My Thoughts
I think this quote is important because
Brutus is saying that he values honor
more than death.
I think that this quote is important
because Cassius is showing how he is
jealous of Caesar and he believes that
he should be in Caesar's place. This
quote could be foreshadowing
something that Cassius might do to
make his opinion come true.
I think this quote is important because
Cassius is going to try and manipulate
Brutus and make him believe that he is
better than Caesar, and that Caesar
does not deserve to be the emperor.

I think this quote is important because

Casca is talking about omens having a
particular purpose and
superstition/omens were very popular
during this time period.

I think this quote is important because

Cassius and Casca are both going to try
and get Brutus on their side to prove to
him that Caesar should not have the

My Thoughts
I think this quote is important because
Brutus thinks that the death of Caesar
is for everyone, and he has no personal
reason to kill him. This quote shows
that Brutus does not just think of
himself, he mainly thinks of others.
I think this quote is important because

crowned, then he will have the power to
harm people whenever he wished.

Caesar before he gets crowned and
becomes too dangerous.

Brutus is saying if the plans are so weak
that you have to swear an oath then the
plans should be cancelled.

it is showing that Caesar does not
respect or listen to his wife; he does
whatever he feels like doing. This shows
what type of person Caesar is. He is the
opposite of Brutus because he only
cares about himself, and not for others.

to people who do not need to know
about it and then their plan will have to
be cancelled.

it tells that Trebonius is doing his part of
the plan, and that is to take Antony
away. This quote shows that Trebonius
will stick to his word; if he says he is
going to do something, then he will do
it.
I think this quote is important because
Caesar is shocked at Brutus' betrayal.
He says that he should die since
everybody betrayed him, including his
"friend," Brutus. This quote is also
important because these were Caesar's
last words before he died.

it shows that Antony was a great friend
to Caesar because if he is going to be
killed, he wants to be killed next to
Caesar.

turn against the conspirators. His words
eventually convince them to riot. This
quote is also important because it
shows that Antony is not happy with the
fact that the conspirators killed Caesar
and that Antony wants revenge, which
he will get.
