here can be some parallels made between the way politicians today might attack the foibles and personal shortcomings of their opponents, the same way Cassius does with Caesar in this play. Can you think of an example in modern politics? Think about election time or the way candidates campaign, even during years when they are not running for reelection. Include in your discussion a description of parallels between situations today and the situation between Cassius and Caesar.

i JUST NEED HELP IN FIGURING OUT HOW TO COMPARE IT TO MODERN POLITICS

Ms. Sue · Answer

Cassius insulted Caesar and attacked him in his speeches.

Your assignment is to find a modern politician who has insulted and attacked his/her opponent. Then discuss the similarities and differences between politics in the U.S. today and politics in Rome in Julius Caesar's time.

This is one of the most wrong-headed, evil, and stupid attack that I've ever seen.
