hey mate!
here's your answer:
The various characters sketches of julius caesar are:
Brutus:-
Marcus Junius Brutus, Roman senator and mastermind of the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar, is the central character of the play. Brutus is first seen in 1.2., discussing with Cassius why the republic would be best served with Caesar's removal. After the conspirators carry out the crime, Brutus gives a moving speech to convince the Plebeians that it was necessary to kill Caesar, but Antony arrives and turns the crowd against him. Brutus flees Rome and tries to regain the capitol by forming an army, but Antony's forces are too skilled and strong to combat. When he realizes the cause is lost, Brutus convinces his servant, Strato, to hold his sword while he falls upon it, and he dies. Antony and Octavius find his body and Antony, knowing Brutus was pure in his motive to help the republic, declares Brutus "was the noblest Roman of them all."
Cassius :-
Cassius is the practical and rash brother-in-law of Brutus. He relishes the removal of Caesar, whom he believes is incompetent and weak to the point of embarrassment. The character of Cassius is contrasted dramatically with Brutus.
Mark Antony :-
Antony, the heroic leader of the forces that defeat Brutus and the other conspirators, is also the title character in another Shakespearean tragedy, Antony and Cleopatra. In Julius Caesar, Antony is introduced in 1.2 and his importance is indicated by Cassius's proposal that he be assassinated along with Caesar (2.1). Antony delivers his most significant speech (in either tragedy) in 3.2: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears…" (79). After Brutus commits suicide, Antony eulogizes Brutus in a speech that begins with one of Shakespeare's best known lines: "This was the noblest Roman of them all"
Julius Caesar :-
Shakespeare's Caesar is not an attractive ruler. He is self-aggrandizing and has a feeble constitution, which Cassius points out with several examples in 1.2. He makes those around him wonder how such a buffoon could "bestride the narrow world like a Colossus" (1.2.135) while they are left to "walk under his huge legs" (136). Yet Caesar's assassination is so great a crime, and the words of Antony so moving in his favor, that he becomes more commanding in death than in life; his mighty spirit fighting along side Antony and Octavius.
Octavius :-
Stony hearted and cautious Octavius Augustus Caesar joins with Antony to defeat Brutus on the Plains of Philippi. Octavius is but a minor character in Julius Caesar, but he plays a central role in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, where we see his character developed and contrasted with that of Antony.
Portia :-
Portia is the strong and devoted wife of Brutus. Her most notable moment in the play is when she reveals to her husband that she has wounded herself to demonstrate her strength and courage (2.1.300). Her act proves to Brutus that she is worthy to hear his troubles, and he is about to tell her his plan when they are interrupted by Ligarius. Knowing Brutus's cause is lost to Antony and Octavius, Portia commits suicide in 4.3. Brutus describes her strange death to Cassius, telling him she "swallow’d fire" (155). According to the author of Shakespeare's source, Plutarch, Portia held hot coals in her mouth until she choked.
Calpurnia :-
Calpurnia, like Portia, is a noble Roman woman who has an affectionate relationship with her husband and a deep concern for his safety. There is little doubt that the devotion is mutual: Calpurnia cannot give Caesar children, and although he is troubled by the thought of having no heir (1.2.6-9), he bears her no hostility; she has an ominous dream, and Caesar agrees to stay home to ease her mind (2.2.59). Although Decius ultimately convinces Caesar to go to the Capitol, Caesar and Calpurnia have discussed her concerns as equals.
