Which line is spoken by Casca?

• A. Et tu, Brute! - Then fall, Caesar.
• B. Caesar, beware of Brutus. Watch Cassius. Don't go near Casca. Keep an eye on Cinna. Don't trust Trebonius.
• C. There's no place I'd rather die than here by Caesar, and no manner of death would please me more than being stabbed by you, the masters of his new era.
• D. Hands, speak for me!

Answer: (D)

Identifying who speaks a line in a Shakespearean moment comes from listening to voice and context. Casca tends to speak in blunt, action‑oriented terms and often uses vivid image language that points to what he will do rather than what he will say. When he says “Hands, speak for me,” it perfectly signals that his physical actions—the use of his hands—will convey his intent, fitting his role as a conspirator eager to take Caesar down. The other lines come from moments or voices that don’t match Casca’s quick, practical style: the famous “Et tu, Brute!” is Caesar’s own dying line; the other lines reflect different perspectives and stakes that don’t align with Casca’s voice in this scene. So this line best matches Casca’s character and the moment when action begins to replace words.
