Brutus is known for his love for the people in Julius Caesar, while Cassius is highly pragmatic. Brutus and Cassius are both are in the running for being leader. Brutus is more of a people person. Brutus wants to be known for his nobility whilst Cassius is very sneaky and can make people vulnerable with his words. Who will win the people’s love for Rome, and will grieve in defeat.

“For let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honor more than I fear death.”
In act 1 scene 2, Brutus is telling Cassius that he loves honor more than he fears death. This is a very noble act on Brutus’s part. Back in the Roman era it was an essential to have honor and Brutus displays how much honor means to him.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
In act 1 scene 2, Cassius is speaking with his friend, Brutus, and trying to persuade him that, in the best interests of the people of Rome, Julius Caesar must die before becoming king of Rome. Brutus knows that Caesar is trying to persuade him, and is torn between his love of his friend Caesar and his love to the public. Cassius reminds Brutus that Caesar is just a man, not a god, and that they are the same as Caesar. So why would they want to bow to an ordinary man? This phrase is meant to mean that fate is not written in the universe but inside their mind.

Brutus is aware of that Caesar is trying to persuade him, and is torn between his love of his friend Caesar and his love to the public. Cassius reminds Brutus that Caesar is just a man, not a god, and that they are the same as Caesar. So why would they suddenly have to bow to an ordinary man? This phrase is meant to mean that fate is not written in the universe but inside their mind.
