CassiusBold= key quotation
1. Cassius has many strengths: He is persuasive, Shrewd, and a strong
military leader.
He is able to form and organise the conspirators in spite of the
difficult political climate of Rome.
Caesar himself says of Cassius in 1:2 that ‘he is a great

consequences of betrayal.

Caesar, thou art revenged even with the sword that killed
three’n .
