Julius Caesar4

A detailed Summary of Julius Caesar4

Summary Two patricians Flavius and Marcullus enter. They are confused by the fact that the plebeians are not in their work clothes, and begin to ask some plebeians what their jobs are. A carpenter admits he is a carpenter. Next Marcullus asks a cobbler what his job is, and the cobbler answers in a series of puns ("souls" / "soles"), ("withal" / "with awl"). The cobbler explains that everyone is taking the day off to celebrate Caesar's victory over Pompey. Marcullus, in high rhetoric, insults the plebeians for being fickle, since they very recently all liked Pompey. He tells them all to go back home and feel very sorry for dishonoring Pompey's memory. The plebeians leave. Flavius suggests that the two of them take down all of the pro-Caesar decorations. Marcullus is worried about getting into trouble since it is the feast of Luprecal after all. Flavius insists, and recommends they that drive all of the plebeians out of the streets. Finally he comments that they must do something to humble Caesar or else he would put himself so far above other men as to make them all slaves.

Summary Caesar and his party enter. Caesar asks that his wife Calpurnia stand in Antony's way and

Summary Brutus is trying to convince various members of his army to help him kill himself. No one agrees saying that they might still win, and that it isn't a nice thing to ask a friend. Everyone runs because Antony and Octavius are coming. After saying his good-byes to life, Brutus gets one of his servants Strato to hold his sword while he runs into it. Antony and Octavius enter with Lucilius and Messala captive. Octavius says any of Brutus' servants can serve him now. With Messala's permission Strato become Octavius servant.
