Act 5 scene 3:

When Cassius’s standard bearer the guy who carries his battle flag tried to run away, Cassius killed him and took up the flag himself. This guy is merciless!Titinius doesn’t comment on this behavior but points out that Brutus came down on Octavius’s army too early. Though they were initially weaker, Octavius’s men now appear to be overtaking Brutus’s, and Antony is enclosing Cassius’s. The situation is looking pretty dire for Cassius and Brutus.Pindarus comes to Cassius and Titinius with the news that Antony has invaded Cassius’s tents. He tries to get Cassius to run away, but Cassius is distracted by a set of troops in the distance.Cassius sends Titinius off on horseback to see whether the troops are friends or enemies. He also sends Pindarus higher up the hill to watch and report on Titinius’s progress.Cassius notes to himself that his birthday is a good day to die, his life having come full circle.Cassius is resigned to his fate, but he still fights on. Pindarus reports on Titinius play by play. A horde of horsemen has surrounded Titinius. Now they’ve overtaken him. And now they’re shouting with joy. It looks like the worst has happened.Cassius calls for Pindarus to stop watching. He laments that he’s such a coward to have sent his best friend Titinius to his death. Pindarus returns to Cassius’s side, and Cassius speaks to him.
