Act III Scene III

Cinna: "Truly, my name is Cinna."
First plebian: "Tear him to pieces! He's a conspirator."
Cinna: "I am the poet, I am Cinna the poet!"
Fourth plebian: "Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses!"
Cinna: "I am not Cinna the conspirator!''
Fourth plebian: It is no matter, his name is Cinna ."


This is a very meaningful passage because ..they finally realized that this Cinna might have been telling the truth ..but it was too late. So just the fact that his name was Cinna got them mad because..HISNAMEWASCINNA.  Everyone makes mistakes but these NORMAL everyday ppeople think they have the right to just kill somebody because they didnt like their name or because  u have the name of a conpirator. Did they have that right??

Why are these people killing people like that??
What makes them special??
I really truly dont have better questions, not much for me to ask.
Sorry..

Act III Scene II

1. "If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more.

2. I think this is very meaningful because this shows alot about him. This here tells me that I do not want to be this man's friend because if I disrespect Rome or the people ..I feel he is most likley to kill me.

3. Questions:

"Here comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony, who, though he had no hand  in his death, shall recieve the benefit of his dying....
What is this trying to say?? Im confused.. I mean I think the first part is He had nothing to do with this , but what is the part where said Benefit??

Where did the PLEBEIANS come from?? Who are they?? Why are they there??

You guys know how they be saying Dip your hands in Caesar's blood.. Do they really do that or is it just an expression??

"Whose daggers have stabbed Caesar; I do fear it."
Weren't Daggers a type of pistols?
                                                        AND............
Has anyone heard from Karen ??

Act III Scene I

  1. Caesar [to the Soothsayer]  "The ides of March are come."
Soothsayer "Ay, Caesar, but not gone."  (pg 87)green book

    2. This passage is very important because we now know its here. March 15th, is finally here. Caesar now tells the Soothsayer, ok its here now what. A response of "but not gone" is This day hasn't ended yet, its only the begining. 

    3. Why did Artemidorus insist so much on having Caesar read his schedule first?
         I thought Brutus wanted to kill him? Why did Casca go for it first? Did I miss something ?
