Julius Caesar
Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Forget not in your speed Antonio, to touch Calpurnia, for our elders say. The barren, touched in this Holy chase, Shake off their sterile curse.
- I shall remember...Act 1 Scene 2 Lines 6-9
- Caesar instructs Antonio to touch Calpurnia with his leather thong while running in the ceremonial games to celebrate the feast of Lupercal. Caesar believes that Calpurnia can get rid of her barren curse as Lupercalia brings health and fertility into the city and drives away the bad spirits from it. This portrays the theme of superstition because this belief is a myth that has been carried in roman culture from generation to generation.
- Caesar! Beware the ides of March.
- In this dialogue, a soothsayer (fortune teller) informs Caesar to beware of the fifteenth of March for. he believes, something ion negative nature might happen to Caesar that day. To this ds, Caesar pays no heed, calling the soothsayer a mad man. This is another evidence of the theme of superstition as, Romans believed in future telling, which is not a very logical thing to believe in.
- He is a dreamer, let us leave him. Pass. Act 1, Scene 2, Lines: 23-24
- A common slave-.... up his left hand, which did flame and burn like twenty torches joined, and yet his hand, Not sensible of fire, remained unscorched.Act 1, Scene 3, Lines: 15-18
- In the beginning of, scene 3, something very supernatural is going on. According to Casca, the Gods are angry at the Romans, hence they are throwing fire storms on them. It seems like there is a battle commencing in the heavens. This causes animals to act weirdly, disrupting their sleep routines as a sign to the Romans, symbolising the gods' wrath. An example of this supernatural belief of Casca, witnessed by many other civilians as-well can only be explained by supernatural. In this example, a slaves hand burns as if it lights twenty torches, yet still his hand remains unburnt.
- And yesterday the bird of night did sit Even at noon day upon the market place, Hooting and shrieking.Act 1, Scene 3, Line 26-28
- This line, said by Casca again, as previously mentioned is about the unusual behaviour of an owl. Although it is largely known to be a night bird, it was seen awake by Casca, it shrieked, hooted, and screamed, as usual. Except, this time, during day hours instead of the usual nighttime shrieking. This is an example of supernatural as this can only be explained by supernatural and also because Cassca believes this is a sign from the Gods representing wrath towards the Romans. The animals' unusual behaviour is unsettling. The onomatopoeic words 'hooting and shrieking' add to the threatening tone.
- I met a lion... went surely by without annoying me. Act 1, scene 3, lines : 20-22
- Wild animals, as commonly known are very dangerous and rarely found roaming freely on streets, almost never. This contributes to the threatening tone. Their unnatural behaviour is unsetting. This is a very supernatural and unusual thing to take place.
- I am not interested in eating you.
