Cassius had his own selfish motives to kill Julius Caesar and did not have Roman welfare on his mind. He had quoted an incident in Scene 1 where by he tells about his upperhand on Julius Caesar. He tells that once Caesar challenged him to swim across storming Tiber. Cassius, in an instant, jumped in the waters bading with his lusty sinews. But, Caesar himself could not swim and was helped by Cassius to reach the bank. Now, Cassius bears this grudge that such chicken-hearted Caesar should rule over Rome and doth not pay attention to his friends. He thinks that such a man is not wotrhy at all. Furthermore, Caesar's negligence and rudeness unto him makes him feel angry towards Caesar so much so that he was bent over killing Julius Caesar.
