Caesar
Storyboard Text
- ACT I, Scene II
- BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!!
- Act II, Scene III
- Act III, Scene I
- In Act 1 Scene 2 Soothsayer says to Caesar, "Beware the ides of March" (I : II : ln ). When Soothsayer warns Caesar, he don't seem to think anything of it. Caesar thinks Soothsayer is just blowing smoke and talking to talk. However, Caesar really don't know what's coming for him. He shouldn't have taken Soothsayers warning like a grain of salt.
- Act IV, Scene III
- Portia is dead.
- In Act 2 Scene 3 Artemidorus tries to warn Caesar of who to watch out for he reads a list. "Caesar, beware of Brutus. Take heed of Cassius. Come not near Casca. Have an eye to Cinna. Trust not Trebonius. Mark well Metellus Cimber. Decius Brutus loves thee not. Thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you. Security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty Gods defend thee!" (II : III: ln ) With that being said, Caesar once again took it with a grain of salt and ignored another warning towards him going to get murdered.
- Act V, Scene V
- Act 3 Scene 1 is when it all happened. March 15th like Caesar was warned about. Casca said "Speak hands for me!" (III : 1 : ln ). After Casca yelled that statement he stabbed Caesar in the back shoulder blade. Then everyone else joined in. After being stabbed 22 times and trying to stay alive. Caesar turned around to see his bestfriend stab him the 23rd time and he finally gave up the will to live and died.
- Theme, do NOT be ambitious
- In Act 4 Scene 3 Brutus tells Cassius that Portia is dead. Brutus states "No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead." (IV : III : ln ). Cassius didn't seem to really believe him replying with "Ha, Portia?" (IV : III : ln ). Then Lucius walks in and they stop talking about her and her suicide death. Brutus says he's been mentally unstable since learning of her death. However, losing a wife is never easy and anyone would lose them self and feel lost without their significant other.
- PORTIA!
- In Act 5 Scene 5, Brutus asks Strato to hold his sword for him as he runs onto it to commit suicide. Brutus says "Hold then my sword and turn away thy face. While I do run upon it. Wilt thou, Strato?" Strato agrees to hold the sword of Brutus. Brutus then runs upon his sword, the same sword that killed Caesar and he kills himself with it. Brutus says he wanted to do this because the ghost of Caesar has finally won basically.
- In Act 3 Scene 2 Brutus is giving a speech on his reasonings for killing Caesar and he says "But, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his valor, and death for his ambition." The theme or lesson I personally get out of this story is to live for yourself but put others first. If you're to ambitious you could end up murdered like Caesar. If you have power don't use it in a negative way or to your advantage, use it to help others who you see need help.
