"Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus..."
Cassius has noticed Caesar's growing power and believes that he could be dangerous if given absolute power. Cassius is different than Brutus is these fears and concerns, though. Cassius is riddled with jealousy about Caesar's new found power. Several times he reminds Brutus how equal they should all be according to their stations in life and how easily one of them could be in power also.
Even with that jealousy, though, Cassius understands what the Roman republic is all about. He questions what kind of a country they have become when one man holds all the power.
