Julius Caeser-the Conspirators 2 Kill Him :: essays research papers

CONFIDENTIAL-OBSERVATIONAL REPORT My dear Caesar, my master, you summoned me to record my observations of the people of High Rome. I have gathered information from my many spies and informants and have filed this report. I thought it might interest you of the goings-on of the following citizens. Marcus Antonius- Your loyal subject has stayed true to you and honours you. He poses no trouble to your rule and does not seem persuaded by the other schemers. Cassius-He appears a very tempered person. It appears that he feels that you are too powerful, but this an obvious sign of jealousy. I fear that he is planning a conspiracy against your greatness. He is more practical than Brutus, but poses a great threat to you. My feeling is to terminate his life. Cicero- He is far calmer than the excited Cassius. I feel that he and Cassius are in this conspiracy together. However there is a far more important member of the conspirators. Extermination is still advised. Brutus- He may appear to be your friend Caesar, but I sense betrayal. He is a noble person who is respected by many. He is a Stoic and believes in idealism. However, the respect he receives from others only makes him more dangerous as he is more capable of encouraging others to agree with him. His life must be ceased at all costs. Flavius- I noticed at your celebrations, the actions of Flavius were suspicious. He was attempting to remove your decorations, a clear sign of dissent towards you. However I do not feel that he is a threat to you, but rather a follower of Brutus. I therefore feel that observation is necessary but extermination is not. Marallus-This tribune seems unsure of whether to assist Flavius and seems more concerned about the festival of Lupercal. Artemidorus of Cnidos- I am unsure about this man about whether to believe his letter of warning to you, whether he is trying to take you off the scent. However, from my observations, I feel that you should believe this man. Trebonius- He is quite a sly and sneaky character who must be constantly surveyed. He may be conspiring against you. Cinna the poet- This man is not a problem towards you Caesar but rather, there is a danger towards him. For he may be confused with Cinna, who may be involved in conspiring against you. I suggest that we protect him. Ligarius- Another member of the planned plot against you.
