In lines 301 - 315, Cassius delivers a soliloquy that reveals his secret thoughts and feelings about Brutus. What does Cassius say he would do if he were in Brutus´s position? What does this reveal about Cassius´s motivation for plotting against Caesar?

Cassius then tells Brutus that "Brutus" is just as good a name as "Caesar", and that both names could just as easily rule Rome. He invokes the image of Brutus' ancestor who founded the Roman Republic and expelled the former kings. Brutus, afraid that Caesar will become a king, struggles to decide whether to join Cassius in taking action against Caesar, but ultimately decides against it.
