Blog #1- Quotation

Alas, it cried, “Give me some drink, Titinius,”
As a sick girl. 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.

This quote basically is when Cassius is speaking of the times he has done things for Caesar. He mades him out to be a "sick girl." He says that Caesar is a human being and should not be treated and some all mighty god. He questions why Caesar should be a ruler when he has faults like all other people. He goal was to get Brutus to see that he too can be just as great as Caesar.
This shows that Cassius is smart with his words and knows what to say to manipulate things to his advantage. This shows us insight on his plans to get Brutus, who Caesar trusts, on his side. Cassius clearly had some thought for what he wanted to happen to Caesar. When he brings Caesar down with his words you can see that he clearly has no respect for Caesar. Cassius is a person that we need to watch.----Jazzymine
