Directing Act 3 scene 2 of Julius Caesar :: Drama

Directing Act 3 motion-picture show 2 of Julius CaesarAct 3 crack 2 is a pivotal scene in the play for a number of reasons.Firstly, it develops the growing conflict between the conspirators andAnthony. It creates the main division that ultimately leads to theensuing war.

To dothis, I want him to use a lot of emotive actions and tone of voice. InCaesars time when the people were mostly uneducated and easily led,this kind of speech would have won them over if it were performedwell. If they got so caught up on one point, then they would forgetthat it was not actually a very good point and believe it feverantlyuntil they could be persuaded otherwise by another speaker, such asAnthony.Brutus starts out by pleading with the plebeians to listen to him,Hear me for my cause, andbe silent, that you may get wordWhen he says this, I want him to say it almost desperately but still
