Question

How does Cassius’s manipulation of Brutus and the other characters in Act 1 drive the action of
the play.

In the book is: No Fear Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)

Answer 1

Cassius talks to Brutus as his "mirror" and basically makes him second guess everything he thought. For example, when Brutus says "I’m afraid the people have made Caesar their king", Cassius responds with "Really, are you afraid of that? Then I have to assume you don’t want him to be king". Cassius does not like Caesar as a King and he is the reason Caesar dies. Since Cassius manipulates Brutus' mind and makes him think that he DOESN'T want Caesar to be King, he soon believes that it is true. This manipulation drives the action of the rest of the play because initially, Brutus didn't mind Caesar being King but Cassius made him believe that.

That's basically what I gathered so hopefully that's enough for your homework :) (This is assuming you finished that whole play. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you.)

Answer 6

How does Brutus’s character drive the action of the play? In other words, how does his stance
on honor and his respect and will for what is best for the Roman people allow the action of the play to
continue? (Notice I said HOW, not what is it. You can explain it, but you need to answer HOW)

Answer 7

Well you do have to explain his character before you detail how it works in the play's action.
From what I remember, Brutus was a noble and courageous man who was coerced by Cassius to murder Caesar for "the greater good" when the intents of the other men were less than such. This disparity shows how Brutus strives to make a logical connection between such an atrocious act and whether, as Cassius says, such an act will really benefit the general populace of Rome. His doubt and confusion drives much of the action in the plot (at least the parts focusing on the conspirators' dialogue/monologues).
