In act 4 scene 3 Brutus and Cassius start to quarrel. The argument starts because Brutus has accused Cassius of accepting bribes. “Let me tell you, Cassius you yourself are much condemn’d to have an itching Palm, to sell and mart your offices for gold and under servers.” In this quotation Brutus insults Cassius by telling him he has an “itching Palm” which translates into he is always hungry for money. Brutus continues to insult Cassius “I had rather be a dog and bay the moon than such a Roman” Here Brutus is telling Cassius that he would rather be a dog than him. We know he is insulting Cassius because a dog is considered a vicious dirty animal therefore saying he would rather be a dirty, vicious animal than Cassius.
