This lesson takes the class through the sequence of three scenes, focusing on Caesar and his reactions to warnings and advice from those around him. The theme of portents/warnings/omens is picked up from Act 1 scene 2 along with Shakespeare’s presentation of Caesar as a man changing under the influence of his popularity and increasing status. Students are guided to key quotations that indicate the confidence of Caesar in the face of his wife’s concerns and his priests’ advice. They are also encouraged to compare the presentation of Caesar in this scene with the way in which his character was spoken about in the previous scene (Act 2 scene 1) among the conspirators. The lesson closes with an exam-style question and hints about how to respond to it.
