In the book “Julius Caesar” it states, “Let me have men that are fat sleek-headed men, and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous”. This quote supports my claim because this shows how Caesar tells Antony that Cassius has a sharp and mind, and he thinks too much.
