13. Cassius is obsessed with his own death. At which point does he NOT threaten to kill himself or ask someone else to kill him?

From Quiz Cassius

Answer: When the soothsayer tells Caesar to beware the Ides of March.

Cassius is the picture of a model citizen in the opening scene when Caesar is confronted by the soothsayer, but in the other three, his darker nature is sharply revealed. When he fears "prevention" from Popilius Lena, he tells Brutus he will "slay himself" should his fears have truth in them. In his charged argument with Brutus in Act 4 Scene 3, he asks Brutus to take forth his heart with his dagger. At Phillipi, he asks Pindarus, earnestly, to kill him, and Pindarus obliges. Thus Cassius leaves the play.

From Quiz "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" Quotes

Answer: Cassius

When Cassius tells this quote to Brutus, he was very angry at Caesar for being offered a crown. He was jealous of Caesar for being weak and yet still having people wanting him to be king. Cassius is saying that he and Caesar are equal, but Caesar has a few flaws that make him a bad choice for a king. This quote is an introduction to a short story that Cassius tells about Caesar's problems.

22. It was just not fair. My best friend, Rex, got the part of Caesar's friend who betrayed him and was rebuked by him before he dies. What part is Rex playing?

From Quiz "Julius Caesar": My School Play

Answer: Brutus

Brutus was a conflicted man. He believed the lies and exaggerations that Cassius told him about Caesar and decided that he must put the good of Rome before his friendship. Mark Antony at Brutus's funeral called him "the noblest Roman of them all" but was he? It does seem arrogant of Brutus to decide that he was the man who knew what was the most moral course to take, particulary as it involved his killing a friend. He desired to be be seen by the Roman populace as the man who saved Rome. The fact that he took a leading part in the conspiracy once he had decided to act indicates that his desire for power to be no different to Caesar's. I do hope that you don't think that I am overly critical of Brutus just because I didn't get the part.

23. Who was not part of the Second Triumvirate?

From Quiz The Second Half of the Play

Answer: Brutus

The Second Triumvirate, which began after the death of Julius Caesar, consisted of Octavius, Mark Antony, and Lepidus. Brutus was one of the conspirators who killed Caesar and would later, along with Cassius, fight a war against Octavius and Mark Antony.

24. Who spouted the following lines? "That I was constant Cimber should be banished, And constant do remain to keep him so."

From Quiz Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" Quotes

Answer: Caesar

Knowing of Caesar's vanity and his professed godhood, the conspirators, Brutus included, begged Caesar to recall Metellus Cimber out of banishment, knowing that Caesar would not grant the request. Even Brutus, much beloved by Caesar, knelt "bootless"(in vain) while the others moved in for the kill.

25. "Caesar, beware the ides of March." Who says this?

From Quiz Who Said It In "Julius Caesar"?

Answer: Soothsayer

While Caesar is in procession, he is warned by a soothsayer of danger to come on March 15th, the ides of March!

26. Who said, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings"?

From Quiz "Julius Caesar" Quotes

Answer: Cassius

Cassius says this to Brutus in Act 1 Scene 2. He means that it is not the stars that have determined our fate; we are inferiors through our own faults. He says this to tell Brutus that we create our own destiny, not stars.

27. How many conspirators are related to Marcus Brutus?

From Quiz The First Half of the Play

Answer: 2

Brutus is related to Cassius and Decius. Cassius is his brother-in-law, and Decius is his cousin.

28. According to Shakespeare, how many times is Caesar stabbed?

From Quiz Julius Caesar

Answer: 33 times

Caesar is killed in Act III by all the conspirators. He was stabbed by all of them multiple times. Although Octavius says there were 33 wounds, history is not clear - the more generally-accepted figure is 23. Still a lot of stabbing!

29. Who is the first conspirator to try and sway Brutus into the plan for killing Caesar?

From Quiz Julius Caesar

Answer: Cassius

Cassius starts talking to Brutus after Caesar is warned by the soothsayer to beware the Ides of March. Cassius talks about how much of a good and noble friend Brutus is to him, and tells Brutus that he is just like Caesar, a normal human being. He explains how Caesar is not a god or immortal in many ways with his stories.
