My English class has been working on the play, Julius Caesar, for the past several weeks. To close out our study of the play, everyone in the class had to do some sort of presentation project. I chose to do a monologue from Julius Caesar. In my monologue, Cassius is speaking; he is plotting against Caesar. He is trying to trick Brutus into joining him in his conspiracies against Caesar. My monologue shows that Cassius is a bit of a villain, and that he puts great thought into plotting against Caesar. My monologue comes from Act 1, Scene 1. It reads:
"Well, Brutus, thou art noble. Yet I see
Thy honorable mettle may be wrought
From that it is disposed. Therefore it is meet
That noble minds keep ever with their likes;
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
Caesar doth bear me hard, but he loves Brutus.
If I were Brutus now, and he were Cassius,
He should not humor me. I will this night
In several hands in at his windows throw,
As if they came from several citizens,
Writings, all tending to the great opinion
That Rome holds of his name, wherein obscurely
Caesar's ambition shall be glanced at."
