[CAESAR.] He reads much, He is a great observer, and he looks Quite through the deeds of men. He loves no plays, [. . .] he hears no music. Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit That could be moved to smile at anything. Such men as he be never at heart’s ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, And therefore are they very dangerous. –The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare Read the passage. Why does Caesar think that Cassius is dangerous? Cassius never smiles. Cassius never pays attention. Cassius has a kind heart. Cassius is very close to Caesar.
