Summary of act 2 scene 1
Brutus is in his garden and has decided that Caesar must be killed. His reasons for reaching this conclusion are that Caesar is abusing his power and that has ascended far too quickly. lucius, Brutus’ servant, brings him a letter (planted by Cassius) he has found in Brutus’ private room. The first line of the letter reads, “Brutus, thou sleep’st. Awake, and see thyself”. Brutus interprets the letter as if it were a request from all of Rome to slay Caesar and restore the republic.
Brutus then asks Lucius what day it is, and he informs his master that it is the ides of March, or March 15th. A knock sounds on the door and Lucius leaves to answer it. Alone, Brutus states he has not slept since Cassius first incited him against Caesar.
