Just as our beloved Caesar was persuaded to throw the cloak of kinghood about his mighty shoulders, tragedy struck. Under the clever guise of a council meeting, the conspirators lured Caesar to the Senate House, alone and friendless. There he fell into the spiders’ cleverly woven nets, was betrayed, and murdered. Questions arise from numb lips; why was it Markus Brutus, Caesar’s most loyal friend and advisor who betrayed him? Why-or better, how-was Markus Brutus persuaded to join in the plot of Caesar’s death? A palace servant was found moments after Caesar’s death, trembling with his head in his hands. He wept silently, tears sliding down his face. He was interviewed, and from him we discovered the grisly tale of Caesar’s murder. Decius Brutus, not to be confused with Markus Brutus, traveled to Caesar, where he found the noble man speaking with his beloved wife, Calphurnia.

Decius Brutus, not to be confused with Markus Brutus, traveled to Caesar, where he found the noble man speaking with his beloved wife, Calphurnia. Calphur nia begged Caesar not to go to the Senate house, telling him of a dream that surely came from the gods. She told of watching a fountain with an hundred spouts pouring out Caesar’s lifeblood, and Romans bathing in it, smiling as it dripped from their hands onto their spotless white togas. In telling her dream, Calphurnia knelt in front of Caesar, weeping, begging him to stay at home. Caesar was persuaded at last, but Decius Brutus entered and assured Caesar that Calphurnia’s prophetic dream was not what it seemed to be. Her dream portrayed how Caesar was the lifeblood of Rome, so Decius said. There was nothing to worry about. Caesar should not let his wife’s foolish fears keep him away from his duty. Caesar’s pride kept him from seeing through wicked Decius’s words. Caesar followed Decius like a cow led docilely to the butcher. It is unknown from this point on what happened, but evidence of many knife wounds on his body indicate he was stabbed. Caesar’s funeral was held yesterday in the town square. Brutus spoke in Caesar’s honor. These were his words: nia begged Caesar not to go to the Senate house, telling him of a dream that surely came from the gods.

Brutus spoke in Caesar’s honor. These were his words: “Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my Cause, and be silent that you may hear. Believe me For mine honor, and have respect to mine honor That you may believe………. If there be any in this assembly, any dear Friends of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus’ love To Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend Demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my Answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and Die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all Freemen? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him. As he Was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was valiant, I Honor him. But, as he was ambitious, I slew him.” (con’t on back) There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor For his valor, and death for his ambition.
