Commoners gather in town to celebrate Caesar's victory against Pompey. During this gathering, a soothsayer shouts to Caesar to “beware of the Ides of March”. Caesar rejects this warning. He is offered the crown, which he refuses three times in a row. While all this is happening, there is a group of conspirators against Caesar, claiming that he is a tyrant and should be killed before he rises to power. Casca and Cassius try to convince Brutus to be on their side, because he is noble and will follow their plan if they tell him it is for the good of the Plebeians. Cassius comes to Brutus with the group of conspirators. They are there to get Brutus on their side and kill Caesar. Because they know that Brutus is noble and wants to do what is right, the conspirators convince Brutus that they should kill Caesar the next day as well as anyone else who is with Caesar. Brutus agrees to the plan, but insists that only Caesar be killed because it would benefit Rome. After these men leave, Portia comes to speak with her husband. She insists on finding out what's bothering him. He doesn't want to tell her but she says she deserves to know because she's his wife and they shouldn't have any secrets. But he says he should tell her one day, but not right away. Additionally, Caesar plans to go out that day, but his wife, Calphurnia, and a servant convince him to stay home because she dreamed that he would be killed. But Decius is a conspirator who comes to Caesar and gives a different interpretation of Calphurnia's dreams, and tricks Caesar into coming out. Caesar confronts the soothsayer and tells him that the Ides of March has arrived and that he is still there. But the soothsayer tells Caesar that the day is not yet over. Caesar goes on and meets... middle of paper... and why he is awake. When Brutus says he's just sick, Portia argues that because she's his wife and they're supposed to be partners, he should be able to tell her his concerns. In my monologue, Portia wants Brutus to realize that she is stronger than other women, that she is his devoted wife. By deliberately stabbing herself in the leg, she wants him to realize that she is strong and that he can be trusted with her secrets. After my monologue, Brutus responds by saying that he wishes he was good enough to have such an honorable wife and promises that he will soon explain to her what is going on, but for now, she had to go home because someone knocked on the door. Lucius brought Ligarius, a sick man, to his door. Ligarius said that because Brutus is so noble, he would do whatever Brutus wanted him to do. So all three leave to go to the Capitol to kill Caesar..
