Julius Caesar- Rewrite a scene in modern times
Parveen Charran
Backstory: Julius Caesar, an ambitious CEO of hotels in a highly competitive, tourist ridden area, is opening up a lot of his hotels and is in competition with the other hotel company owners. Cassius, Brutus, Cinna, Casca, Metullus, and Decius(conspirators) were all friends with Julius Caesar in college as they all had common plans of becoming CEO’S of their own hotel branch and as it turns out, they are all within vicinity of each and are competition for one another. Cassius begins to see that, as of late, Caesar had become vastly popular in the area and he is losing a ton of business, and realizes if something isn’t done, all he has worked for will go down the tubes. As Cassius begins to do some research, he finds that Caesar has refused to have anyone else help run the company should something happen to him, Cassius realizes that if he were to conspire against him and kill him, he can be back on top like he was before Caesar truly makes it. Cassius is able to convince his old college friends to help him get the deed done knowing they would do it as they have been losing significant business as well. Seems that people are willing to go to extreme measures to make sure their business is flourishing.
Act 4 Scene 1
Antony: These are the guys we’re killing. I’ve marked their names on the list.
Octavius: (to Lepidus) You know we’re going to have to kill your brother too, right?
Lepidus: I agree—
Octavius: Mark his name on the list too then Antony.
Lepidus: Only if your sister’s son, Publius, dies too, Mark Antony.
Antony: He will. I’ve already marked his name on the list. But, Lepidus, go to Julius’ house now. You need to get his will, then we can figure out a way to reduce his bequests to a lot of the people in the town.
Lepidus: Are you going to be here when I get back?
Octavius: Either here or at the building where Caesar’s office is. Lepidus Exits
Antony: Lepidus is an unremarkable man, he’s only good for doing errands. Does
