specific examples of the contrast in their character traits.

A reader would consider Cassius as Brutus' foil, because Brutus is naive, and Cassius is manipulative.

Explanation:

In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare presents the audience with a moral dilemma - Brutus, a friend of Caesar's, chooses to participate in a murder plot against Caesar.

Cassius is the one who initiates the plot against Caesar. He is presented as a rather manipulative and cunning person. Brutus, on the other hand, does not participate in the murder plot from the very beginning and hesitates to do so. He eventually joins the conspirators, which demonstrates that he is weak and naive. Although Brutus and Cassius both betray Caesar, they are two different personas. Cassius proves to be treacherous from the beginning of the play, and is strong in his determination to kill Caesar. For Brutus, it is not so simple to betray Caesar, but he eventually falls under the influence of Cassius.
