Brutus, Cassius, Ghost of Caeasar, Poet, Lucilius, Titinuis, Lucius, Messla, Varro __**Brutus' Tent**__ //Scene Summary //  This scene begins with Cassius and Brutus arguing. Brutus is mad at Cassius because he is taking bribes and so that nobody tells he also gives them money.At this point Brutus regrets killing Caesar because he killed Caesar because he was convinced by Cassius that Caesar would become a tryant and cruel ruler and just forget about him once he came into power. What Brutus does not know is that Cassius and the rest of the conspirators killed Caesar mostly because of their greed and jelousy not for the good of Rome, the people, or the government. Brutus and Cassius are fighting about who is the better solider. Brutus says to Cassius " You say you are a better solider: Let it appear so; make you vaunting(boasting) true, And it shall please me well. For mine own part, I shall be glad to learn of noble men." Brutus is telling Cassius come one let us duel the one left standing is the better solider" pg. 77 lines 51-54. Cassius does not really want to fight Brutus, he just wants Brutus to stop his 'madness.' Brutus tells Cassius that no matter what Cassius says to him, he is armored by his own truth. Cassius then tells Brutus " You love me not" pg 78 line 88, telling Brutus, you never loved me, and a friend does not look for another firend's faults, but for his strengths. Then Cassius tells his enemies to come and get him, because he does not have anything to live for anymore. After Cassius tells Brutus of his 'death sentence,' Brutus and Cassius make up again and, with no hatred in each others eyes, they are friends again. Brutus then proceeds to tell Cassius that Portia, Brutus' wife, killed herself by swallowing hot coals because she had not heard from her husband in a long time and did not know what was wrong with him. This put guilt on Cassius because he was going to fight Brutus without knowing what had happened. Cassius and Brutus decide to go on fighting, because they do not want to surrender. They then depart to go to sleep. Brutus dreams of Caesar's ghost, and the ghost tells Brutus that they will meet again at Philippi where the next battle was to be held. **__This showed that because Brutus killed Caesar, even though his intention was not to murder Caesar per se, but to do anything possible to look out for the good of Rome, he will die as well, perhaps because of Karma, or maybe because that was his fate.__** In this picture, Caesar's ghost has appeared to Brutus. This is a picture of Brutus and Cassius at Brutus's tent, discussing the plan of war.

**__Important Speeches__ **
//1."Come, Antony, and young Octavius, come, Revenge yourselves alone on Cassius For Cassius is a weary of the world: Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother; Checked like a bondman; all his faults observed, Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote to cast into my teeth. O, I could weep My spirit from my eyes! There is my dagger, And here my naked breast; within, a heart Dearer than Pluto's mine, Richer than gold; If that though be'st a Roman, take it forth I, that denied thee gold, will give my heart. Strike as thou didst at Caesar; for i know, When thou lovedst him better Than ever though lovedst Cassius." // ( Signet Classics Julius Caesar)
 * Act 4 Scene 3 Lines 92-104 Page 79 **

In this speech Cassius, is saying that he deserves to die, because no one loves him, he has no one and nothing more, so he doesn't feel the need to live. The main reason he's saying this is to make Brutus feel guilty about yelling at him, even though he probably means some of what he said. Cassius didn't want to put his pride aside, but instead wanted Brutus to apologize first by making him feel bad.
 * __Speech Explanation__ **

Brutus //2. Remember March, the ides of March remember. Did not great Julius bleed for justice' sake? What villain touched his body, that did stab, And not for justice? What, shall one of us, That struck the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers, shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the might space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog, and bat the moon, Than such a Roman. //

__<span style="color: rgb(11,150,183);">**Speech Explanation** __ In this speech Brutus, is reminding Cassius about what happened on the ides of March and the reason for why they killed the great Julius Caesar. Brutus is standing up to Cassius and telling him why did we kill Caesar for the good of Rome, but here you are doing exactly what we were trying to prevent. Brutus is now rethinking about the wrong deed that they did and of all the consequences that came with that. Brutus also shows his great pride of being a Roman because he says he rather be a dog howling at the moon than be a Roman that takes bribes, protects dishonest people, and one that supports robbers.
