Task three: How does shakespeare present the intentions of Brutus or Cassius?
Shakespeare presents Brutus’s intentions as guilty, as he does not feel that he should kill ceaser and anthohny but feels like he cannot betray cassius to this point of time. He wants to persuade the others by using less cold blooded terms for killing them. Cassius says “let us be sacrificers, but not butchers” and a few lines later he says “lets kill him boldly, not wrathfully”from these quotation we can see that not only does brutus not want to kill them but he dosent want to make the death seem murderous and bloody

Your reading of characters is sound here – you understand Brutus’ motives and you provide supporting quotations.
Targets:
1) Remember to use capital letters for proper nouns – Caesar and Anthony
2) I know that your skills of analysis are much better than this. I know that you can name most figurative devices and your exploration of them can be much more purposeful.
