3. Cassius wanted someone important to join in the conspiracies. He sent written letters for a month to convince him that Julius Caesar wasn't a good leader. Who was this person?

Answer: Brutus

Cassius knew that if he wrote fake letters from citizens, Brutus would more than likely believe that it was the right thing to do to stop Caesar from being king.

4. Who compared Caesar to a serpent's egg?

Answer: Brutus

Like a serpent's egg, Caesar would "hatch" and "grow mischievous." In other words, if Caesar was left alone and become king, he would grow into a tyrant. Brutus used this comparison to conclude that Caesar should be stopped from becoming the ruler of Rome.

Caesar was offered a crown three times, and Caesar refused the crown three times.
He did so to win the citizens over. He wanted to appear humble towards them.

9. Who didn't want Antony to speak of Caesar's death?

Answer: Cassius

Cassius knew that Antony would turn the Romans against the conspirators. Brutus made Antony promise not to blame them for Caesar's death, and so they let Antony speak to the citizens. However, Antony made the citizens angry at them.

10. In the play, who was the innocent bystander that got killed by the angry mob?

Answer: Cinna the poet
