Answer:
C. He wants Brutus to trust him.
Step-by-step explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the death of Caesar at the hands of his close allies. Moreover, it also delves into the fight for power after his death and touches the themes of friendship, loyalty, power, greed, etc.
In the given excerpt from Act I scene ii of the play, Cassius is seen trying to influence Brutus to support his cause- that of murdering Julius Caesar. He begins "since you know you cannot see yourself So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Will modestly discover to yourself That of yourself which you yet know not of". Through his use of words, we can infer that Cassius is trying to influence Brutus to trust him.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
