Quotation of Three or More Lines

Act 2, Scene 1

Original Text:

But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.

This quote is made by Brutus. This happened just after Cassius had talked to him telling him that Caesar was not fit to be a dictator. Afterward, Brutus spent much time thinking whether or not it would be right for him to join Cassius. This quote tells you that Brutus thinks that if Caesar were to become king he could do some serious damage with it. The quote also means that evil can from good meaning that Caesar could be showing a good side to the people of Rome but if he were to become the dictator of Rome then he could show his true side.

And what this says about Brutus is that he is thinking about joining Cassius' side against Caesar after much thought.In our topic this quote relates to power because power in the wrong hands can result in the collapse of the kingdom. Before I read this I had predicted that Brutus would join Cassius and this confirms by belief. I can also predict that the conspirators side will gain a large advantage from having Brutus on their side because he is close to Caesar. Brutus' cooperation with the conspirators will mark the end of Caesar.
