Here are your questions from today:
1. In l. 58-73, Caesar compares himself to something. Why is this comparison 'proof' Caesar will not change his mind?
2. What is the last thing Caesar sees as he dies? What tone can you detect in his last words? Explain.
3. In order to prevent chaos, what do the conspirators want to do?
4. In l. 123-137, Antony asks something of Brutus; what is it?
*5. Antony finally speaks in l. 148-163. What is he saying here? What difference do you detect in Antony when compared to the Antony in former acts?
6. What are the conditions in which Brutus is allowing Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral? Who disagrees with this rationale and why?
*7. What does Antony reveal in his soliloquy?
8. Who is Octavius, and what is his 'role' in Antony's plan? (Why does this guy matter?)
You missed reading 3.1 today, and your questions. Your only homework is to finish these questions.
EC opportunity!
l. 111, Cassius says:
Stoop then, and wash. How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!
What is ironic about these lines?

I think something that is ironic about the line is that Cassius is exspressing how he doesn't like what happened when he was one of the main men that had the idea of killing Caesar.
I'm lovin' the old english drama. It's really cool just how much people haven't changed.
