Casca, Brutus, and Cassius are characters from which play?

• A. Macbeth
• B. Romeo and Juliet
• C. Hamlet
• D. Julius Caesar

Answer: (D)

These three characters are from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Casca is a Roman tribune who reports the conspirators’ plans and witnesses key events; Brutus is a nobleman who struggles with Caesar’s rise and joins the plot; Cassius is the force that persuades Brutus to join the conspiracy. The play Julius Caesar centers on Caesar’s assassination and its aftermath, with these characters at the heart of that plot. The other plays listed—Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet—do not feature all three of these figures together, so Julius Caesar is the only option that fits.
