"Messala, today is my birthday. Give me your hand, and you will witness that i am forced to bet all of uor fredoms on one battle. I used to believe that there are no omens, just as Epicurus does, but now i have a little belief in Omens. When we came from Sardis, two Eagles were perched on our first flag, eating from some soldiers hands. They flew away today, and now there are crows, ravens, and kites flying over head. They are looking down on us as if we are prey. Their shadows are a canopy of death, were our army lies." -Cassuis

This quote is very important because it is Cassius discussing his worries. Cassuis is starting to believe that fate is happening because it is his birthday, and he may die in battle. Cassius is looking at the crows and ravens as a sign of his iminate doom. He is worried fate has caught up with him. Cassius ends up killing himself. He could have not killed himself, but he thought he was not worthy to live any longer. Cassius could have decided to not kill himself, and live another day. I believe this is is a mixture of fate and freewill. you could argue that he did die on his birthday, so it is fate. Or you could say that he Killed himself, and that was forcing fate otherwise known as freewill.

Picture and Relatin to Topic

This picture show Caesar being stabbed by all the members of the senate, this relates to the topic of Fate and Freewill because it shows Caesar's freewill of going to the senate and his fate of being betrayed by his friend Brutus.

-RainMan

Fate is like the sun, because the sun always fallows a course without changing.

Free will is a child, because a child always changes his mind.

Brutus is like a dog, because he did whatever he thought best for Rome, even if it means killing himself.

1. “Brutus, thou sleep’st"
We must work to kill Caesar
It's the best for Rome

2. Do not leave the house
I do not have good feelings
Something bad will happen

3. Stab at the leader
Everyone gets their own turn
"Et tu, Brute" says he.

Fate vs. Free will Similies & Metaphors

1. Fate vs. Free will is like Salmon because right after they lay eggs, they're supposed to die because of lack of nutrients. Free will sometimes gives them the power to get back to the ocean.

2. Fate vs. Free will is a dagger because you can choose to use it and hurt someone or you can decide you fate by doing the same thing.

3. Brutus is like a page in a book because its two sided and has a lot of information.

ANTONY
Caesar?

CAESAR
Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

ANTONY
Fear him not, Caesar; he's not dangerous;
He is a noble Roman and well given.

CAESAR
Would he were fatter! But I fear him not:
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much;
He is a great observer and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays,
As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music;
Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mock'd himself and scorn'd his spirit
That could be moved to smile at any thing.
Such men as he be never at heart's ease
Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
And therefore are they very dangerous.
I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd
Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar.
Come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf,
And tell me truly what thou think'st of him.

ANTONY

Yes? What is it?

CEASAR

I’d rather have men with no will at all. Men who do what little that pleases them. But Cassius there has a powerful will. He will find out what I’m up to. People like that are dangerous.

ANTONY

Caesar, he’s fine. I think you’re just being paranoid. Everyone in Rome loves him.

CAESAR

I wish I could break him! Bend his will! I don’t fear him though. But if I could, I wouldn’t know that I should avoid that Cassius. I see him reading all the time, and he notices everything. He can see right through people—like glass. He has no interest in the theater, unlike you Antony. Music does not entertain him at all. I rarely see him smile, and when he does it’s as if it is a joke, that only he himself would know about. Only men like that can never be care-free for they see something greater than themselves, and because of that—he is dangerous. I’d rather tell you of what should be feared then what I fear, for I am Caesar. Now, Antony, come on the other side, my left ear is deaf. Come and tell me what you really think of him.

Fate and Freewill S&M

Fate is like a dice because it is uncertain and can change your life in the most unexpected ways at any moment.

Fate and Freewill are opposites because they both effect your life but Fate is uncertain and random and Freewill is your own choosing.

Fate is the coal that powers the engine of Brutus and the conspiracy .
