EXPOSITION OF JULIUS CAESAR'S DRAMA

NAME : ALIFIA RAMADHANI (03020320040)

The exposition come when caesar just came from his win against pompey. Some Roman people are proud
and appreciate the results of his government, but some are afraid that he will become a dictator. some
nobles also envied his achievements such as Marullus and Flavius. Cassius began to look for parties to
revolt against Caesar's government, he began to provoke Cassius who still loved Rome and Caesr as a
leader, he also began to provoke other nobles. Anton is one of those on the Caesarean section

"Act I, Scene 1

A street in Rome"

"Flavius:

But why are you not in your shop today? Why do you lead these people through the streets?

Second Commoner:

Really, sir, to wear out their shoes, so I will have more

work. But actually, sir, we are taking the day off to see

Caesar and to celebrate his victory.

Marullus:

Why rejoice? What conquest does he bring home?

What captured prisoners follow him to Rome

Chained to the wheels of his chariot?

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!

O you hard hearts, you cruel people of Rome!

Marullus:

Can we do that?

You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

Flavius:

It doesn't matter. Let no statues

Be decorated with Caesar's trophies.

I'll go around

And scatter the rest of the commoners.

Do the same yourself wherever they are forming a crowd.

These growing feathers that we pull from Caesar's wing

Will make him fly at an ordinary height,

When otherwise he would soar too high to be seen

and keep us all under him and afraid."

Act I, Scene 2

"[A public place in Rome]

[A flourish of trumpets announces the approach of Caesar.

A large crowd of Commoners has assembled; a

Soothsayer is among them. Enter Caesar; his wife,

Calpurnia; Portia; Decius; Cicero; Brutus; Cassius;

Casca; and Antony, who is stripped down in preparation

for running in the games.]"

"Brutus:

What does this shouting mean? I am afraid the people

Choose Caesar to be their king.

Cassius:

Ay, are you afraid of it?

Then I must believe that you don't want it to happen.

Brutus:

I don't want it, Cassius, but Caesar is my good friend.

But why do you keep me here so long?

What is it that you want to tell me?

If it is anything concerning the good of Rome,

Put honor on one side and death on the other,

And I will face either one;

For let the gods give me good fortune only if I love

The name of honor more than I fear death."

"Antonius:

Caesar?

Caesar:

Let me have men around me who are fat, Sleek-headed men, and men that sleep at night.

Cassius, over there, has a lean and hungry look;

He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

Antonius:

Don't be afraid of him, Caesar; he's not dangerous.

He is a noble Roman, and your supporter.

Caesar:

I wish he were fatter! But I am not afraid of him.

Still, if I were the sort of person who became afraid, I do not know the man I would avoid as soon as that
spare Cassius.

"Casca:

You pulled me by the cloak. Do you wish to speak with me?

"Caesar:

Who is in the crowd that calls on me?

I hear a voice shriller than all the music

Cry "Caesar!" Speak. Caesar is turned to hear.

Soothsayer:

Beware the ides of March.

Caesar:

Who is that?

Brutus:

A soothsayer tells you to beware the ides of March.

Caesar:
Put him in front of me; let me see his face.

Cassius:

Fellow, come out of the crowd; look at Caesar.

Caesar:

What do you say to me now? Say it one more time

Soothsayer:

Beware the ides of March.

Caesar:

He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass

CLIMAX OF JULIUS CAESAR’S PLAY

NAME: ANANDA GUNAWAN (03020320041)

The climax of this play is happen after the noblemen Julius Caesar was killed by the conspirator, that led
by Cassius and Brutus. After that tragedy, Mark anthony, which is Caesar’s bestfriend made a speech in
public that open their eyes, they became very angry to who were killed the noblemen Caesar, and mark
anthony was praised rather than brutus, until it became the war between brutus’s alliance against anthony’s
alliance.

All: Quiet! Let us hear him.

Antony: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil things that men do live on after them;

The good things are often buried with their bones.

Let it be this way with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Has told you that Caesar was ambitious.

If that were true, it was a terrible fault,

And Caesar has paid for it terribly.

Here, with the permission of Brutus and the rest

 (For Brutus is an honorable man;

So are they all, all honorable men),

I come to speak in Caesar's funeral.

He has brought many captives home to Rome,

Whose ransoms filled the government treasury.

Did this seem ambitious in Caesar?

Whenever the poor have cried, Caesar has wept;

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honorable man.

You all saw that on the Lupercal

I offered him a kingly crown three times,

Which he refused three times. Was this ambition?

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And surely he is an honorable man.

I am speaking not to disprove what Brutus said,

But I am here to say what I do know.

You all loved him once, for good reasons.

What reason keeps you from mourning for him, then?

O judgment, you have run away to dumb animals,

And men have lost their intelligence! Bear with me,

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause until it comes back to me.

First Citizen: It seems that what he says makes sense.

Second Citizen: If you think about this correctly, Caesar has been treated

very badly.
 The resolution of Julius Caesar’s play

Name : Diajeng Ayu Sukma Nita

NIM : 03010320012

In Shakespeare's classic play Julius Caesar, the resolution takes place when Octavius and

Antony defeat Brutus and Cassius's army at the Battle of Phillipi. In the final scene of the
play, Brutus knows that Octavius and Antony will win the battle and instructs Strato to hold
his sword

Cassius
And let us swear our resolution.
Marcus Brutus
No, not an oath! If not the face of men,
The sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse—
If these be motives weak, break off betimes,
And every man hence to his idle bed;
So let high-sighted tyranny range on,
Till each man drop by lottery. But if these
(As I am sure they do) bear fire enough
To kindle cowards, and to steel with valor
The melting spirits of women, then, countrymen,
What need we any spur but our own cause
To prick us to redress? What other bond
Than secret Romans, that have spoke the word
And will not palter? And what other oath
Than honesty to honesty engag'd
That this shall be, or we will fall for it?
Swear priests and cowards, and men cautelous,
Old feeble carrions, and such suffering souls
That welcome wrongs; unto bad causes swear
Such creatures as men doubt; but do not stain
The even virtue of our enterprise,
Nor th' insuppressive mettle of our spirits,
To think that or our cause or our performance
Did need an oath; when every drop of blood
That every Roman bears, and nobly bears,
Is guilty of a several bastardy,
If he do break the smallest particle
Of any promise that hath pass'd from him

CONFLICT AND RAISING ACTION

• There were some who believed Caesar was a tyrant And would abuse his power

• Many senators, however, resent Caesar for having so Much power. Some senators begin
to conspire, such As Cassius and Brutus.

• Brutus must choose between his country or his friend Caesar. His love for his country wins
out and joins the Conspiracy.

Scene II

Brutus
Shall Rome stand under one man's awe? What, Rome? My ancestors did from the streets of
Rome The Tarquin drive, when he was call'd a king. 'Speak, strike, redress!' Am I entreated
To speak and strike? O Rome, I make thee promise:

LUCIUS

Sir, March is wasted fourteen days

BRUTUS

'Tis good. Go to the gate; somebody knocks.

Since Cassius first did whet me against Caesar,

I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim
is
Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in
council; and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an
insurrection.

LUCIUS

Sir, 'tis your brother Cassius at the door,

Who doth desire to see you.

BRUTUS

Is he alone?

LUCIUS

No, sir, there are moe with him.

BRUTUS

Do you know them?

LUCIUS

No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears,

And half their faces buried in their cloaks,
That by no means I may discover them
By any mark of favour.

BRUTUS

They are the faction. O conspiracy,

Shamest thou to show thy dangerous brow by night,
When evils are most free? O, then by day
Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough
To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy;
Hide it in smiles and affability:
For if thou path, thy native semblance on,
Not Erebus itself were dim enough
To hide thee from prevention.

CASSIUS

I think we are too bold upon your rest:

Good morrow, Brutus; do we trouble you?

BRUTUS

I have been up this hour, awake all night.

Know I these men that come along with you?
CASSIUS

Yes, every man of them, and no man here

But honours you; and every one doth wish
You had but that opinion of yourself
Which every noble Roman bears of you.
This is Trebonius.

BRUTUS

He is welcome hither.

CASSIUS

This, Decius Brutus.

BRUTUS

He is welcome too.

CASSIUS

This, Casca; this, Cinna; and this, Metellus Cimber.

BRUTUS

They are all welcome.

What watchful cares do interpose themselves
Betwixt your eyes and night?

CASSIUS

Shall I entreat a word?

DECIUS BRUTUS

Here lies the east: doth not the day break here?

CASCA

No.

CINNA

O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines

That fret the clouds are messengers of day.

CASCA
You shall confess that you are both deceived. Here, as I point my sword, the sun arises,
Which is a great way growing on the south, Weighing the youthful season of the year. Some
two months hence up higher toward the north He first presents his fire; and the high east
Stands, as the Capitol, directly here.

BRUTUS

Give me your hands all over, one by one.

CASSIUS

And let us swear our resolution.

BRUTUS

No, not an oath: if not the face of men,The sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse,--If
these be motives weak, break off betimes,And every man hence to his idle bed;So let high-
sighted tyranny range on, Till each man drop by lottery. But if these, As I am sure they do,
bear fire enoughTo kindle cowards and to steel with valour The melting spirits of women,
then, countrymen,
What need we any spur but our own cause, To prick us to redress? what other bond han
secret Romans, that have spoke the word, And will not palter? and what other oath Than
honesty to honesty engaged, That this shall be, or we will fall for it? Swear priests and
cowards and men cautelous, Old feeble carrions and such suffering souls That welcome
wrongs; unto bad causes swear
Such creatures as men doubt; but do not stain The even virtue of our enterprise, Nor the
insuppressive mettle of our spirits, To think that or our cause or our performance Did need
an oath; when every drop of blood That every Roman bears, and nobly bears, Is guilty of a
severalbastardy,
If he do break the smallest particle Of any promise that hath pass'd from him.

CASSIUS

But what of Cicero? shall we sound him?

I think he will stand very strong with us.

CASCA

Let us not leave him out.

CINNA

No, by no means.

METELLUS CIMBER
O, let us have him, for his silver hairs Will purchase us a good opinion And buy men's voices
to commend our deeds: It shall be said, his judgment ruled our hands; Our youths and
wildness shall no whit appear,But all be buried in his gravity.

BRUTUS

O, name him not: let us not break with him; For he will never follow any thing
That other men begin.

CASSIUS

Then leave him out.

CASCA

Indeed he is not fit.

DECIUS BRUTUS

Shall no man else be touch'd but only Caesar?

CASSIUS

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.

BRUTUS

Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius, To cut the head off and then hack the limbs,
Like wrath in death and envy afterwards; For Antony is but a limb of Caesar: Let us be
sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar; And in the
spirit of men there is no blood:O, that we then could come by Caesar's spirit, And not
dismember Caesar! But, alas, Caesar must bleed for it! And, gentle friends, Let's kill him
boldly, but not wrathfully; Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Not hew him as a carcass
fit for hounds: And let our hearts, as subtle masters do, Stir up their servants to an act of
rage, And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make Our purpose necessary and not envious:
Which so appearing to the common eyes, We shall be call'd purgers, not murderers.And for
Mark Antony, think not of him; For he can do no more than Caesar's arm When Caesar's
head is off.

CASSIUS

Yet I fear him; For in the ingrafted love he bears to Caesar--

BRUTUS
Alas, good Cassius, do not think of him: If he love Caesar, all that he can do Is to himself,
take thought and die for Caesar: And that were much he should; for he is given To sports, to
wildness and much company.

TREBONIUS

There is no fear in him; let him not die; For he will live, and laugh at this hereafter.

BRUTUS

Peace! count the clock.

CASSIUS

The clock hath stricken three.

TREBONIUS

'Tis time to part.

CASSIUS

But it is doubtful yet, Whether Caesar will come forth to-day, or no; For he is superstitious
grown of late, Quite from the main opinion he held once Of fantasy, of dreams and
ceremonies: It may be, these apparent prodigies, The unaccustom'd terror of this night, And
the persuasion of his augurers, May hold him from the Capitol to-day.

DECIUS BRUTUS

Never fear that: if he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear That unicorns
may be betray'd with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils
and men with flatterers; But when I tell him he hates flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flattered. Let me work; For I can give his humour the true
bent,And I will bring him to the Capitol.

CASSIUS

Nay, we will all of us be there to fetch him.

BRUTUS

By the eighth hour: is that the uttermost?

CINNA

Be that the uttermost, and fail not then.

METELLUS CIMBER
Caius Ligarius doth bear Caesar hard, Who rated him for speaking well of Pompey: I wonder
none of you have thought of him.

BRUTUS

Now, good Metellus, go along by him: He loves me well, and I have given him reasons;
Send him but hither, and I'll fashion him.

CASSIUS

The morning comes upon 's: we'll leave you, Brutus. And, friends, disperse yourselves; but
all remember What you have said, and show yourselves true Romans.

BRUTUS

Good gentlemen, look fresh and merrily; Let not our looks put on our purposes,
But bear it as our Roman actors do, With untired spirits and formal constancy: And so good
morrow to you every one. Exeunt all but BRUTUS

Boy! Lucius! Fast asleep? It is no matter; Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber: Thou hast
no figures nor no fantasies, Which busy care draws in the brains of men;
Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.

PORTIA

Brutus, my lord!

BRUTUS

Portia, what mean you? wherefore rise you now? It is not for your health thus to commit
Your weak condition to the raw cold morning. The unaccustom'd terror of this night,
And the persuasion of his augurers, May hold him from the Capitol to-day.

DECIUS BRUTUS

Never fear that: if he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear That unicorns
may be betray'd with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils
and men with flatterers; But when I tell him he hates flatterers, He says he does, being then
most flattered. Let me work; For I can give his humour the true bent,And I will bring him to
the Capitol.

CASSIUS

Nay, we will all of us be there to fetch him.

BRUTUS

By the eighth hour: is that the uttermost?

CINNA

Be that the uttermost, and fail not then.

METELLUS CIMBER

Caius Ligarius doth bear Caesar hard, Who rated him for speaking well of Pompey: I wonder
none of you have thought of him.

BRUTUS

Now, good Metellus, go along by him: He loves me well, and I have given him reasons;
Send him but hither, and I'll fashion him.

CASSIUS

The morning comes upon 's: we'll leave you, Brutus. And, friends, disperse yourselves; but
all remember What you have said, and show yourselves true Romans.

BRUTUS

Good gentlemen, look fresh and merrily; Let not our looks put on our purposes,
But bear it as our Roman actors do, With untired spirits and formal constancy: And so good
morrow to you every one. Boy! Lucius! Fast asleep? It is no matter; Enjoy the honey-heavy
dew of slumber: Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies, Which busy care draws in the brains
ofmen;
Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.

PORTIA

Brutus, my lord!

BRUTUS

Portia, what mean you? wherefore rise you now? It is not for your health thus to commit
Your weak condition to the raw cold morning.

The Falling Action (Adila Amalia Putri / 03020320036)

Portia is dead; Caesar's ghost appears. Brutus and Cassius make suicide.

When Brutus announced that Portia was dead, everyone noticed. That single change began
to explain Brutus's sense of uselessness in this battle. Caesar's ghost was useless, but Brutus
was brave as always, saying that he would see him when the ghost met. Cassius was also
poetic to himself because it was a birthday, so if he died now, his life would be fun. The two
friends reach a subtle agreement never to return to Rome helplessly, implying that they will
die before being overwhelmed. Now, the audience can be sure that they will resign at any
cost and die in an honorable way, even with their own hands.
Act 4

- Brutus' army wins 1st battle at Phillipi, but Cassius mistakes it as a loss

- Cassius commits suicide

- Brutus commits suicide and is given a "hero's memorial" by Caesar and Antony
