Task 1: “And this man
Is now become a god, and Cassius is
A wretched creature and must bend his body,
If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.”

The quote explains how Cassius feels that Caesar should not be king because he doesn’t deserve it.

“I was born free as Caesar; so were you:
We both have fed as well, and we can both
Endure the winter’s cold as well as he:”

Here Cassius is implying that Caesar is no better than Brutus or himself because they were born and raised in the same way.

“Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world” 

In the quote Cassius feels that someone as “feeble” as Caesar hasn’t got what it takes to rule over a country like Rome.

“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.”

Cassius is explaining to Brutus about the way Caesar views Roman citizens, he stands tall above all and crushes anyone who dares to oppose him.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

The quote explains that Caesar is Emperor not because they were unlucky but because they decide not to change the situation, Cassius is trying to persuade Brutus to do something instead of just being a bystander.

Task 3:

Shakespeare conveys Cassius’ feelings by constantly comparing himself and Brutus to Caesar for example “Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that ‘Caesar’?
Why should that name be sounded more than yours?” He’s repeatedly questioning Caesar’s superiority by proving that he and Caesar are the same. This leads you to believe that Cassius deserves the role of emperor just as much as Caesar does.
