Excerpt from In a Recital of Shakespeare's Historical Tragedy, "Julius Caesar"A street in Rome. The tribunes, Flavius and Marrullus, disperse a throng of citizens assembled to do honor to Cmsar. Marrullus charges the Romans with fickleness and inconstancy. F lavius counsels them to break off their allegiance to Caesar. Grand square in Rome. The procession of Julius Caesar on its way to the sports of the Lupercal - the festival of shepherds. Antony enters ready for the course. The soothsayer's prediction. Brutus refuses to witness the sports. Cassius charges him with waning confidence and cooling friendship. Brutus attributes his apparent estrangement to prolonged meditation on the condition of the people and the devising of means for their betterment. Bru tus yields to Cassius' persuasive arguments and ¿attery, and promises to engage in any movement which will conspire toward the general good Cassius' actions give cause for Cmsar's uneasiness. The incident of Caesar's refusal of the crown (after being convinced that he could not accept it without incurring the enmity of a majority of the Romans) fully recounted by Casca. Brutus ap points a time for a second meeting with Cassius, who chuckles over the easy conquest of Brutus and the prospect of Caesar's speedy downfall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
