Cassius

In, "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" Cassius, is Julius Caesar's foil. He is the Senator of the Roman Republic and is hungry for power. He wants to get the power away from Julius Caesar. He is very much against Caesar. Cassius is a very observant person, and throughout scene 1 acts 1 and 2, he's been trying to persuade others against Caesar as well. He has Brutus in the palm of his hand practically, bringing fear to him that Caesar has bad intentions. He manipulates him, saying that in reality Caesar is not a great god like people portray him to be. Eventually, he manages to assassinate him and his power is no longer there.
