Cassius.] now could i, casca, name to thee a man

most like this dreadful night

that thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars

as doth the lion in the capitol:

a man no mightier than thyself, or me,

in personal action, yet prodigious grown

and fearful, as these strange eruptions are.

–the tragedy of julius caesar,

william shakespeare

what is the effect of cassius’s speech that compares caesar to a dangerous storm?

casca is persuaded to tell caesar of the conspiracy.
casca is persuaded to join the conspiracy against caesar.
casca is persuaded to leave the country to protect himself.
casca is persuaded to kill brutus for not joining the conspiracy.
