1. "Quotes Act II''
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant
never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most
strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will
come". Julius Caesar Quote (Act II, Scene II).
It means that death will come for everyone so why should it
be feared? Cowards die everytime they fear death. Death
will come to all, as an uninvited guest...
Caesar was Talking to Calpurnia and the Servant.
This quote is important because it is when Caesar was
making the decision to stay home, or go to the Senate
house, for his death.
"When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of
princes."Calpurnia Act II, Scene II.
Calpurnia, wife of Julius Caesar, begs her husband not to
venture out on this morning, the ides of March.
Calpurnia is talking to Caesar, warning him not to go.
"Caesar shall forth. The things that threatened me never
looked but on my back. When they shall see the face of
Caesar, they are vanished."
This shows that Caesar feels that he cannot be defeated, or
affected by anything around him. This foolishness shown by
Caesar, leads to him ignoring important warning, which
2. leads to his death/tragedy.
" But those who understand him smil'd at one another, and
shook their heads ; but for mine own part, its Greek to me."
This is a part in the play, Casca's literal ignorance of Greek
is the source of the phrase, using its common meaning to
play on the uncertainty among the conspirators about
Cicero's attitude to Caesar's increasingly regal behaviour.
