Act 2 Scene 1

Tough Questions

Will Cassius get or want any power after Caesar death.

Will Portia try and stop Brutus and his group from killing Caesar in some way?

Will killing Caesar really make a difference in society and is that best choice that they could make?

A-Ha Moments

Portia stabs herself in the thigh to try and prove a point to Brutus that she can be tough and take pain.

Brutus goes against Cassius on the idea that they should kill Antony also and he believes that would be overkill.

When Portia is upset that Brutus will not tell her his secret on how he is going to murder Caesar and claims that she is wife and is just as important as him.

Again and Again

The phrase "I am just a bit sick" from Brutus keeps coming up from him when he talks to Portia.

There is the repeated image in out into your mind of death of Caesar and then later for a short time is Antony.

Words of the Wise

Brutus says, "But for the general. He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there’s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder... And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg— Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous— And kill him in the shell. A.2 S.1 Page 1-2

Cassius says, "Decius, well urged. I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, Should outlive Caesar. We shall find of him A shrewd contriver. And, you know, his means, If he improve them, may well stretch so far As to annoy us all; which to prevent, Let Antony and Caesar fall together." A.2 S.1 Page 8

Portia says, "I grant I am a woman, but withal A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife. I grant I am a woman, but withal A woman well-reputed, Cato’s daughter. Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Being so fathered and so husbanded? Tell me your counsels. I will not disclose 'em. I have made strong proof of my constancy, Giving myself a voluntary wound Here in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience, And not my husband’s secrets?" A.2 S.1 page 13

Memory Moment

Portia talked to Brutus about how that night before they had gone to bed and she had asked him what was wrong and he would not tell her and now she got upset because she thinks that she deserves to know. They had talked that night during what you would call pillow talk.
