[Cassius confronts Brutus in a heated argument. Cassius, feeling betrayed and deeply hurt, bares his chest and invites Brutus to strike him, recalling the assassination of Caesar. The tension is palpable as Cassius’s voice trembles with a mix of anger and sorrow.]
I that denied thee gold will give my heart:
Strike, as thou didst at Caesar; for I know,
When thou didst hate him worst, thou lovedst him better
Than ever thou lovedst Cassius.
