The Comparison Of Cassius And Brutus
The Comparison of Cassius and Brutus
William Shakespeare wrote The Tragedy of Julius Caesar in 1599 (Bostock). The play is a tragedy. "A Shakespearean tragedy is a written work with a sad ending where the hero either dies or ends up mentally, emotionally, or spiritually devastated" (Rafiq 2017). Shakespeare uses two characters, Cassius and Brutus, to rally other senators to commit to killing Julius Caesar. Cassius and Brutus are respected as senators so others are willing to follow them. Although both characters want to see Caesar put to death, their motives are quite different. In this essay, I will attempt to explain their differences. The main similarity between them is that they both want Julius Caesar dead. They are also both senators
