Hola fellow Spartans. I'm back for my 2nd blog post for this quarter. If you have not yet read my first post the book that i have choose to read is Julius Caesar by none other then William Shakespeare him self. After leaving you guys last time I had ended at Act II scene I.
So I shall start from where I left off. Julius is found walking around his room being kept up from sleeping because of his wife's nightmares about his murder. So he sends for a priest to give a sacrifice. Calpurnia now advises that Caesar does not leave his palace. Caesar replies by saying nothing can change the mind of the gods. The servant sent to get the priest returns and says the priest advises he stays inside. But even that doesn't change his mind in thinking he is safe. Decius comes in to get Caesar for the senate meeting but instead he decides to stay home.
In the next scene we read Caesar has decided to meet the council on the streets that night. The group then quickly enters the Senate because they fear the killer is watching them. To start off the meeting Metellus request his brother be back allowed in Rome but Julius denies it. others come up to plea his come back and as Julius says his lasts words he is killed. Trebonius quickly comes in and says Antony say fled. a message from Antony comes in saying even though he respects Caesar he would prefer to be ruled under Metellus's brother. Now that Julius is dead his brother is ruler and so Antony request that he may speak at Caesar's funeral. and it is excepted. Instead in the end of the scene Julius's son is appointed ruler.
In the next scene the funeral goes as plan. Then a poet named Cinna walks threw the streets and is killed because he is mistaken to be the man who had predicted the death of Caesar .
That is all the farther I have read so far and I think that the book so far is a very good book but considering its in the form of a play it can be hard to read. My Favorite quote in this part is "Et tu, Brute?" because it is the last words said in the book by Caesar . And my question is how will Rome be ran?
hmmmmmmmm interesting!!!
