Cassius, in Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar," is a deceptive, persuasive, and ambitious Roman senator that would be more than happy if Julius Caesar were to suffer a sudden abdication of power due to violent causes. So far, in Act 1, we see Cassius trying to persuade Brutus by appealing to Brutus' sense of honor and duty to Rome. Then he insinuates that Caesar is weak, mortal, and undeserving of all his power. Cassius does truly believe this and due to these arguments Brutus begins to bend to Cassius' way of thinking. This shows how persuasive and deceptive he is to meet his ambition.
