- Brutus is convinced and determined to kill his friend Caesar. He assumes Caesar will become a tyrant and threat to Rome since he will forget the people. While he is at the garden contemplating his decision, he mentions, "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg (Which, hatch'd, would as his kind grow mischievous) And kill him in the shell." He compares Caesar to a serpent because he believes Caesar will become a corrupt king similar to the threats of a serpent.

- Brutus receives a letter from an unknown writer, which was by Cassius. Cassius wrote the letter to encourage Brutus to kill Caesar and join the conspiracy. In the letter, it mentions, "Brutus, thou sleep'st. Awake, and see thyself! Shall Rome, etc. Speak, strike, redress!" The letter contributes to his decision to kill Caesar and join the conspirators.

- The conspirators arrive at Brutus' house to plan the assassination of Julius Caesar. Cassius comes up with decisions that contribute to the scheme. They decide to make an oath, allow Cicero to view their decisions, and kill Anthony. However, Brutus refuses to make an oath because he believes Romans are honest and will not back down. Also, he states that Cicero doesn't belong in the conspiracy. During the discussion, Brutus claims, "Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius, To cut the head off and then hack the limbs-Like wrath in death and envy afterwards-For Anthony is but a limb of Caesar." Essentially, he felt that Anthony was not a threat to the conspirators. Hence, they conclude and obey Brutus' decisions.

- Portia (Brutus' wife) is concerned about Brutus due to his behaviour change and lack of appetite. Indeed, Portia claims, " Y'have urgently, Brutus, Stole from my bed; and yesternight at supper You suddenly arose and walk'd about, Musing and sighing, with your arms across, And when I ask'd you what the matter was, you star'd upon me with ungentle looks." Also, she wanted to know what occurred when he met the conspirators. She stabs her thigh to reveal her ability to keep Brutus' secrets.

- Ligarius arrives at Brutus' house to notify his support and devotion towards Brutus. During the conversation, Ligarius comments, "Set on your foot, And with a heart new fir'd I follow you To do I know not what; but it sufficeth That Brutus leads me on." Essentially, he displays his loyalty and devotion towards the conspirators, especially Brutus. Additionally, he reveals his contempt towards Caesar becoming the king of Rome.

- Calpurnia wakes up from the horrific dream she had. Caesar narrates her dream to Decius, and Caesar claims, " She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, Which was like a fountain with an hundred spouts Did run pure blood, and many lusty Romans Came smiling and did bathe their hands in it." After hearing her dream and opinion about the horrible night, Caesar eventually doesn't go to the Capitol and claims he is ill.
