Who kills himself after learning Cassius is dead?

• A. Brutus
• B. Caesar
• C. Antony
• D. Titinius

Answer: (D)

The moment tests loyalty under the weight of tragedy. Titinius, a close ally of Brutus and a friend of Cassius, acts on a deep personal bond rather than on political calculation. After Cassius dies by his own hand because of a misreading of how the battle is going, Titinius learns that Cassius is dead and chooses to kill himself as well. His suicide is driven by grief and a sense that the cause has collapsed, a final act of loyalty to Cassius and to the fallen world of their friends. This scene highlights how intimate loyalties can drive characters to extreme actions when public fortunes turn violently against them. Caesar is dead earlier, Antony survives, and Brutus dies later; Titinius’s act is the culmination of that fateful chain of loyalties.
