Julius Caesar Lesson 4
In the 4th lesson of Julius Caesar, we mainly discussed the views of Caesar and Anthony about Cassius. The main question was, "Was Caesar right about his views of Cassius?" Caesar knew that Cassius was dangerous and that he should be wary of him, yet he was overly confident and didn't take any action against Cassius. This complacent and arrogant attitude of Caesar's was one of the main causes of his death.
"But, look you, Cassius,
The angry spot doth glow on Caesar's brow,
And all the rest look like a chidden train:
Calpurnia's cheek is pale; and Cicero
Looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes
As we have seen him in the Capitol,
Being cross'd in conference by some senators."
- General mood is sombre
- Something has happened which wasn't happy
"Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous"
- Caesar is implying that Cassius is hungry for power and envies those who are of a higher position and power than him
"Fear him not, Caesar; he's not dangerous;
He is a noble Roman and well given."
- Anthony believes that Cassius is a nobleman and will do no harm to Caesar
"He is a great observer, and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays,"
- Caesar is implying that Cassius is a man of good judgement and is able to judge people well
"he hears no music"
- Caesar is saying that Cassius is uncivilised
