How the "Mighty" Fall

March 15

Brutus’ mind is now mine. He still thinks we are doing what is best for Rome, but that doesn’t matter. I’ll let him believe whatever he wants as long as it doesn’t interfere with the task at hand. Eliminating Caesar. The day has finally come when the “mighty” Caesar falls from his iron throne. Everything was going according to plan until Caesar refused to attend his inauguration; he wanted to stay home with his wife just because it would please her. Why do women always have to get in the way of men’s business? Luckily, my trusted ally, Decius Brutus, is being deceitful as ever. He has the task of ensuring that Caesar comes to the Capital no matter what. Decius mentioned to me how he had spun Calpurnia's dream into a positive prophecy. Decius had said, “This dream is all amiss interpreted. It was a fair vision and fortunate” (Act II, Scene II, 88-89). I could kiss Decius for this! He has set my plan into motion. Today will be that last day that I have to see that egotistical fool who always got in way. I will see this plan to the end and I will have no regrets. Rome will soon see that Caius Cassius has outwitted their beloved Julius Caesar.
