In Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", Cassius is cunning, mischievous, and selfish. He is also very observant and manipulative. He wants Caesar dead and considers nothing but his own greediness to have his goal met. He is a character that I cannot completely love or hate. I dislike him because of his intentions, not doing his job as a senator and considering the fate of Rome, and for turning Caesar's people against him. Yet I like him because he is very smart and knows just how to manipulate people into getting what he wants. My favorite part of Act 1 is how he was able to reel Brutus in on his conversation to go against Caesar by sugar coating it with things that would interest Brutus, such as his loyalty to Rome.
