Cassius' Offer to Brutus: Act I

 Using the quote below, what is Cassius offering to Brutus? 

 "Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear: And 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."

He says that he will do this "modestly". However, Cassius does many things (some extreme) in order to sway Brutus. What is his plan to get Brutus to join the conspiracy? What story does he tell to Brutus about Caesar to make him appear weak? What are some qualities Cassius points out to Brutus?

  1. Cassius is offering to Brutus to be his right hand man or to show him the way. His plan is to leave Brutus many notes in different places to show him the people of Rome want their country back. One story he tells Brutus is when Caesar was drowning and Cassius had to go in and save him. Some of the qualities that Cassius points out to Brutus is that he is good natured and affectionate.
