· ** discuss your impressions of Cassius’ character. **  · ** His attitude towards Caesar ** · ** His use of persuasive language ** ** Cassius: 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. ** ** Men at some time are masters of their fates: ** ** The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, ** ** But in ourselves, that we are underlings. ** ** Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that’Caesar’? ** **  Why should that name be sounded more than yours ? ** **  Write them together, yours is as fair a name; ** ** Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well; ** ** Weigh them, it is as heavy; conjure with ‘em, ** ** ‘Brutus’ will start a spirit as soon as ‘Caesar’. ** ** Now in the names of all the gods at once, ** ** Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, ** ** That he has grown so great? Age, thou art shamed! ** ** Rome thou hast lost the b reed of noble b loods. ** ** When went there b y an age since the great flood  ** ** But it was famed with more than with one man ? ** ** When could they say, till now, that talked of Rome, ** ** That her wide walks encompassed but one man ? ** ** Now is it Rome indeed, and room enough, ** ** When there is in it but one only man. ** ** O. you and I have heard our fathers say, ** ** There was a Brutus once that would have brooked ** ** Th’ eternal devil to keep his state in Rome ** ** As easily as a king. ** ** 2. **  ** 3. ** || ** 2. **  ** 3. **  ** 4. ** ||
