In "Juilius Caesar," Caesar himself describes Cassius as "lean and hungry," a man who thinks too much and is "dangerous" (I, ii, 193-195). Cassius is these things and more. He is envious of Caesar, speaking of him as a Colossus. Cassius is manipulative of Brutus, telling him I have not from your eyes that gentleness/And show of love as I was wont to have (I,ii,32-33) In his manipulations, he is fauning before Brutus, flattering him in order to further sway him to think as he does. Cassius, then, is suggestive,telling Brutus that they groan "underneath this age's yoke" (I,ii,61). He is seductive in his language to Brutus, telling him I, your glass/Will modestly discover to yourself/That of yourself which you yet know not of. (I,ii,68-70) Certainly, Cassius is deceptive and dishonorable because he deceives Brutus by playing to Brutus's own sense of honor: I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,/As well as I do know your outward favor./Well, honor is the subject of my story...(I,ii,90-93) In truth, honor is not the subject of his story. He leads Brutus to believe that he has the same noble principles as Brutus when it is power that Cassius desires, not the good of Rome, as Brutus wants. Clearly, Cassius is shrewd as he knows how to sway his brother-in-law, Brutus. Later in the play, Cassius is quarrelsome with Brutus, but does he defer to Brutus, who is well-respected, thus again showing shredness.
Cassius recalls a windy day when he and Caesar stood on the banks of the Tiber River, and Caesar dared him to swim to adistant point. They raced through the water, but Caesar became weak and asked Cassius to save him. Cassius had to drag him from the water. Cassius also recounts an episode when Caesar had a fever in Spain and experienced a seizure. Cassius marvels to think that a man with such a feeble constitution should now stand at the head of the civilized world. Cassius's purpose is to convince Brutus to side against Caesar by how can a weak man have so much power.
Cassius
Cassius hoped that Brutus, who was a man of impeccable integrity and who was close to Caesar, would lend legitimacy to their movement.
For punishing a man for taking bribes after Cassius wrote to him informing him he knew the man and to not punish him
Cassius has been less than honest; he takes bribes from soldiers who want to be promoted. He has also tolerated one of his corrupt officers who has taken bribes from people outside of the army. Brutus has had this man arrested, and censures Cassius for his own corruption.
Cassius did In their long conversation which forms the bulk of Act I Scene 2 Cassius attempts to convince Brutus that Caesar is a threat to the traditional values of the Roman Republic. Cassius' main argument is simply that Caesar is an ordinary man: I had as lief not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself. Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar sweats when he is ill, and that he does not swim as strongly as a younger man:- but the common people of Rome love him (and this is somehow dangerous): And this man Is now become a God, and Cassius is A wretched creature. None of the conspirators in the play have any substantial objection to Caesar, and Cassius is simply eaten up with envy. Caesar knows this, he says: Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much, such men are dangerous. But Caesar is too proud to act on his suspicions. This is his weakness.
