Where do Brutus and Cassius fit in your death categories?

(I spent a solid 10 minutes trying to find where I put the chart of the death breakdown)

Cassius was in the Main Antagonist category 

Brutus was in the Guy who tries his best but it ultimately doesn’t work out for him (I know that’s not how I phrased that category in the post I posted- it’s the last category on the list)

(Update: Just checked what I posted- I called that category “Guy who’s actually Right in his own way but being correct doesn’t stop you from dying. sorry.”)

edette, i finally had time to start reading king lear!! i like how it starts with "ah yes. this is my son. my bastard son who is a bastard."

Yup- Shakespeare’s really great at opening up his plays with great conversations

The whole opening of Lear is like 

Kent: is that your son?

Gloucester: Ah yes my bastard son. He’s illegitimate.

Kent: okay-

Gloucester: His mom was hot tho

Kent: oka-

Gloucester: Just. SO hot. 

Kent: o-

Gloucester: Anyway I have a legitimate son who’s older than him. I like that one better. But I don’t have a favorite child lol.
