Trebonius is loyal to Cassius and the plan to defeat Rome, but is sensible enough to want to let Antony live. Portia wife; tries to convince him to share his griefs with her.

You have some sick offence within your mind, Which, by the right and virtue of my place, I ought to know of. I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.

None that I know will be, much that I fear may chance. The soothsayer is loyal to Caesar, and seeks to speak to him of the danger he may face. 1. What does it mean about Cassius s plan that he has to mislead to make it happen? I believe that it shows that Cassius plan is not sound, or rightly justified. Because of this, he has to lie to convince to partake in the plan. 2. What does it mean about that he so readily believes what Cassius says? I believe it shows that has many doubts of what is right and wrong about Caesar; though he loves his friend he does not see him a as being a capable leader, and is easily swayed into believing he is right. 3. What does it mean about Antony that refuses to kill him? I believe it shows that while plans to kill Caesar, he truly does see it as an honorable necessary effort that must be done to protect Rome. He is not, however, blood hungry and this is shown by him not wanting to kill Antony as well.
