In the written play, Caesar speaks to Decius about his reasoning for his absence from the Senate. In this we see that Caesar talks in a churlish, and simple way, that causes us as the readers, to laugh. This paired with the caesura in the line, the repetition of "will" provides us with a humorous scene, which also displays how Caesar is obnoxious or surly to those who oppose what he says. This can be also seen as a quote where Caesar is self-righteous, and therefore believes his word must be heeded. This technique has the same effect as mentioned before.

Conspiracy is personified in Brutus' comment aside once Lucius leaves. "Mask thy monstrous visage" is what he says about the conspiracy that he will undertake in the plot to kill Caesar. Even though it seems almost certain that he will join their cause, by what he says in his soliloquy, he still dislikes the idea of plotting the downfall of his ruler in the shadows. This displays how he is honourable, by not being enchanted by the idea of secretly coming up with plans, but rather, he prefers the more militaristic style, of having his plan open amongst many people, with a less personal and morally confusing cause.

In this section, Casca speaks of the strange and supernatural occurrences in the city of Rome. Casca talks to Cicero of the the things he saw, such as "Men all in fire" and "birds of night... at noonday upon the marketplace." Shakespeare uses these descriptions of these unnatural occurrences to show the impending doom that Caesar faces. The incorporation of supernatural features and demonic imagery in a play which most people expected to be based around politics and loyalty, gives us as the readers a shock, by being given the imagery of these strange things on the streets of Rome.

Julius Caesar comments on Cassius' physique, and his nature. He tells Antony how he notices that Cassius doesn't often enjoy the arts, which was common among the Roman people at that time, and how Cassius seemed to often be serious. With this quote, and the use of caesura in three consecutive lines, we see how Caesar is afraid of Cassius, and how Cassius seems to have a cunning characteristic. These lines display to us, how Caesar is afraid of those who seem to have knowledge, and the capability to remove him from his seat of absolute power of the Roman Empire.

At this point in the production piece, Caesar takes the booklet and reads it thoughtfully. After a few moments, we slowly see his face becoming more and more grave as he realises the gravity of situation the he could potentially be in. He then realises the everyone is looking at him, and while laughing, discards the papers. Through this pause in dialogue, and use of facial expression, we see that Caesar honourable enough to consider what he has been given, but upon realising that many people not only look at him, but look up at him, he tosses the paper away to show that he always remains unnerved to the people of Rome, so that they do not have doubt of his bravery and his capability of leading Rome.

When Michelle Fairley speaks the lines in the production piece, she does so with increasing agitation and vigour. This paired with the repetition of "what" and the comparison of Rome to garbage demonstrates how Cassius is so disgusted by what Rome has become, as just a pedestal for Caesar. She is seen to be so passionate in her belief that Caesar must be removed from his position of supreme power, that this manages to convince Casca into taking her stance as well.

When the actress who portrays Casca says "hold, my hand" she pair this with literally holding up her hand towards Cassius. Cassius then takes it, and later says, "There's a bargain made." Through both the language, as well as the bodily movement of Casca, we are given the idea of a deal being made between the two parties, to join forces and take down Caesar. This also repeats the ideas of diplomacy and politics, as it is a common feature to unite together to achieve a common goal.

At this point, Ben Whishaw, who portrays Brutus, leans ever closer at Cassius, and now holds up his hands towards his head, while speaking in an almost ridiculing tone towards Cassius, bidding her to remember the Ides of March. Later he says, "Julius bleed for justice' sake." The use of language, bodily movement, and facial expression provide us with an insight into how astounded he is by Cassius' corrupt actions, and how he cannot believe that his friend would make such a poor moral decision, after committing murder for the sake of justice. This building tension and anger within Brutus, also displays how he is panicked by all the troubles that surround him, both through the mustering forces of Octavius and Mark Antony, and the much closer problems of Cassius and Brutus' men.

In the production piece, the camera focuses on the Soothsayer, who is shown to be old, as well as hoarse voiced. For us as viewers, this makes us somewhat pity the man, for his age, and for the fact that he had to yell to be heard over the crowds. This then also causes us to be more interested in what he may have to say to Caesar, and what his purpose was for yelling so hoarsely. Through this, we are able to see that the Soothsayer is wise and knowledgeable, but can easily be seen, like Caesar did, as a mentally unstable person, also due to his attire and strange omens.

The use of gender swap in the production piece is to make the play more understandable to the audience and viewers, and comfortable amongst audiences, as they wouldn't be able to understand the joke that Shakespeare attempts to make if they used the original production, where Artemidorus was played by a male. The reason that Shakespeare initially portrayed Artemidorus as a male was because in the time that the original plays were being shown, the audience would have been found it funny due to its absurdity for its time.

The inflections in the voice of the actress portraying Artemidorus, as well as the softness of her voice at particular points such as "heart laments" present how many people are fond of Caesar, and how they care for him. It also exhibits how some of his followers are able to see the growing forces who wish to plot his downfall, and desperately want to urge him to take heed of these warnings and exhibit more caution.

Soothsayer speaks to Portia of how he has firm belief that Caesar will perish once the Ides of March arrive. "the throng that follow Caesar at the heels". Here is a metaphor of how the sheer number of people of Rome who follow Caesar, and how they will follow him to his death, come the Ides of March. This quote demonstrates the mystic and the supernatural nature of the soothsayer, and how he was an integral figure in warning Caesar about his doom. It was also a demonstration of Caesar and his power, and how he was able to gain so many loyal followers.
