Description

Brutus paces in his study, unable to sleep. His wife, Portia, enters and begs him to tell her why he’s so troubled. He does his best to comfort her and tells her he’ll explain everything later. Caius Ligarius, an ailing Senator, enters to meet with Brutus, who convinces him to join the assassination plot. Caesar has a hard night as well. His wife, Calphurnia, tells him of terrible dreams she’s been having about his murder and says they are omens for Caesar not to go out of the house. When Decius arrives to accompany Caesar to the Temple, Caesar explains that he is staying home on account of Calphurnia’s dreams. Decius tells him that the blood in Calphurnia’s dreams is a symbol of the new life that Caesar gives his followers and that he will be seen as a coward if he stays home. Caesar changes his mind and leaves with Decius and the rest of the conspirators. Elsewhere, a poet and prophet named Artemidorus writes a letter to Caesar warning him to beware, naming all the traitors who are out to get him. He vows to hand Caesar his letter when he passes by. Outside the Temple, Portia frets over the conspiracy that her husband has confided to her. She tells Lucius to go into the Temple and report back to her about what’s going on. When the Soothsayer passes, Portia grills her to find out what she’s going to tell Caesar. The Soothsayer responds that she is only going to tell Caesar to befriend himself and beware of others.
