[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

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.
