I’ve been rereading Julius Caesar this week in a fit of nostalgia. Two things have struck me on this go-round which did not always stick out to me before:
This was one of my favorite things to teach when I was a high school English teacher. The last scene you shared, where Brutus and Cassius get into a "I didn't!/Did so!" fight was always great for talking about hidden causes of anger and blame. Man, I miss teaching.

Incredible as always. I too immediately leap to unnecessarily dramatic statements about my personal safety at any given time.
Cassius reminds me a lot of “J.T. Leroy’s” heyday.
