1. What does Caesar think of Cassius, and why? What does the conversation reveal about Caesar?
2. Cassius, unlike Brutus, knows exactly how he wants to handle Caesar. Cassius is determined to kill Caesar, but
he needs the noble and well-liked Brutus to join in the conspiracy. Why, do you think, does Cassius tell Brutus
these stories about Caesar?
3. Cassius's criticism of Caesar is based on envy and jealousy. Why would Cassius be jealous of Caesar? Do you
think envy and jealousy are generally constructive emotions, or generally destructive? Explain your views and,
if possible, give an example from your own experience or any other text.
