read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of julius caesar.

octavius. so i hope.
i was not born to die on brutus’ sword.

brutus. o, if thou wert the noblest of thy strain,
young man, thou couldst not die more honorable.

cassius. a peevish schoolboy, worthless of such honor,
joined with a masquer and a reveler!

antony. old cassius still!

it reveals a deeper level of contempt when he insults octavius.
it emphasizes his belief that octavius is simply young and inexperienced.
it suggests a small amount of sympathy because he thinks that octavius has been deceived.
it suggests that he does not think that octavius should be taken seriously
