This makes Brutus feel like all the noble Romans are expecting him to do something about Caesar.…

Cassius uses flattery upon many of the other actors to make them do what he says. Misconstruement of words is introduced in “Act I Scene I” where the cobbler uses a play on words. Shakespeare also adds another part that builds up the play in this scene that illustrates the fickleness of the people as they celebrate Caesar’s defeat of Pompey. Fickleness is also shown again in “Act II Scene I” as the conspirators are fickle as they try to persuade Brutus into killing Caesar with the addition of Antony and then adding Cicero as a conspirator.…

This plays a major role in the play because if Decius could not convince Caesar to go to the Capitol, then the conspirators could not kill Caesar. A third example of persuasion in Julius Caesar is Antony’s speech to the commoners.
