What does Brutus accuse cassius of?
He says that Cassius has an “itching palm,” and is corrupting their noble cause by resorting to extortion in order to gain wealth for their armies. He also, ironically, is angry because Cassius has not sent him money since Brutus can “raise no money by vile means.” He seems most troubled by the fact that the nobility of their assasination seems to be threatened. He is also most likely less composed than he has been throughout the play because he has just recieved news of the death of his wife, Portia.
