Julius Caesar has been killed a war starting, getting new rulers, and also a lot of quarrels. So in this paper I will be talking about four of the characters from this book.
So in act IV, Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus meet up at Antony's house and start making a list of Romans. The list contains Romans, they think should be killed. Antony does not want Lepidus to be co-ruler of the Roman Empire. Also Portia dies in act IV, scene 3. She kills herself by swallowing hot coals.

He kept talking about how he saved Julius Caesar's life from drowning when they were little. That is why Cassius does not like Julius Caesar.
So when Cassius starts getting Brutus to side with him, then others start following Brutus and Cassius. They start a group of conspirators; who are siding against Julius Caesar. They meet up Pompey's house. They start their plans on how they are going to murder Julius Caesar. They give everyone a job, so the murder goes
