Cassius is angry because Brutus condemned a man who took bribes, despite the fact that Cassius
told him not to. Brutus, ever concerned with honesty, is angry because he also believes that Cassius
has himself been taking bribes. For Brutus, such immorality would completely defeat the purpose of
having killed Julius Caesar; in his mind, he wonders why they would kill a corrupt man only to
become corrupt themselves.
Refer to Brutus's dialogue through line 17. What is his intent?
A. To accuse Cassius of being hypocritical by saying one thing and doing another.
B. To highlight Cassius's wartime qualifications.
C. To express admiration for qualities he does not have, but Cassius does.
D. To inform Cassius of his thoughts on the upcoming battle.
