Julius Caesar: Act 4, Scene 2 Quotes Modernized

BRUTUS:     Thou hast described A hot friend cooling. Ever note, Lucillius, When love begins to sicken and decay, It useth an enforcèd ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith. But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur. They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades. Sink in the trial. Comes his army on? You have have described to me A man who was loving but his heart is turning cold. But remember this Lucillius, When his loving heart towards you begins to fade It will become an unreal and fake love Its plain and simple, that's just the way it is no tricks involved But shallow men who are full of themselves Parade their arrogance But when worst comes to worst They fall the hardest And sink to the bottom. Is his army coming? This paragraph discusses how an arrogant and fake man may act. Brutus is showing Lucillius how Cassius has betrayed him. It also shows what Cassius is going to act like. This goes with our topic of betrayal because Brutus explains a lot in this paragraph about how any man would act when betraying another man. Brutus is a very smart man and he know the acts of others. -Tiny T
