This teaching resource / full lesson of guidance and discussion points takes students through the complex scene (Act 4 scene 3) between Cassius and Brutus before they approach Philippi. Brutus is in the spotlight as a man and a commander; Cassius is shown as changeable and moody as well as a foil to the more heroically stoic Brutus. Contextual issues are considered, especially in terms of leadership and the financing of military campaigns; textual issues such as the confusing announcement of Portia’s death are also included. The session concludes with an extract question opening out to a larger question focusing on how Shakespeare works to present the Roman qualities of Brutus. 21 slides.
