Cassius suggests to Brutus that the conspirators all make an oath to one another, but Brutus disagrees, saying that their motives and purpose for the conspiracy are strong enough to bind them together.

As the meeting continues, the conspirators, Cassius included, suggest bringing the persuasive orator Cicero into their conspiracy, in order to gain positive public opinion. Again, Brutus disagrees, saying Cicero "will never follow any thing / That other men begin."

The third disagreement comes to whether or not they will kill Antony. Cassius thinks this is the wisest course of actions, as Antony is a known supporter of Caesar and will likely cause trouble after the assassination. Brutus, however, fears their "course will seem too bloody" if they kill Antony as well. Brutus, haunted by the fact that he will soon be a murderer, is reluctant to get more blood on his hands, despite the fact that Cassius's plan is safer in the long run.
