The killing.


After Decius convinces Caesar to go to the Senate, we all prepared for the murder of Caesar. As we were standing around Popilius goes to Cassius " I wish your enterprise today may thrive". This came as a surprise to all of us because we all thought that no one knew and once he said that we felt as though our plans may be ruined. As we wait, Trebonius left the Capitol with Mark Antony so that he wouldn't Antony wouldn't get in the way. We had Metellus Cimber approaches Caesar and asks if he would pardon his brother. And as Caesar kept on saying no me and Cassius stepped in and plead with Metellus as the other conspirators moved in. As we stand their asking Caesar says," I am constant as the northern star" and that he can't be persuaded otherwise and that the punishment Publius Cimber received is the one that will remain. And at a split second BAM! everyone was stabbing Caesar. I get my dagger and I stab him. Once he realized that me, Brutus his friend had stabed him i could feel the betrayal he felt.

The meeting. Oh and Portia.



After talking to Cassius about Caesar I am still not certain of what to do. As I stay up all night thinking I come to the conclusion that Caesar must die. Even though I have absoulutely nothing against Casear i must do what i think is the right thing to do. I must stop him before he gets crowned and the power he receives overpowers him. As in the letter i had received from my fellow Romans, it clearly states that Caesar must die. As i sit here thinking about this letter my fellow conspiracy members arrive at my house, Cassius, Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus and Tribonius all here to talk. Me and everyone else all decided to take a pledge for each others support in the murder of Caesar, which ended in an oath. No promises were need due to the fact that we are all honorable men. As we talk about killing Caesar, Cassius says "let Antony and Caesar fall together". Yeah no, Antony really isn't a big problem so I told Cassius and the guys to just chill and forget about Mark Antony. So after all that the guys left, and then here came Portia complaining about why I have been acting so weird. I just told her to not worry about it, but she just kept going on and on. Then she stabs herself, definitely not crazy or anything but she was saying how she is strong and that she can handle anything that I tell her. But at the end of the conversation she basically stabbed herself for no reason because I still didn't tell her what's up.

Talking to Cassius



Today as the races were going on, Cassius and I were chatting about our friendship and then he brought up Caesar.
From the stuff that Cassius was saying I'm guessing that he really doesn't like him. He told me about the time when they were swimming and Caesar was drowning. He started screaming for help and Cassius went back to help him. Because Caesar can't swim
Cassius thinks that he shouldn't be considered such a high powered, great person. PLUS! Cassius also told me that Caesar has the falling sickness. Kinda getting the feeling Cassius doesn't want me to like Caesar. It was as if he was warning me. One thing that struck out to me was when Cassius was like "Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world, Like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs." After that I just talked to him for like another minute and we just walked away. Pretty weird conversation we had.
