Probably the most informal scenes about Brutus and Cassius’ position post-Caesars
slaying is Act IV, Scene 2-3. Scene 2 is a short scene that takes place at a camp near Sardis,
located in present-day Turkey in front of Brutus’ tent. It begins with the entrance of Lucillius, a
friend of Brutus, talking to Brutus about Pindarus, a servant of Cassius, who is on his way to
greet Brutus. Cassius then shows up talks to Brutus about how he wronged him. Brutus then tells
Cassius to send the armies away and invites Cassius into his tent. Brutus then commands
Lucillius to guard the tent door with Lucius and Titinius and to allow no entrance to anyone who
wants to come in. With that they exit and conclude scene 2.(Shmoop Editorial Team) (Shakespeare Julius Caesar IV.ii-iii)(Julius Caesar: Character Profiles) Scene 3 kicks off with Cassius informing Brutus about how he wrong him. According to Cassius, Brutus threw Lucius Pella in prison for selling bribes to the Sardinians. Cassius also told him about a letter that he wrote Brutus to release Lucius. Brutus then explains to Cassius that he has,“an itching palm," or a thirst for money. He then says that Cassius is very greedy and thats why he’s selling high ranking jobs to rich people who don 't deserve it but buy it. Brutus then asks if Cassius remembers the Ides of March when they killed Caesar for the sake of Rome. He says that they killed him for the better of Rome and know Cassius is making it worse by selling jobs that should be earned to the rich who don 't deserve it. Cassius then tries to warn Brutus by saying that he’s older and a better soldier so don 't get him angry. Then they argue back and forth on who is and who isn’t. Brutus then challenges him to a fight which Cassius backs out of and says I said I am an older soldier not a better one. They then started a new problem. According to Brutus, he asked Cassius for money to pay his soldiers, but Cassius, with all his wealth, denied his request. Cassius claims to have not denied it and that the messenger must have messed up. Cassius then pulls out his dagger and requests for Brutus to end his life right there. Brutus looks and him and tells him to put his dagger up. Then apologies are exchanged and they shake hands. After their handshake a poet forces himself in the room and tells he two not to argue. They look at him and mock him and his rhymes.
