In the first act of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar the characters Cassius and Brutus seem to be similar in an important way: They both dislike the idea of Julius Caesar becoming the Emperor of Rome. This is shown in a line that Cassius speaks from Act I Scene III “I know where I will wear this dagger then: Cassius from Bondage will deliver Cassius.” This quote explains that Cassius will kill himself if Caesar becomes Emperor of Rome. A similar sentiment is reflected in this quote from Brutus in Act I Scene II
“What means this shouting? I do fear the people choose Caesar for their king.” While Brutus does not bring up the possibility of suicide in this quote, it does present his feelings of resentment towards Caesar.
