He intends to forge letters from various citizens that will praise Brutus and express their desire for him to take action against Caesar, thereby convincing him that there is widespread support for the conspiracy. By doing this, Cassius aims to exploit Brutus's ideals and frame the conspiracy as a noble cause, making it more likely for him to join their plot.
In Scene 2 of "Julius Caesar," Cassius describes Caesar as physically weak and vulnerable, emphasizing his swimming ability and how he once saved him from drowning. This portrayal highlights Caesar's humanity and fragility, contrasting with the god-like status others attribute to him.

Overall, their interaction underscores the tension between perception and reality in leadership.

It proves dat Caesar was very proud, over-confident and he treated himself like GOD
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 tells Brutus that allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral could be dangerous because Antony is a powerful speaker and may turn the crowd against them by reminding them of Caesar's good deeds. Cassius warns that Antony could incite the crowd to rebel against the conspirators.
Because Antony had no intention of allowing Brutus and Cassius to get away with murdering Antony's friend Caesar, or with impeding Antony's desire to become as powerful a ruler as Caesar was. He didn't give a hoot what Cassius and Brutus told him to do; he agreed with them temporarily because they were a dozen dangerous men holding bloody knives, but had every intention of breaking his word the moment he could.
