Song/Lyrics Assignment

This video relates to our topic betrayal because in this video, Bruno Mars is singing about how he'll go through all the pain and suffering for a girl he loves, but she wouldn't do the same for him. He felt betrayed by her because he had seen her with another guy and so he was hurt by the girl he once loved.

In the play, Julius Caesar, Cassius and the other conspirators plot against Julius Caesar by planning to betray and kill Caesar. Cassius immidiately stated to Brutus - in Act 1 - that Caesar wasn't the right man to be crowned king, since he concluded that Caesar is falling ill. He also stated to Brutus that he, Cassius, had rescued Caesar from the river and explains how Caesar doesn't act like a man. He tries to convince Brutus - whom he knows that Brutus and Caesar are close friends - to come to their side by giving him a letter which was sent by Casca which had stated a certain date, March 15 - as it was first heard when the Soothsayer told Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March" - and that Cassius would meet with Brutus at Brutus' house, along with the other conspirators.

Julius Caesar
Must die of revenge from loss
Lifetime grudges held.

After fought against
No one can be trusted by
He shall be so mad.

Cassius is prude
He shall always be intrigued
Enemies will fail.

Quote Assignment

Cinna “O Cassisu if you could but win Brutus to our party—

Cassius “Be you content. Good Cinna take this paper And look you lay it in the Praetors chair where Brutus may say.

When Julius Ceaser rose to power he betrayed the principals of the republic while creating many powerful enemies most whom resided in the Senate. The conversation between Cinna and Cassius shows the discontent that was brewing in the senate. It also foreshadows the plot that was hatched and the later execution of Julius Ceaser.

This is significant because it shows how Cinna and Cassius are truly devoted to the republic. They will undoubtedly betray Ceaser to restore the republic. This foreshadowing of the future betrayal is the most important part of this passage.

By: King Arthur

Acrostic

“Be you content, Good Cinna, take this paper.”
Everyone will meet on Pompey’s porch
Turn Brutus to our side
Revenge will be sought on to Caesar.
Am I not prepared to die rather than let Caesar be king
You see Caesar is not the God he’s believed to be
“And look you lay it in the practor’s chair where
Brutus may but find it.”
“Like richest alchemy, will change to
Virtue and to worthiness.”
