Caesar, "soon to be" the great leader of Rome had been offered a crown by Mark Antony yesterday. Citizens were amazed and confused with the event that had happened because Caesar refuses the crown 3 times, but with that even said, his hands remains steady on it. He also fainted in the middle of the ceremony and the people’s theory was that it was caused by the "falling sickness". But Caesar refuses to say anything to the crowd. Is this a fake act to gain more supporters from the commoners or is he really consider a weak leader?
At the scene yesterday, citizens also observed and found out that Cassius’s actions towards Caesar were a bit odd. Result from a interview conducted yesterday, Brutus confessed that, "These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing will make him fly an ordinary pitch, who else would soar above the view of men and keep us all in servile fearfulness". Flavius also added that he will thin the crowds of commoners because if they can regulate Caesar’s popular support, they will be able to regulate his power. Is Brutus trying to form a triumph to challenge Caesar and try to take over Rome?

For the past few days, people are dreaming and seeing terrible things in the natural world. A forge letter from Roman citizens declaring their support for Brutus and their fear of Caesar’s ascent to power were found yesterday near Brutus’s house.

Brutus is being continuisly persuayed by the people around him. Casca comments that the noble Brutus’s participation in their plot will bring worthiness to the group, “He sits high in all the people’s hearts, and that which would appear offence in us. His countenance, like richest alchemy, will change to virtue and to worthiness”.
