i really dont know what these mean. i have to use these quotes and foretell what could happen later in the following acts. these are all from act one
Brutus: "For let the Gods so speed me, as i love/ the name of honor more than i fear death." [scene 2, lines 88-89]
Cassius: "men are sometimes the masters of their fates" [sc. 2, line 139]
Cicero: " but men may construe things after their fashion./ clean from the purpose of the things themeselves" [sc. 3, Ln. 34-35]
Cassius: "Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Caesar"
[sc. 2, Ln. 147]

Shakespeare is so dense! Below are my own interpretations but, obviously, there are probably many more:
Quote 1: Brutus declares he values honor over death itself. Whatever he intends to do later will involve making a name for himself with the possibility of being killed.
Quote 2: Cassius claims people control the events that happen to them; things do not merely just happen.
Quote 3: Cicero might be saying that people interpret things according to their own personal biases regardless of circumstances surrounding the event or object in question. People put on their own "glasses" (so to speak) that color the world around them so nothing is ever 100% free of bias.
Quote 4: Cassius predicts Brutus's future actions will instigate a movement that will be just as passionate as those who presently follow Caesar.
Hope these help!! :)

what do you recommend, what does it recommend? it is describing the injuries inflicted on Caesar via Brutus, Cassius and Casca. it is telling you to make certain how Caeser replaced into betrayed and died on the palms of those he depended on maximum.

It's actually a pretty good play; you ought to give it a read sometime.
