocky start, by act 2, Brutus

Brutus demonstrates loyalty to Rome which makes him vulnerable to being manipulated. Cassius convinces Brutus to join the conspiracy by proclaiming, “‘Brutus’ and ‘Caesar.’ What should be in that ‘Caesar’? / Why should that name be sounded more than yours?

Brutus was a great and close friend of Julius Caesar, but Cassius took advantage of Brutus because he was jealous of Julius. Brutus was a patriot and just wanted to do the right thing for Rome and make sure Julius was not going to become king. Brutus was a truthful man and wanted to know what the people thought about Julius. So Cassius tried to bribe Brutus with fake letters from the people, and decided he would team with the other senators and kill Julius Caesar for the good of Rome. For example, in his speech at Julius 's funeral he said "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more."

Caesar doesn’t trust Cassius very much because he sees him as a danger to people. In fact, he said that Cassius should be feared by nearly everyone, but doesn’t fear him himself. In conclusion, Caesar doesn’t like Cassius because he can’t trust him as being as loyal as the people he surrounds himself with. However, Caesar likes Brutus because they are close friends. When Cassius asked Brutus if he didn’t want Caesar to be king, Brutus replied, “I would not Cassius.

In Act I, Scene II, Cassius successfully influences Brutus to oppose Caesar's rule through the use of different word devices such as figurative language, imagery, and repetition. Cassius’s ability to manipulate words through figurative language is what played the largest role in radicalizing Brutus’s views on Caesar becoming king. As soon as cassius begins to speak, he uses figurative language to stroke Brutus’s ego. By using figurative language, it seems that Caesar’s rise in power means Brutus and Cassius will become “petty men”: “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world/Like a Colossus, and we petty men/Walk under his huge legs” (135-137). This shows that in the sense of the Colossus, Brutus and Cassius will be stuck riding between the legs of the might

To demonstrate his point, Cassius elaborates about how “[He] was born free as Caesar; so were you/ we both have fed as well, and we can both/ endure the winter’s cold as well as he” (1,2,97-99). Cassius gives these examples to show Brutus that Caesar doesn’t have any special traits that make him better than them, and proceeds to build upon this point by highlighting Caesars faults. Specifically, how Caesar grew up in the same circumstances as them, but acts without thinking and is overdramatic. This is shown when Caesar challenges Cassius to a swim, but does not judge the distance correctly, and begged “Help me, Cassius, or I sink” (1,2,111).

In the first act, Cassius sweet-talks Brutus to in order to convince him to consider that Caesar thinks of himself as above everyone. Cassius also writes letters as if they are worried citizens of Rome asking Brutus to fight against Caesar. This pushes Brutus over the edge and convinces him that killing Caesar is the only way to stop his rise. Even though some manipulation by Cassius was used; Brutus already had worries about Caesar before talking with

Cassius is the co-hero of the play. Cassius, in fact, is a lot of flaming jealousy consuming him to destroy Caesar. The reason for his hatred is simply jealousy. Brutus is also disturbed by Caesar's growing ambition and is ready for Cassius's hints. (O’Dair,1993:6).

First of all the author draws out the situation between Cassius and Brutus when Cassius is convincing him to join the conspiracy.he is taking advantage of Brutus' fatal flaw which is him being of a gullible nature. In short Cassius is using his gift of tergiversation to confuse Brutus into joining the conspiracy. His other manipulation is demonstrated when he says, "I am glad that my weak words have struck but thus much show of fire from Brutus" (Shakespeare 1. 2. 185-187).

Cassius is adamant on getting Brutus on his side which seems to be the beginning of their problems. Cassius orders fake letters to be presented to Brutus yo convince him that the people
