Cassius is jealous primarily because he feels overshadowed by Julius Caesar's rising power and influence in Rome. He believes that Caesar's leadership diminishes his own status and capabilities, leading him to resent Caesar's perceived superiority. This jealousy fuels Cassius's desire to conspire against Caesar, as he fears being eclipsed and seeks to restore his own sense of agency and importance. Ultimately, his envy drives the plot against Caesar, highlighting themes of ambition and insecurity in the play.
The tragedy of Julius Caesar is a play written by William Shakespeare that centers around the conspiracy against Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Popilius Lena was a senator who reveals to Cassius the fact that he is aware of the conspiracy that was thought to be secret.

There was not a Gaius Cassius Hemina. There was a Lucius Cassius Hemina who was a historian and wrote the first annals in around 146 BC. If you are thinking of the Gaius Cassius who was an instigator in the plot against Julius Caesar, his name was Gaius Cassius Longinus. He ordered his freedman, Pindarus, to kill him when he lost the battle of Philippi.
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.
