What to Focus On

  • Caesar ignores multiple warnings on the Ides of March
  • The petition for Publius Cimber serves as the pretext for the assassination
  • Caesar's speech about being constant as the North Star reveals his pride

  • Brutus uses logical, prose-based arguments to justify the assassination
  • Brutus appeals to Roman values of freedom and republicanism
  • Antony uses poetic language, rhetoric, and emotional manipulation

  • Cinna the poet becomes a victim of mistaken identity
  • The mob's violence is irrational and uncontrolled
  • Antony's manipulation has consequences beyond his intentions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Brutus is the clear hero of the play and his assassination of Caesar is completely justified and morally right

Antony's funeral speech simply uses better rhetoric tricks than Brutus, making it more persuasive through superior speaking skills alone

The Roman crowd are simply stupid, gullible people who change their minds easily because they cannot think for themselves

Memory Tips

Caesar ignores the Soothsayer's warning about the Ides of March

The assassination sequence - Casca strikes first, then others, Brutus last

Caesar compares himself to the North Star - constant and unmovable

Antony's funeral speech strategy - praise Brutus while undermining him
