Julius Caesar – Act 1 Scene 2 The scene I have drawn is act 1 scene 2 when the soothsayer approaches Julius Caesar. He tells him to “Beware of March 15th”. This is a significant scene to the play because he warned Caesar about the day of his death. This is important because it shows how he is arrogant and thinks he is superior to others by not listening to anyone’s opinions. “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass!” (act 1‚ scene 2) this quote shows us that he did not want to talk to the soothsayer

Act 2 Scene 1 For this scene I chose the song “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers. I chose this song because it talks about how when you need a friend during bad times in your life to help you‚ they’ll be there. A quotation from the song that proves this is: ”Lean on me‚ when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend‚ I’ll help you carry on.” this connects to the scene because Sebastian needed someone to be there for him to help him in his time of need and sorrow. Antonio offers to help Sebastian even though

I do agree that the characters in this scene are portrayed in a very ambiguous manner. At this point in the play‚ many of the characters are masking their real feelings; this is usually quite apparent in their language and behaviour on stage. <br> <br>The structure of the scene is an important feature used to display the characters ’ ambiguity‚ especially with the characters of Hamlet and Claudius. Only Hamlet is alone on the stage at any one time‚ and is therefore the only character who can express
