Synopsis
Julius Caesar Play
A group of plebeians (commoners) are celebrating the Feast of Lupercal and the return of Julius Caesar to Rome after his victory over Pompey’s sons. The plebeians are rowdy and excited, singing and dancing in the streets.
However, their celebrations are interrupted by two tribunes, Marullus and Flavius, who are angry that the commoners are celebrating Caesar’s victory instead of mourning Pompey’s defeat. Marullus and Flavius chastise the plebeians for their fickle loyalty and remind them that Caesar is not a true hero, but rather a power-hungry politician.
The plebeians feel guilty and begin to disperse, realizing that they have been caught up in the excitement of the moment. Marullus and Flavius depart to vandalize Caesar’s statues as a symbolic act of rebellion against his growing power.
This scene sets the tone for the play and introduces the theme of political power and loyalty. The tribunes represent the political establishment, while the plebeians represent the masses who are easily swayed by charismatic leaders like Caesar. The scene also foreshadows the conflict to come, as Marullus and Flavius’s opposition to Caesar’s rise to power will eventually lead to their participation in the conspiracy to assassinate him.
