It is hard for Caesar to believe people. When the Soothsayer tells Caesar to ‘beware the ides of March’ he questions the Soothsayer, demanding to know more. Caesar does not believe the message ‘he is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass’

Caesar knows the message is true but he denies that he knows it is true.

Cassius & Brutus

Scene 1 starts with a celebration in the streets of Rome. There are two guards that stop the celebration because they felt the people of Rome were cheering for the wrong person,

‘what tributaries follow him to Rome to grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels’

They are talking about how the poeple celebrate Caesar. The word bond means slavery, Murellus believes Caesar keeps the people in slavery.

‘a mender of bad soles’
