So far in this play, we have seen the characters face multiple ethical dilemmas. On your graphic organizer, you should have been
noting character traits and actions as you read. Now, it is time to put your notes to use. Think about these questions from the graphic organizer/planner. What does it mean about Cassius's plan that he has to mislead Brutus to make it happen? What does it mean about Brutus that he so readily believes what Cassius says? What does it mean about Antony that Brutus refuses to kill him?
Use your literary analysis skills to answer the questions above.
Prompt: Using the RACES method, write a well-constructed paragraph using the conventions of standard American English to analyze the character development of your choice of main character--CHOOSE ONE-- (Brutus--What does it mean about Brutus that he so readily believes what Cassius says?, Cassius--What does it mean about Cassius's plan that he has to mislead Brutus to make it happen?, or Antony--What does it mean about Antony that Brutus refuses to kill him?). Use the guided analysis questions to assist you (provided in bold). Include sufficient evidence from the text to support your analysis and explain your reasoning thoroughly.
