Act One Scene Two qoute

"Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

This is a line from scene two of act one. Cassius is talking to Brutus about Caesar and is being very malicious and coy about how they must throw him out of power. He doesn't state this directly but instead makes Brutus feel very loved and tells him shortly after this quote that Caesar is no more important than Brutus. He tells Brutus here that he can be as powerful as Caesar because "Men at some time are masters of their fates". He is saying that no matter what the soothsayer's say and no matter what "signs" they see. Later on, this makes Caesar nervous because he knows that Cassius has new ideas (being his master of his own fate) and he believes that men that think too much (Cassius) are dangerous to the world. Cassius knows that his fate is in his own hands. he just has to convince others of the same thing.

This shows that Cassius is a thinker and he wants to be in charge. He seems like a good guy until the scene where he thinks out loud about Brutus and how they can be in charge. Cassius is power hungry and he doesn't really believe in fate (as shown when he talks Casca about the "signs"). He believes in paving his own way and being the leader. He is a surprising character and I believe he will do something extremely shocking that shows he truly is the master of his own fate. I almost hope he convinces Brutus to do the same just so it shows the other characters what a conniving person he is. He is also a realist because he believes in free will and that the choice is yours instead of believing that the stars and whatnot tell his fate and how things are going to be.
