ACT 2 SCENE 3
Julius Caesar Act 2 Scene 3 Summary
Artemidorus, Caesar’s friend and tutor, enters holding a letter he wrote alerting Caesar to the plot against him. He reads the letter to himself out loud. It asks Caesar to either avoid the conspirators or reschedule the meeting in the Capitol and includes the names of all of them. In addition, he declares his allegiance to Caesar and commends his grandeur.
On the way to the Capitol, Artemidorus intends to deliver the letter to Caesar as he passes by. He’s hoping Caesar will read it and manage to get away from harm. He is saying that there is nothing more he can do to save Caesar and that his fate is in the hands of the gods and the traitors.
Julius Caesar Act 2 Scene 3 translation
| Original Text Enter ARTEMIDORUS, reading a paper Artemidorus: ‘Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna, trust not Trebonius. Mark well Metellus Cimber. Decius Brutus loves thee not. Thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you. Security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, ‘ARTEMIDORUS.’ Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a suitor will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live Out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayst live; If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive. Exit | Modern Text [Enter ARTEMIDORUS, reading a paper] ARTEMIDORUS: ‘Caesar, be cautious of Brutus, be wary of Cassius, stay away from Casca, keep an eye on Cinna, don’t trust Trebonius. Pay close attention to Metellus Cimber. Decius Brutus is not your friend. You have wronged Caius Ligarius. These men all share one common purpose, and it’s directed against Caesar. If you are not immortal, be vigilant. Complacency leads to conspiracy. May the mighty gods protect you! Yours faithfully, ‘ARTEMIDORUS.’ Here, I’ll wait until Caesar passes by, And I’ll approach him as a petitioner with this letter. It saddens me that virtue cannot exist Without being attacked by envy. If you read this, O Caesar, you may live, If not, fate conspires with traitors. [Exit] |
