How has the friendship between Brutus and Cassius changed?  What caused that change and where do you think they will go from here?

  1. The friendship between brutus and cassius changed because,brutus has realized that the reasons for killing caesar weren't the same for either of them. Brutus wanted to kill caesar not because he didn't like him,but he wanted to save the people.And cassius just was jealous that caesar was more powerful than him.I think that brutus will not be friends with the d, but he will die a hero.

    Brutus and Cassius were best Friends. Though after the assassination of Julius Caesar they grew apart. Brutus started to figure out Cassius's true intentions for murdering Caesar. Also Brutus found out that Cassius was obtaining money through unjust ways. Brutus didn't like this and he grew rough with Cassius. Cassius also grew rough with Brutus because he didn't like the way he was obtaining his money. I think that they will grow farther apart as the upcoming war puts stress on them both. Also Cassius might become power hungry or too greedy and Brutus probably wouldn't like that and start being rough with Cassius again.

    The friendship between Brutus and Cassius is not good. It started out good and is going down hill from here. As soon as they got in the big arugement about Caesar, their views changed on one another. In my opinion, I think they will end up being friends again. I feel this way because somewhere down the road in the story, I think they will need each other for power and become friends again. That is my opinion on where there relationship will go, and also how their friendship has changed and why.

    The friendship between Brutus and Cassius has changed back and forth. Cassius and Brutus have shown different motivations in killing Caesar. They do argue with each other because they never agree with each other. The relationship between these two get very confusing because they both have trust issues. Brutus thinks that killing Caesar is a great idea and Cassius disagrees. Basically brutus over thought everything and ending up being wrong.

  5. Brutus and Cassius fight in act 4 scene 3 because it seems Brutus has lost trust in him. It even come's up that he thinks Cassius killed Caesar out of jealousy, not justice. That is why there relationship changed. Both have different idea's of what to do after they killed Caesar. The tension of the situation has put a strain on the ties between the two. I even remember someone saying that Brutus was better friends with Caesar than Cassius, he just killed him for the good of Rome. I think it will be hard for them to remain as close knowing this and both having different idea's.

  6. From the beginning of the story, you could tell that Brutus and Cassius were very good friends. As the time progressed, and Caesar was assasinated, you could see their friendship start to fade. When Brutus says to Cassius, "Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Are much condemned to have an itching palm, To sell and mart your offices for gold To undeservers.", you can tell that they are angry with eachother and their friendship is not as strong as it used to be.

  7. In the begining of the play brutus and cassius are good friends. But in act four brutus realizes cassius was really only in it for the money.Brutus said he heard people say cassius give undeserving men positions in exchange for gold. They also argue about their battle strategies. after all this brutus wins the arguement and they seem to be cool with eachother.i think this friendship will probably fall apart in the next act. - keith friel

  8. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius is very difficult the main reason why Cassius and Brutus fight was because that Brutus condemed Lucius Pella for taking bribes from the Sardinians but Brutus ignored the letters sent to him. They eventualy make up and become friends again.Sanderst50

  9. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius is very complicated. They were best friends but, Brutus now knows that they were not on the same page as of killing Caesar. Brutus killed him for the people and Cassius killed him because he was jealous over his power. Plus, Cassius was getting money in ways that Brutus was not okay with. Same for Cassius. I don’t think they will end up being friends again.

  10. Brutus and Cassius were the best of friends until the assassination of Caesar. They didn't get along after they killed him. Brutus figured out why Cassius really wanted Caesar dead, he also wanted money. He didn't think of Cassius the same way, and things got weird between them.I don't see Brutus and Caesar becoming friends anytime soon. I don't think their friendship will ever be the same as it was before. They think too differently, I feel like they can never agree about anything. Marina Parkinson

  11. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius has changed. It changed because Brutus ignored letters from Cassius, and Brutus also accused Cassius of Selling stuff for gold. Then they start to argue in front of there armies, but then they go into the tent so it doesn't look bad.I think that they will become civil with each other enough to work together to defeat Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus.

    Brutus and Cassius friendship is very questionable. They both have big egos and that causes them to fight sometimes. They also fight because I think there both paranoid. Both are out to be killed. Boh of them are on the run together. But they still stick together because they have to so that Antony and his triumparate don't kill them. They are two honorable men and I think thats why they get along like they do. But that might vhange because there fighting for there lives.

  13. It changed though pressure and fear of the opposing force.It will go to become stronger hopefully is better. They face a great power and they will do everything they can to get though.Even though Mark Anthony has the Roman army on his side, they have a hope that when this is all over they will make Rome a better place.That is what I hope will happen.

  14. From the start Cassius and Brutus loved each other. They were best friends. Act IV took a turn. Brutus finds Cassius writing for Lepidus Pella and the real reason for killing Caesar. This event unfolds all other truths and feelings. I hope they work everything out. They started together it would be nice to see them end together. Maybe they’ll put everything aside knowing that Octacius, Antony and Lepidus are after them.

  15. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius goes has gone through some subtle changes as the play goes on. At first, Brutus and Cassius were honest and loyal to each other. They trusted and admired each other and even consipired and commited the Caesar's assassination together. They thought they were like soul mates that could achieve goodness for the Romans. Whereas Brutus had no idea of Cassius's true intention, which was because of his jealousy, he wanted to get rid of Caesar. As Brutus found out that Cassius did not kill Caesar for the reason he did, he felt deceived and became angry. He then found out more, that Cassius took bribes and offered positions to underserving men in exchange for gold. He then changed his views on Cassius and felt like he could not trust him any more. At the same time, Cassius felt that Brutus never loved him as a friend and accused of him for things he never did. The greed of Caissus caused all these conflicts. Their friendship might end up torn apart since they both have different purposes. One wants power adn authority, the other wants the goodness for people.

  16. Brutus and Cassius were best friends. They were always honest and loyal to each other. After the murder of caesar they started to not trust one another. It all started when Cassius killed Caesar out of greed. In my opinion, there friendship will probably never be the same. They have doubted each other lately and I think they'll never have the same friendship.

  17. The relationship between Brutus and Caesar has changed a few times. They started off being really good friends, they both loved eachother as friends. Then all of it started to go downhill when Caesar when he was becoming the all mighty power. Brutus started to realize that he was going to abuse his power. Brutus killed the all mighty Caesar not because he didnt like him, it was because he was doing it for Rome. He was looking out for his city, and for everyone in it. Now that Caesar is dead there is no relationship between the two, but Caesar is gone. Out of that there is not worrying from Brutus

  18. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius seemed unbreakable at the beginning of the play. But as time went on Brutus started to find out Cassius's original plot. Cassius intended on murdering Caesar because of jealousy, as Brutus did it for the good of the people. Brutus then found out the Cassius was taking bribes and giving high ranking positions to men that didn't deserve them. Brutus then began to distrust Cassius. Cassius then accused Brutus of things that he did not do because he at the same time started to lose trust for Brutus. The small conflicts between the two tell me that their companionship will be broken off by the end of the story.

  19. The friendship between Cassius and Brutus has defiantly changed. At the beginning on of the story Brutus kinda of looked up to Cassius, seeing him has a loyal Roman only looking for whats right for his country as Brutus did. After the assassination of Caesar, Brutus found out Cassius's true motive. After that Brutus was already sketched out by Cassius, then he finds out he was taking bribes from people. He was totally against that. After yelling at each other they said that they loved each other again. Disregarding what they apologized to each other, i feel like that argument will always be in the back of their minds, never truly able to be the same again.

  20. Brutus and Cassius started out as best friends. As time went by, Brutus discovered that their intentions for killing Caesar were completely different. Brutus killed him to better the people and Cassius killed him strictly because of jealously. After the assassination, they grow apart, and Brutus finds out about Cassius taking bribes. They argue, make up and move on to strategize about handling Antony's army. I feel that even though they made up, their friendship wont be the same as it was before.

  23. I beleive that the relationship between Brutus and Cassius has become strained. There starting to argue over the smallest of things. For example Cassius get mad because Brutus didn't read one of his letters. From here on out there relaionship could either become stronger because they have settled there diffrences of it could become even worse. I would chose the later. The reason being because of them both being under the pressure of commanding an army.

  24. The friendship between Brutus and Casiuss has gone bad. They used to be friends but they got in a argument after Ceasar's death. Cassius yelled at Brutus for ignoring him. Then Brutus yelled back at Cassius calling him greedy. I think there friendship will just get worse from here. Even though they apollogized i still think there are hard feelings.

  25. Brutus and Cassius's freindship seemed like it wasnt going to change at the beging. Brutus saw Cassius as a loyal citizen that looked out for rome. Even though they still apologized to one another i still feel that there is still a little grude to be held.

    The friendship between Brutus and Cassius changed because at first, they seemed to be true friends. But, killing Caesar messed up them, causing diagreements. The biggest disagreement was when Cassius and Brutus fought when Cassius's friend was accused of bribery. This showed the worst of the two, and showed how they feel about eachother deep down. I think that at the end of act 4, they snap at eachother again, and it shows how they are starting to get annoyed at eachother, where before they generally agreed, and got along.

  27. Brutus and Cassius friendship has definitely changed. Brutus looked up to Cassius because Cassius had good reason to kill Caesar for the good of the people. But Brutus accused Cassius of giving away positions to undeserving men in exchange for gold. When Brutus called Cassius "Greedy", Cassius took it as an insult. They aruged over their plans for the war at Philippi. Brutus won the arguement. They have grown very apart because of all of this. -Kristian Mcniss period 3

  28. The friendship of Brutus and Cassius changed overall.Brutus himself has changed and are very different because,Brutus found the real reason why Cassius wanting to kill caesar. He also acusses Cassius for stealing money and he dosent trust him. At the rate that their going they will be defeated by the Second Triumative.

  29. The friendship between Brutus and Cassius changed. Their friendship changed because they have two different reasons for killing Caesar. Also Brutus accuses Cassius of stealing money and no Brutus doesn't trust him. They are still friends but now really great friends. They both are still on the same side but for different reasons. Brutus stabbed Caesar for the good of the people. Cassius stabbed Caesar because he was jealous of him.
