Cassius goes from being an arrogant man who's jeolousies clouded his reason to a man who actually cares about his friends and is satisfied with his life. But, in his final moments of life, Cassius shows that he was a weak person when he asks Pindarus to kill him. It opened a revelation about his character that he did not have leadership qualities and would rather run away from a fight he knows he will lose rather than fight against the forces of Marc Anthony.

Brutus - After the Deaths of Cassius and Titinius, he swears to give them a proper burial and overcoming Mark Antony in a second confrontation on the battlefield. He seeks revenge for the misfortune of his friends.

 * **Public vs. Private Persona: In public, Cassius is viewed as a strong, fearless man. But in truth, Cassius is a man with feelings who is actually at war with himself.

Cassius never really had any leadership qualities at all.**
