We completed our review of Act I of the play and commenced studying Act II. As Act I highlights Shakespeare's use of the supernatural as a metaphor for mental unrest , we discussed the significance of Brutus' insomnia and his longing for a peaceful sleep. Bobby examined Brutus' soliloquy wherein Brutus convinces himself that killing Caesar is just and righteous . We detailed Brutus' twisted logic and his justification for killing Caesar based on what Caesar"might" become or "may" become rather than on what Caesar "is" . Bobby underlined operative language in the text, and in class discussion and in his homework study guide answers displayed a good understanding of the play's plot. He continues to improve in using the annotations to glean the meaning of the more difficult passages and did a good job explaining why Brutus feels the conspirators sully their purpose if they take an oath.For homework, read the next 4 pages and answer two study guide questions,
