The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 1: Applying Reading Strategies

Question 4 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which statement is the best analysis of what causes Casca to join the conspiracy?

Answer
A
Casca joins the conspiracy because Cassius uses various means to manipulate his emotions.
B
Casca joins the conspiracy because Brutus has already joined, and he respects Brutus.
C
Casca joins the conspiracy because Caesar has become king, and he is against this.
D
Casca joins the conspiracy because Cinna persuades him to trust Cassius.

Explanation

Cassius works on Casca by appealing to his fears and resentment of Caesar, and by arranging for forged letters that make it seem the Roman people want Brutus to act. These tactics stir Casca’s emotions and help draw him into the plot. Brutus’s involvement matters to Casca, but Cassius’s manipulation is the best overall explanation.
