Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Cassius forges letters pretending to be from Roman citizens. He flings these at Brutus's window, praising Brutus's virtues and highlighting Caesar's ambition to be king. His goal is to manipulate Brutus by planting doubt about Caesar, turning Brutus (a respected figure) into a co-conspirator against Caesar.
