Context questions (Answers)
Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow:
Question 1
CASSIUS -Now know you, Casca, I have moved already
Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans
To undergo with me an enterprise
Of honourable – dangerous consequence ;
1. Casca reassures Cassius that he can be trusted by narrating his weird and foreboding experiences during a terrible storm. He tells Cassius about strange incidents he witnessed, such as a lion wandering the streets, an owl hooting in the middle of the day, and persons on fire. Casca portrays himself as a loyal and observant ally by relaying these weird omens, hinting that he is sensitive to supernatural signs and can be trusted in the conspiracy against Caesar.
2. When the conspirators, including Casca, gather to assassinate Caesar, he keeps his word. By stabbing Caesar, he actively engages in the murder, displaying his dedication to the scheme and establishing his reliability to the other conspirators, particularly Cassius.
3. Cassius refers to Brutus as one of the “noblest-minded Romans.” Cassius feels that Brutus is a man of great integrity and honour, and that he may be convinced to join the conspiracy against Caesar because of his love for Rome. Cassius sees Brutus as an important character whose cooperation would add validity to the conspiracy.
4. The “enterprise” refers to the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar. It is seen as “honourable” since the conspirators feel they are acting to keep Caesar from becoming a tyrant and to protect the Roman Republic. It is “dangerous” in the long run, however, because the assassination of a great and popular leader like Caesar may produce chaos and civil war in Rome. The conspirators are aware of the risks and serious repercussions of their conduct, making it both an honourable and dangerous venture.

Question 2
Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man
Most like this dreadful night,
That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars
As doth the lion in the Capitol,
1. The speaker is Casscius. He is hinting at Julius Caesar, who is the man in question. Cassius is discussing Caesar’s rise to power and the impact it has had on Rome.
2. Cassius blames the Romans for their submissive attitude, claiming that their weakness and lack of resolution allowed Caesar to rise to power. He argues that in the face of Caesar’s aspirations, the Romans have grown too complacent and submissive.
3. Cassius compares the Romans’ current plight with their former self, when they were powerful and independent. He recalls a period when the Romans were daring and courageous in their pursuit of independence. He contrasts this with their current subservience to Caesar.
4. Cassius is referring to Julius Caesar, who has grown “prodigious” and “fearful” like the unusual outbursts. He means Caesar has grown exceedingly strong and threatening, similar to the unusual and terrible natural happenings recounted by Casca, such as the severe storm and weird occurrences.
5. Cassius uses the storm to persuade Casca that the gods are dissatisfied with Caesar’s expanding authority. He claims that the storm is a sign of divine wrath and convinces Casca to join the conspiracy against Caesar. Casca eventually agrees to be a part of the assassination plot, offering his support and involvement in the attempt to depose Caesar.

Question 3
CASSIUS – I know where I will wear this dagger then; Cassius
from bondage will deliver Cassius;
Therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong; Therein, ye
gods, you tyrants do defeat:
1. Cassius conveys his concerns to Casca, indicating that he would sooner die by his own hand than live under Julius Caesar’s tyranny. He is terrified that Caesar’s rising authority would lead to the slavery and subjection of the Roman people, and the prospect makes him think of killing himself.
2. In this phrase Cassius emphasises his intention to break free from the symbolic “bondage” of Caesar’s tyranny. He is claiming that he, Cassius, will take action to free himself from Caesar’s oppression and control. It displays his intense yearning for personal independence as well as his determination to oppose Caesar’s rule.
3. Cassius thinks that the gods have interfered in human affairs in order to strengthen the vulnerable and fight dictators like as Caesar. He sees Caesar’s ascent to power as a result of divine intervention in favour of the Romans who are weaker. Cassius views the storm and other unusual events as evidence that the gods are dissatisfied with Caesar’s rising power and may eventually assist in undermining his aspirations.
4. Cassius tells the narrative of how he and Brutus met Caesar in a weakened state during a swimming race across the Tiber River earlier in Act 1, Scene 3. Cassius claims he had to save Caesar from drowning, implying that Caesar is not as strong as he looks. This anecdote boosts Casca’s bravery and convinces him that Caesar is a mortal man who can be defeated rather than a god-like figure.
5. Cassius shows himself as a loyal Republican and a lover of freedom by expressing his profound concern for the survival of the Roman Republic and preventing of Caesar’s tyranny. He claims that he is prepared to take action and danger in order to protect the Roman people from oppression and to uphold republican values. Cassius positions himself as a patriot who loves Rome’s former independence and self-government, contrasting it with the impending tyranny under Caesar’s authority.

Question 4
CASSIUS: And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf,
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep:
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds
1. Cassius discreetly hints in this dialogue that Caesar’s ascent to power as a potential tyrant is the fault of the Romans themselves. He indicates that the Romans permitted Caesar’s authority to develop by overly supporting and honouring him, making him arrogant and ambitious. Cassius believes that the Roman citizens are to blame for this scenario because they applaud Caesar’s victories without questioning his intentions, allowing him to amass an excessive amount of authority.
2. Cassius attempts to expose the Romans’ weaknesses by demonstrating how readily they are influenced by public spectacle and Caesar’s magnetism. He emphasises their unconditional devotion by mentioning how they clapped for Caesar even when he had a fever. Cassius’ goal is to diminish Caesar’s grandeur by portraying the Romans as fickle and easily misled.
3. Cassius plays on Casca’s emotions by telling him how Caesar was offered the throne three times and turned it down each time. According to Cassius, Caesar’s rejection was a deliberate move to manipulate the Roman people’s emotions and earn their favour. He hints that Caesar is not as noble as he looks, and that joining the conspiracy is a means for Rome to be protected from tyranny. Cassius manipulates Casca’s emotions to make him believe that joining the conspiracy is a patriotic obligation.
4. Casca expresses his willingness to join the conspiracy against Caesar, assuring Cassius of his support. He accepts Cassius’ arguments and shows concern about Caesar’s rising authority and arrogance. Casca’s decision to join the conspiracy demonstrates his dedication to the cause.
5. Cassius gives Casca hope by telling him that there are other influential Romans who share their fears about Caesar’s ascension and are willing to join the conspiracy. He tells that brave and valiant Romans await them in Pompey’s porch. Among these are Brutus and other senators who would play significant roles in the plan against Caesar. The introduction of these powerful supporters is intended to increase Casca’s confidence and devotion to the scheme.
Cassius skilfully utilises persuasion, emotional manipulation, and the promise of powerful supporters in this scene to entice Casca to join the conspiracy against Caesar.

Question 5
CASSIUS-Am I not stay’d for? tell me.
CINNA – Yes, you are. O Cassius, if you could
But win the noble Brutus to our party
1. Cassius presents Cinna with a counterfeit letter following the excerpt. Cinna has been tasked with delivering this letter to Brutus. The letter comprises messages and reasons intended to encourage Brutus to join the plot against Caesar. Cassius feels that Brutus, a well-known and respected man in Rome, will provide credibility to their cause and boost their prospects of victory.
2. Cinna is told to wait by Caesar’s monument after delivering the letter to Brutus. Cassius is convinced that Brutus will join the plot because Brutus is sincerely worried about Caesar’s future rule and the welfare of Rome. Cassius believes that the reasons in the letter will persuade Brutus to join the plot because of his feeling of honour and duty to Rome.
3. Casca wants Brutus to join the plot because he recognises the value of Brutus’ reputation and power in Rome. The Roman people had a great admiration for Brutus, and his involvement in the plot would add legitimacy and popular support to it. Casca, like Cassius, feels that Brutus’ participation would secure the success of their strategy to keep Caesar from becoming a tyrant.
4. Cassius expects that Cinna will successfully deliver the letter to Brutus and that Brutus will elect to join the plot at the end of the drama. Cassius had already swayed Casca, Cinna, and numerous other Roman senators. Their shared goal is to keep Caesar from gaining greater power and becoming a tyrant. They feel Caesar’s ambition endangers the Roman Republic, and their purpose is to preserve the old system of government and defend Rome’s liberty by removing the possible tyrant.
