Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Which detail shows Brutus does not wish to discuss plotting against Caesar with Cassius?

---

CASSIUS: Brutus and Caesar-what should be in that "Caesar"?
Why should that name be sounded more than yours?
Write them together, yours is as fair a name.
Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well.
Weigh them, it is as heavy. Conjure with 'em,
"Brutus" will start a spirit as soon as "Caesar."
Now in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed
That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed!
Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods!
When went there by an age, since the great flood,
But it was famed with more than with one man?
When could they say till now, that talked of Rome,
That her wide walks encompassed but one man?
Now is it Rome indeed, and room enough,
When there is in it but one only man.
Oh, you and I have heard our fathers say,
There was a Brutus once that would have brooked
Th' eternal devil to keep his state in Rome
As easily as a king.

BRUTUS: That you do love me, I am nothing jealous.
What you would work me to, I have some aim.
How I have thought of this and of these times
I shall recount hereafter. For this present,
I would not, so with love I might entreat you,
Be any further moved. What you have said
I will consider, what you have to say
I will with patience hear, and find a time
Both meet to hear and answer such high things.
Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this:
Brutus had rather be a villager...

Answer :

Final answer:

Brutus shows his reluctance to discuss plotting against Caesar with Cassius by deflecting the conversation and expressing his desire to end the discussion.


Explanation:

The detail that shows Brutus does not wish to discuss plotting against Caesar with Cassius is when he states, 'For this present, I would not, so with love I might entreat you, Be any further moved.' This indicates Brutus's reluctance to engage in further conversation about the plotting against Caesar.

Another evidence is when Brutus deflects the discussion by saying, 'What I have thought of this and of these times I shall recount hereafter.'
