Warning Juilus Caesar of the Ides of March
William Scott
1st Period
Dear Mr. Caesar, It’s come to my attention that you’ve got a meeting on the 15th of March, with the senate, at the capitol. I’m here to warn you that you shouldn’t attend this crowning. You cannot trust the people around you; these men you call friends are not here to help you, but to hurt you. They want to see you fall and lose all power. Ultimately they want to see you dead. They have schemed upon how to go through with your murder. Caesar my lord you cannot continue to heed the warnings given to you by the significant people in your life. Going against these warnings will only be the downfall of your power, and the cause of your life’s departure. It has come to my attention that you have had many signs given to you in the strangest of ways, hinting towards you not going to the capitol. The town’s soothsayer told you to beware of the Ides of March, which is the 15th of the month; the same time you’re to be “crowned” in front of the senate. I understand that the futures some of the soothsayers may predict are not always accurate, but Caesar you’ve always got to consider any possibilities, and keep his predictions in the back of your mind. Though you may not fully understand why he may have said that to you, you still can’t just brush off what he says. Again Caesar, I come to you, with all honesty, and the fear of a dear friend’s life. I spoke to Calpurnia; and she told me about the nightmare/nightmares she has been having lately. Caesar, do you really discard the dreams of your own significant other? She of all people would never want to see you harmed. Maybe I should reiterate what she dreamt of: your body, in statue form, blood spewing out, and happy Romans with a replenished smile on their faces as they dip their hands into the cycling pool of blood. Dear old Caesar, you are very popular with many of the citizens of Rome. But, yet there are still those who wish to see the destruction of you. Do you not recall what happened
