Act III Timeline + Stephen Nose Poke

[KevinW]

SPACE PONIES.

Today I learned that Ms. Boyd lets us RECORD video/audio IN CLASS. So I thought, "why not?" This is the discussion of the timeline for Julius Caesar Act III, part one. We are going to continue to discuss this tomorrow, so I'll update it when I get home.

Video:
2.27.2013 Day One

2.28.2013 Day Two

Special, because Stephen told me not to:


Act IV Discussion

Sergey's Monologue, Caesar's Death, Honorable Death:

(9:23 is when Sergey's monologue begins)

Lin and Mine Monologue:


I'll try to get the other two videos (including Sergey, mine, and Lin's monologues) by tomorrow. Youtube current;y won't accept them due to length, so I'll break it up and render it when my computer is free.

WE ARE NO LONGER DOING A TIMELINE HERE, SEE QUEEN BOYD'S POST.
Timeline (To be Updated)
Here's how it works:
1. This shows the main point.
1a. This shows details/connections for 1.

---

1. Julius Caesar ignores/dismisses all the warnings given to him in the beginning of the scene.

• 1a. THEME: Fate vs Free Will. Artemidorus, in Act II Scene 3, said that the future had already been determined. If Julius Caesar fails to read the letter, then it is fate. Likewise, if Caesar does read the letter, then it is fate. Like all omens/warnings so far, they can be tied to fate/free will and the Roman belief in destiny.
  
  
• 1b. THEME: Public vs Private Self. Julius Caesar is losing his private self to his public self; Caesar believes that he is the invincible, humble, brave, and superior king of Rome in public and in private.
  For example, in Act II Scene 2, Caesar acts as if he is invincible and brave and ignores his wife's pleading and the other warnings from priests/soothsayers. He ignores these warnings and his own wife because he cannot afford to appear weak in public. If he does, he'll lose support.
  

2. "We Got Nuthin' . . . Our timeline is suckin'." - Ms. Boyd
3. "We Got Nuthin' . . . Our timeline is suckin'." - Ms. Boyd
4. Julius Caesar gets stabbed by all the conspirators
This is important because:

• 4a. The play is based on history and Caesar did actually die.
  
• 4b. The first part of the play builds up to it (the conspiracy) and the second part depends on it (the civil war)

Also, since there are two English classes, could someone from the other universe post here and update regarding what they've discussed. We should try to piece together everything here and we'll have an easier time accusing Ms. Boyd studying for those stupidly loooooooong questions in the tests.

Edit 1: 3.3.2013 Updated timeline, uploaded two videos, we are still missing some videos.
Edit 2: 4.8.2013 Late? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT LOOK THERE'S A PLANE A BIRD A CAR!

In our class, we didn't have that much time to discuss a lot about the timeline. So far, we said that,
1. Caesar ignores the soothsayer and Artemidorus and doesn't read the letter. (Public vs. private self. The lines become fuzzy.) (DESTINY)

yeah.. so i hope someone else would post more about the timeline because i will be in the Van Gogh thingy hehe

Kevin thank@you soooo much!

In addition to #1 event of the timeline, we discussed two more events:

2.) Popilius wishes them Luck= FREAK OUT (Misinterpretation) (Uncertainty=tension/suspense)
3.) Conspirators beg Caesar to show mercy and bring back Pubilius Cimber. (Final Test:Caesar FAILS!) (Tyranny- Godlike) (power=corruption)

2.) Before the assassination of Julius Caesar, Popilius wishes Cassius luck on their plot. Cassius freaks out because he fears that their scheme to assassinate Caesar might be revealed. However, Cassius might have mistaken Popilius because Popilius might have meant other plot, not their "plot" to kill Caesar.

3.) Caesar refuses to listen to the conspirators' pleadings to bring back banished Pubilius Cimber and describes himself "constant as the Northern star/ Of whose true fixed and resting quality / There is no fellow in the firmament. / [the] one in all [that] doth hold his place" (Act 3 Scene 1 lines 65-70). He also said that, "That I was constant Cimber should be banish'd, and constant do remain to keep him so" (Act 3 Scene 1 lines 77-78). Caesar meant that he will never change his mind about his decision (to banish Pubilius) and stand firm in it. This proves to the conspirators and us to readers that Caesar will most likely to become a tyrant.
