One of the most famous scenes in Julius Caesar is Act 3, Scene 2, a rhetorical clash during which the the fate of all of Rome hangs in the balance. It is during these moments that Brutus and Marc Antony showcase their rhetorical skills, turning the tides against the conspirators and ultimately culminating in their demises. This is when we, as readers, receive an opportunity to see both the good and the supposed “tyranny” of Caesar, in the form of Brutus’s and Antony’s well-crafted orations. More importantly, it symbolizes the fall of Brutus’s good reputation, and the rising in power of Octavius and Antony, who will later form the second triumvirate with Lepidus.

Brutus is a logical and noble

And Brutus is an honorable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambitious?

Lucilius, a faithful servant of Brutus, is captured by a solider of the army of Antony. Under the fake alias of Brutus, Antony is brought into his presence. However, Lucilius is devoted to never allowing any enemy to touch Brutus. Lucilius exclaims, “I dare assure thee that no enemy / Shall ever take alive the noble Brutus. / The gods defend him from so great a shame!”

In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Cassius is a foil to Marcus Brutus, for Brutus is consistently described as honorable and kind, contrasting the always clever and self-centered, Cassius. Cassius acts as a character who goes against the virtues and weaknesses of the main character. Brutus announces, “Why man, he doth bestride the narrow World like a Colossus, and we pretty men Walk under his huge legs and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves” (Shakespeare I. 2. 142-145). By appealing to Brutus' feeling of honor and loyalty to Rome, Cassius hopes to persuade him to join the conspiracy against Caesar.

Brutus fled his country where he eventually killed himself. While Brutus experiences an impactful turning point, Cassius ' actions and personality remain fairly constant within the negative traits. He represents gloominess from the beginning of the play; he is jealous, manipulative and pessimistic. “O coward that I am, to live so long to see my best friend ta 'en before my face.” (V.III.34-35).

Brutus, Cassius and Mark Antony were aware of the fact that if the plebeians sided with them, they would hold all the power. Yet the plebeians were still ignorant of this fact. Although, they were unable to recognize the potential in their ability to unify. The possibilities that their unification could portray were endless

Cassius manipulates Brutus to the point of making him feel as if there are several people wanting Brutus to do something about Caesar.
