In Act 5, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Cassius immediately begins to express his concerns about their army’s situation and the impending battle with Octavius and Antony. He is anxious and worried about the outcome of the conflict, anticipating that they may not win.
Brutus wants Cassius to stop expressing his worries because he believes that such a mindset could undermine morale and affect their soldiers negatively. He thinks that Cassius's fears could lead to despair, which is counterproductive in a time of war.
Instead of dwelling on their fears, Brutus suggests that they should prepare for battle and take action, asserting that they must focus on strategizing rather than succumbing to panic. He encourages a sense of determination and courage as they face the challenges ahead. Brutus emphasizes the importance of maintaining a confident outlook to inspire their troops.
