Take a guess. Your teacher will be happier if you just write a paragraph with a wrong guess, than if you just copy what you got off Yahoo! .... seriously, what is the point of going to school if you refuse to think? Just give it a shot.

Actually it was written by Cassius
Cassius forged letters from the "disdained" public and placed them on the desk of Brutus for him to read. This is where the whole web of lies and deceit began. Cassius used Brutus as a pawn to get Caesar out of the throne by lying and making Brutus think that what he was doing was right. The conspirators then made a plan as to how they would kill Caesar, and Portia begged Brutus to tell her what was going on. However, he refused. Meanwhile, Caesar got ready to go to the Senate, after many protests from his wife about a dream she had. When he arrived there, each of the conspirators stabbed him once, and when he saw Brutus among them, he gave up his fight to live. Antony returns to find Caesar stabbed ruthlessly, and shakes hands with each of the murderers, and asks to speak at his funeral. However, when they leave, he vows that Caesar shall be avenged. At the funeral, after Brutus and Cassius spoke, Antony spoke of the glory and riches Caesar brought to Rome, eventually reading his will, which gives everything of his to the public. The public becomes furious that such a generous man was killed, and they turn on Brutus and Cassius, who were driven out of the city. Octavius, (Caesar's adopted son) arrives in Rome and joins forces with Antony and Lepidus, while Brutus and Cassius make their own army. Brutus is also having a hard time at this point with the fact that his wife, Portia, killed herself while he was away. That night, the ghost of Caesar speaks to Brutus saying that he will see Brutus on the battlefield. The next day, the two armies combat. During this combat, Cassius sees that the army is not doing well, and orders Pindarus to see how things are. Pindarus sees Cassius' best friend, Titinius, surrounded by yelling people, and assumed he was captured. Upon hearing this, Cassius killed himself, and Titinius returned, still encircled, only to prove that he was not captured, but being celebrated for a victory. Titinius saw Cassius dead and also killed himself. When Brutus' army loses, Brutus gives up and killed himself, thus, Caesar is avenged. It is apparent that this web of lies only contributed to the beauty of the story, which contributed to the audiences' enjoyment of the play.
