Julius Caesar



1. Brutus and the conspirators are about to assassinate Caesar. All the conspirators are spread out around Caesar and are trying to get him to re-appeal the sentence that he gave to Metellus Cimber’s brother Publius Cimber meanwhile Casca is sneaking up behind Caesar.


2. This passage is important because it shows how high Caesar thinks he is. Caesar reveals a lot about himself in this passage that is why I think it is significant. This is also one of Caesar’s last self comparisons which makes the reader/ viewer feel unremorseful about his imminent and untimely death.


3. The passage is in act 3 scene 1 Lines 58- 71.

4. I could be well moved, if I were as you:

If I could pray to move, prayers would move me:

But I am constant as the northern star,

Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality

There is no fellow in the firmament.

The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks,

They are all fire and every one doth shine,

But there's but one in all doth hold his place:

So in the world; 'tis furnish'd well with men,

And men are flesh and blood, and apprehensive;

Yet in the number I do know but one

That unassailable holds on his rank,

Unshaked of motion: and that I am he,

Let me a little show it, even in this;

That I was constant Cimber should be banish'd,

And constant do remain to keep him so.

5. I am not part of a duet.
