Best Answer

It's possible to make a strong case. Cassius' motivations are purely self-serving; whereas Brutus' motivations are - arguably - for the good of Rome. Therefore, each person's attitude/motivation towards Caesar's murder highlights the other's attitude/motivation. Thus, they are foils for one another.

Why would a reader consider Cassius to be Brutus' foil and what specific examples of the contrast in their character traits support your answer?

A foil is any character who appears on stage at the same time as another character and highlights some character trait by contrast. Cassius and Brutus are often on stage together. We find that Cassius is passionate and Brutus stoic when they have their discussion during the Lupercal. We find that Cassius is practical and Brutus is idealistic in their discussion of whether to kill Antony when they kill Caesar. We find that Cassius plays fast and loose with honesty while Brutus is rigidly honest in their argument in their camp.
