Cassius convinces Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar by appealing to Brutus's sense of honor and patriotism and by highlighting Caesar's growing power and ambition. Cassius also plays on Brutus's fear that Caesar's power will diminish the Roman Republic.
After the exeunt of everyone except Brutus and Cassius, Brutus tells Cassius that Brutus is not as athletic as Antony, so Brutus doesn't want to attend that day's race (28-29).
Cassius works hard to bring Brutus into the conspiracy against Julius Caesar because he believes that Brutus's noble reputation and honor will lend legitimacy to their plot.
