Brutus tells Cassius that Caesar should not be king.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the death of Julius Caesar and the ensuing calamity that surrounds Rome. The power to rule Rome was distributed and fought over by numerous people, including Brutus and Cassius.
The given passage from Act I scene ii shows the conversation between Brutus and Cassius where Cassius begins questioning or inwardly manipulating him into revealing his thoughts. Cassius had always wanted to remove Caesar from the power but he also knew he needed to have a strong ally like Brutus, thus the manipulation and inward psychological reasoning. When he asked Brutus if he also did not support the idea of Caesar as the king, he wanted to see the real thought of Brutus about this issue, depending on which he will push his plan forward.
Thus, Cassius' questioning of Brutus leads to a revelation on the part of Brutus that Caesar should not be king.
