Julius Caesar refuses the crown 3 ttime, nevertheless he is crowned.
-
Caesar was offered a crown(thrown) but he denied it three times. Ironically, the crown stayed in contact with his hand the whole time.
It seems to me that Caesar is testing the citizens and the senates to see how much he is desired.
We can also see how powerful words can be despite our small actions. (private vs. public self) (power of speech) (submitted by Yeajin) -

Pomey's defeat in the war agaisnt Caesar. A shift in power to a dictatorship in Rome. The power tilt over to Caesar over Pompey. Contrast between Pompey and Caesar, later on Caesar is defeated by other's desire for power too. Commoners easily change their support from Pompey to Caesar, Majority Rules, Commoners sway in power, no loyalty.

Portia asks Brutus the cause of his grief and appeals to him.
"....Am I your self But as if were in sort of limitation to keep with you at meals, comfort your bed, and talk to you sometimes?" (rhetorical questions) "Think you I am no stronger than my sex." (culture=men>women)
Brutus treats Portia more equally than Caesar&Calpurnia. (Public vs. Private/ Brutus ignores his private feelings/life for the public/ "honor of Rome" (huge mistake))

Caesar sees strange omens in Rome and in his dream. He ignores Calphurnia's interpretation of omens and believe Brutus's interpretations (staying in house = afraid).

Antony gives a speech to the Romans with Ceasar's dead body infront of them. He starts off simply talking about how Ceasar and Brutas are/were but then he changes it to talking about how awesome Cearsar was and he left money for the Romans in his will and how Brutas brutally betrayed his best friend.
-
Artemidorus writes letter to warn Caesar that the conspirators are suspicious.
written by Daniel -
Caesar doesn't read Artemidorus's letter and enters the Senate House. This proves that Caesar's public self is occupied by his private self.

Cinna the poet was walking through the city and the citizens got suspicious of him, followed him, and asked his name. When Cinna told them his name, they suddenly burst into anger. Eventually, they beat him to death even though he tried to tell them he was not Cinna the conspirator (Misinterpretation). By Chris Hong
-
When conspirators beg Caesaer to bring back banished Pubilius Cimber, Caesar refuses. Caesar describes himself, "constant as the Northern star/ Of whose true fixed and resting quality/ There is no fellow in the firmament." He also said that, "That I was constant Cimber should be banish'd, and constant do remain to keep him so." This means that Caesar will most likely to become a tyrant because he said he will stick to his belief. (Power = Corruption) (Caesar failed the final test!) By Chris Hong

After Brtus's speech to the commoners, Antony says to them that what Brutus and the conspirators did was not for Rome, but a murder.
-
Antony talks to Caesar's dead body and apologizes for his gentleness to the conspirators."dumb mouths ,,,to beg the voice& utterance of my tongue" (imagery/symoblism- Caesar's dead body desires to spread the truth) (Antony's Private vs. Public) "Caesar's spirits.." (foreshadows appearance of Caesar's spirit/revenge to all) Curses, foreshadows chaos in Rome.
(By Brandon) -
Antony starts his clever plan by convincing the conspirators that he is now on their side; getting rid of any slight suspicion. He shook their hands and talked about how sad Caesar will be when Caesar sees Antony's betrayal.
-
Antony gives his speech to the Romans infront of Ceasar's dead body. He starts out simply as a goodbye speech to Ceasar but then turns it around against the conspirators. He says that Ceasar was noble and humble and gives examples of the rejection of the crown. He also says that Cearsa left money for the commoners in his will and that Brutas and Ceasar were good friends but Brutas betrayed his friend.
-
After Brutus realizes the fact that Cassius had taken a bribe, they had their first big argument in the tent. This means a lot because it is their first fight and it might have affected the both of them in some way. (James)
-
Brutus. Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
Unto the legions on the other side.
[Loud alarum]
Let them set on at once; for I perceive
But cold demeanor in Octavius' wing,
And sudden push gives them the overthrow.
Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. In other words, CHAAAARGEE
Or, "LEEEEEEROOOOY JEEEEEEENKINS!"

Brutus commits suicide and kills himself because he wanted to die honorably
-
Cassius, misinterpreting everything, commits suicide because he thought he was losing in the battle.
-
Cassius commits suicide by thinking that Titinius was captured so Titinus feels sorry for Cassius so he decides to kill himself as well.

War between conspirators and Mark Antony and Octavius ended.

"You shall not stir our of your house today" - CalpurniaCalpurnia told Caesar to stay home because she had seen many signs that something bad will happened to Caesar such as, “A lioness hath whelped in the streets”, “And graves have yawn’d, and yielded up their dead”, and “In ranks and sqadrons and right form of war, which drizzled blood upon the Capitol”. (By: Sorn)
-
Caesar told Calpurnia that, “What can be avoided who end is pruposed by the mighty god? Yet Caesar sahll go forth, for these predictions”. Which reflects in the theme of public vs. private because he doesn’t embarressed myself in from of the Roman’s citizens just because he listens to what his wife says. It also shows the believes of destiny in that age and he also believe that people cannot change their fate and god had set everything for him. (By: Sorn)
-
Caesar is ready to go to the senate, but his wife asked him not to go. Because she dreamed someting bad from Caesar , but Caesae said he can't afraid this , and Brutus change this explain for Caesae . He is already dead. (by,Crystal)
-
The fighting between Brutus and Cassius heats up. In the peak of the fighting, Finally, he offered Brutus his unsheathed a dagger.
-
Brutus was talking to Cassius about the death of his wife. He seemed to really respect his wife, unlike how Caesar treate Calpurnia. This shows that the difference in gender role at this period depends on how much you respect and care for each other.
-
Brutus tries to go to sleep but awakes from the Ghost of Caesar. The ghost says that he'll see Brutus at Philippi. This thus foreshadows Brutus's death at Philippi. This also shows some element of misinterpretation for the ghost may actual be Caesar's spirit, or it may simply be Brutus's imagination coming from his guilt of killing Caesar.
