“Caesar, beware of Brutus. Take heed of Cassius. Come not near Casca. Have an eye to Cinna. Trust not Trebonius. Mark well Metellus Cimber. Decius Brutus loves thee not. Thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar.

The first part of the scene has an ominous effect on the scene because the person saying it warns Caesar about the other characters in the scene. He is being told not to trust anyone who he thinks is his friends. This is shown in the part of the speech above. He says to ‘beware of Brutus’ and ‘have an eye to Cinna.’ He is told to keep an eye on Cinna and beware of Brutus as if they are preparing a conspiracy, which they are. At the end the person says ‘There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar.’ This is saying that the people he just mentioned all have the same plan as each other for Caesar and don’t like Caesar, we know this because after that it says ‘and its bent against Caesar’. This means that they may not like Caesar or they are against Caesar.

The rest of the text I did not notice anything relevant or I did not understand it.

What sort of man is Caesar?

Caesar is a man who doesn’t not want to look like a coward, he is a brave man. He believed his wife when she told him about her dream. When Decius says his opinion, Caesar changes his mind and calls Calpurnia a fool for fearing her dream.(How foolish do your fears seem now).He says he is ashamed that he believed them and Calpurnia is maybe making him look like a coward.(I am ashamed I did yield to them). When he says ‘How foolish do your fears seem now’ it makes itsound like he did not believe her in the first place and is trying to find a reason to be annoyed with her.
