Brutus, Caesar's beloved and trusted friend, kills Caesar - literally backstabs him - in Act III, scene i.
But Caesar was warned and did not heed the call because he trusted Brutus, believed in him, poured all his hope into him. Nobody listened to the soothsayer..."He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass."
That's pretty interesting if you ask me...today is March 15th.
To the 5%.

"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one..."
- Who is it in the press that calls on me? 100
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.
- Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.
- Caesar. What man is that?
- Brutus. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.105
- Caesar. Set him before me; let me see his face.
- Cassius. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
- Caesar. What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.
- Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.
- Caesar. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.
But Brutus is an honorable man

ReplyDeleteMy sister is beyond upsessed with Shakespeare. Sometimes I get annoyed when she quotes all his books over and over again.
ReplyDeletespooky ...
ReplyDelete"Imagine no possessions
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world"
Pretty synchronic how Lennon's lyrics also align with Singers Argument... hmm
Brutus was both one of histories great men in what he stood for or perhaps is worst depending on who you talk to.
ReplyDeleteIn Dante's Inferno he resides in the depth of hell forever being chewed by satan for betrayal
In gullivers travels he considered virtues and benevolent for standing up for democracy over dictatorship.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
ReplyDeleteSad how relevant this is...
