Answer to the question
After climbing on top of the hill Pindarus tells Cassius that his trusty
servant Titinius has been caught by the soldiers of the opposing army and
this message upsets him. He falls into a mood filled with guilt as he was
the one who sent Titinius towards the army camps to check whether the
army was theirs or the oppositions. He was not right in blaming himself
as Pindarus had given him wrong information as the soldiers were from the
same army and rejoiced the triumph of Brutus' army as they had defeated
Octavius' troops and they had also given Titinius a coronet to give to
Cassius.

Immediately after this extract Titinius performs two noble gesture first of
all he crowned Cassius with the coronet that Brutus had sent for him and
secondly he kills himself with the same sword with which Cassius had stabbed
himself. At the end of the scene Brutus asks the others if there were any
romans still living as honourably as Cassius and Titinius and also says
that they are the last men worthy to be called Romans and also says that He
will shed more tears for them than what he is shedding now at a more
appropriate time. He also orders his soldiers to take their body to Thasos
as he says that the funeral procession will not happen in their camp as it
will dishearten the troops.

Another soothsayer named Artemidorus had a petition for Caeser.......
Another soothsayer named Artemidorus had a petition for Caeser which spoke
about the well-being of Caeser.Caeser responded by saying that then he would
read that plea last as the pleas that were about the public were more
important to him.By this gesture of Caeser we see that Caeser was selfless
and a great king as his subjects were more important to him than his own
life.

Shortly after this Caesar is stabbed to death.............
Shortly after this Caesar is stabbed to death by the conspirators. At this
point in the play I feel sympathetic for Caesar as he was misjudged by the
conspirators as Caeser was not a tyrant neither was he ambitious. We can say
this as Caeser refused the crown thrice and he loved his subjects. I also
feel that the conspirators are greedy and loathful as they all decided to
kill Caeser for a personal cause.Brutus was the only conspirator who decided
to kill Caeser for the general good.

The trait that is revealed by the king's reply is that he cared for his

Sir Pertab Singh refers to the universal caste of a soldier as the
"immortal" caste. and told the priest that the caste of a soldier is much
above the caste of Brahmin or Rajput and siad that they are all but dust as
compared to the immortal caste and.....
said that the caste of a soldier was as big as the world, as free as the air
and as pure as the pool of death as their souls become pure and their sins
are washed off when they die. A true soldier's caste is the caste of a
noble heart.
