Cassius' Cranium

"Ye gods, it doth amaze me. A man of such a feeble temper should so get the start of the majestic world and bear the palm alone."(Act 1, sc. 2, 127-130) While I do love and care for Caesar as much as the next man, Rome is bigger than you or I or this one man. "Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves." 

Brothers and sisters! Take a look at yourselves. Take a look around! Rome suffers because of one man. Rome is bigger than one man and needs to be treated as such. Do not be blinded by friendship for Caesar, Search your heart and open your eyes to the truth. Shall we do nothing but stand around and watch as he tears this land apart?

We cannot and will not tolerate this man who makes himself a god. As Caesar believes himself to be beyond the reach of any other human being; he can hardly still be called a man of the people. He has grown fat with wealth and sick with power. For too long I have watched this and done nothing. 

Now who is with me? Who will stand and fight for Rome? For freedom?

    I am with you Cassius and will rejoice when the rest of Rome rallies to our cause! We will only have to bide our time until their fickle hearts have changed their allegiance; just as they changed their allegiance from Pompey.

    I too support you Cassius! Caesar keeps the Roman people in servile fearfulness and must be stopped! Hail to you Cassius! My allegiance is with you!
    --Flavius
