Julius Caesar Duet

Partner- Valentina

Characters:
Portia- Valentina
Lucius- Lara
Soothsayer- Lara

Passage- Act 2 Scene 4, Lines 1-47

Valentina and I chose this passage because it is a important part of this act. Brutus has just told Portia what he is doing and she is getting worried. It was the day when Brutus and the conspirators were going to kill Caesar. She promised Brutus she wouldn't tell anyone but this is very hard for her. She wishes there was a mountain between her heart and tongue that would stop her from telling her errand boy 'Lucius' everything. When the soothsayer comes she is still very worried and asks if he has been to the Capitol yet and seen Caesar pass. The soothsayer says caesar will be crowned that day and leave to go to the Capitol.
