Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of julius caesar. [cassius.] cassius from bondage will deliver cassius. therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong; therein, ye gods, you tyrants do defeat. nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, can be retentive to the strength of spirit; but life, being weary of these worldly bars, never lacks power to dismiss itself. if i know this, know all the world besides, that part of tyranny that i do bear i can shake off at pleasure. [thunder still] casca. so can i. so every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity. how does cassius's proclamation affect casca? casca thinks that cassius is trying to become king. casca says that cassius is being disloyal to caesar. casca says that he will also fight caesar's rise to power. casca thinks that caesar will make a better ruler than cassius.
