What is Cassius's chief complaint about Caesar?
Cassius states that Caesar is no greater than he or Brutus (by birth), and is indeed a lesser man physically. So he feels it is wrong that he should be the one and only power in Rome, especially a Rome that was a Republic -- and therefore all Roman men share political equality (ideally). He also implies later that Caesar doesn't really like him and that upsets him: he isn't part of Caesar's inner circle.
What does Caesar observe about Cassius?
Cassius and Caesar, according to Shakespeare's play, were childhood friends (Cassius told a story of how he even saved Caesar from drowning in the Tiber River). Obviously, they were once good friends. However, Caesar gained more power and disregarded Cassius (Cassius also became more jealous and was not so friendly in return). Caesar had new friends, like Antony and Brutus, who were loyal to him. Caesar did not need Cassius to be his friend; he felt threatened by Cassius at one point. He said to Antony that he did not trust him (he was a thinker, probably plotting something devious). Caesar had hubris and did not feel threatened, really, by anyone. Obviously, Caesar undermined Cassius and did not care for him as a friend.

Upon the word,Accoutred as I was, I plunged inAnd bade him follow; so indeed he did.The torrent roar'd, and we did buffet itWith lusty sinews, throwing it asideAnd stemming it with hearts of controversy;But ere we could arrive the point proposed,Caesar cried 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!'I, as Aeneas, our great ancestor,Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulderThe old Anchises bear, so from the waves of TiberDid I the tired Caesar. And this manIs now become a god, and Cassius isA wretched creature and must bend his body,If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.He had a fever when he was in Spain,And when the fit was on him, I did markHow he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake;His coward lips did from their colour fly,And that same eye whose bend doth awe the worldDid lose his lustre: I did hear him groan:Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the RomansMark him and write his speeches in their books,Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Titinius,'As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze meA man of such a feeble temper shouldSo get the start of the majestic worldAnd bear the palm alone.Hope this helps!--Salena Jane--
