Julius Caesar Quote

"Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish."

- Julius Caesar

This quote caught my attention when I read it because it explains his death. The reason I think so is because the conspirators felt threatened by Julius Caesar's power, and what he would do with it. They wished that they could be in power and that Julius wouldn't stand in the way of it. They believed he wouldn't treat Rome correctly and thought he meant harm. They assumed that he wouldn't treat the Romans very well and he wouldn't respect his senators. After Julius Caesar's will was read, they realized he would have been smart and giving to the Romans, because it explained that he was going to give some of his money to each Roman. In my opinion, this quote is important in the play because its showing Julius' intelligence.
