Point
He thinks he is superior and seems to resent the fact that Caesar has power over him.
Evidence
‘I, as Aeneas, our great ancestor, / Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder / The old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber /Did I the tired Caesar. And this man / Is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature and must bend his body / If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.’ (Cassius, 1:2)
Explanation
Cassius compares himself to Aeneas, the great and powerful founder of Rome and Caesar to a weak and helpless elderly man, suggesting he thinks he is superior to their leader. Cassius is angry and indignant that the weak Caesar has now grown so powerful whilst Cassius is worth nothing to him.
Point
He comes across as boastful and impulsive.
