Fate Vs. Freewill
Act I Scene 2
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Caesar: He is dreamer; let him: pass.
When the Soothsayer is warning Caesar of the day that he will be murdered Caesar is taking his own fate in his hand, and does nothing to take this warning. In his freewill he chose not to listen and kept walking, not taking second thought into what the Soothsayer was saying.

Brutus: Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius That you would have me seek into myself for that which is not in me.
This quote that Brutus tells Cassius is fate, its fate because he doesn’t know what is going to happen, and yet he still have to curiosity to keep asking about it. We know what Cassius is trying persuade Brutus to do., and the freewill is that Brutus knows there is dangers and he still thinks about them.

Cassius: Men at some time are masters of their fates: the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.
This is important because when Cassius is talking to Brutus why Caesar was just like them, he says, that their fate is what they make it. The stars, are what the people back then used to predict the future of their lives.

Act I Scene 3
Casca: These are their reasons; they are natural; For, I believe, they are portentous things. Unto the climate that they point upon.
What this quote seems to be saying is that the events that are going to happen are going to happen because they are so inevitable, that it is just natural. The word portentous is a clear hint that what is going to happen in the future is going to be significant and serious.
