O, he sits high in all the people’s hearts, And that which would appear offense in us,
His countenance, like richest alchemy
Will change to virtue and to worthiness

Who speaks these lines? And whom is this said? What does it mean? (3 sentences)

These lines are spoken by Casca.

The lines are about Brutus.

The lines mean that whatever bad plans that Cassius and Casca had planned can be turned to their advantage by Brutus in front of the people. Even though the people will get mad and angry after the death of Caesar, Brutus can turn them to their side, like an alchemist can turn anything into gold.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of how Julius Caesar was murdered by his trusted aides. Moreover, the future of Rome was left at the hands of numerous 'hopefuls' like Cassius and Brutus and Antony and Octavius on the other, fighting to get the power to rule over Rome.

The given lines are taken from Act I scene iii of the play, spoken by Casca. The lines refer to Brutus, who, according to Casca, is capable of turning the people's hatred into love, acceptable even if it is the worse of all things.

Cassius and Casca were planning to get rid of Caesar and wanted to rope in Brutus, which Cassius reveals "Three parts of him Is ours already". And the things that they planned, however brutal it may be, can be turned around in the people's mindsets by Brutus alone. Like Casca states,

"that which would appear offense in us,

His countenance, like richest alchemy

Will change to virtue and to worthiness".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
