Is friendship what you think it is? Do friends come and go? Cassius is a very determined man that doesn’t want Julius to be the leader. Therefore, he uses Brutus to kill his old friend because Julius has a soft spot to his friends. Cassius is attempting to gain Brutus’s trust so he can manipulate him to murdering Julius. I think that Cassius is the enemy because he wants Brutus to kill Julius. Cassius also tries to manipulate Brutus to killing Julius. Cassius states, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” (L.iii.141-142). I chose this quote because this is something Cassius would say to manipulate Brutus. Cassius would explain that he makes his own decisions and no one else can… except for Cassius.
