Brutus is different from Cassius because of how straight forward and how noble he is. He would believe anything that anyone says to him. “The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious…For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable

men—Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.” ( Shakespeare 3:2:77-78,81-83 ) He has a piece of Caesar in his heart as well as to killing him for the good of the city and for the people of Rome. Brutus has a gullible personality, this is how he got tricked onto killing Caesar, being part of the plot. Cassius isn’t the same as Brutus he isn’t a person to go crazy about one person, he is calmer than Cassius. Brutus is more proud of his family honor.
Cassius is different from Brutus.

He is much more free about expressing his pride, proud of his intelligence and his independent spirit. He is influenced by ideas, instead of what other people think. He is a very manipulative and a sensitive person. “Brutus, bait not me. I’ll not endure it. You forget yourself. To hedge me in. I am a soldier, I, Older in practice, abler than yourself to make conditions.” ( Shakespeare 4:3:28-33 ) Both of them realize Antony in a different way, this is where their personalities clash and their differences begin. Cassius is a very jealous of Caesar’s position and fearful of what Rome might become if Caesar becomes the king. Brutus and Cassius were both good men and believed what they are doing were for the good of everyone else no matter what is going to happen to them.
