Act 1 Scene 3 Of Julius Caesar Act 3

Act 1, Scene 3: “Hail Caesar” by AC DC.
”Hail Caesar” by AC DC is the best fit for Act 1, Scene 3 of Julius Caesar.In the beginning of scene three, Caesar was talking a group of citizens, but a soothsayer was trying to get his attention. The first lyric in the song says, “Swingin' in the chariot /around and around we go/The senators rehearse the tale/ Watch out Caesar.” The soothsayer's warning Caesar of the ides of March, just like it says the song “Watch out Ceaser”. Next,Cassius and Casca are talking about the conspiracy, they are planning. Later in the song it says,“around and around we go/ the senators rehearse their tale/ starring in the coliseum.” In this point of the play Cassius is trying to get Casca to join the rebellion ,

he is “rehearsing his tale” ; and that tale includes Casca.Later in the scene, Caesar is telling Anthony who he would fear Cassius if anyone, but little does he know he is the head of the conspiracy. “You need eyes in the back of your head boy/ or you're dead.”In this scene Caesar is telling Anthony that he doesn't fear Cassius that much, he is just suspicious , but as this song says“you need eyes in the back of your head” maybe if he would’ve had eyes in the back of his head , he would have known to fear him. ACDC’s song “All Hail Caesar” talks about how Caesar was great and how fast his life changed because of many different reasons ; Caesar was too proud to think any of thing bad would happen.

Act 2 , Scene 2: “Smiling Faces” by The Undisputed Truth.
The song “Smiling Faces” by Undisputed Truth fits perfectly into Act 2, Scene 2 for many reasons.In the beginning of Scene 2, Calpurnia tells Caesar of the bad dream she had, where Romans were washing their hands in his blood.

She tells him not to go to the Capitol that day. The first lyic of ths song says,“The truth is in the eyes/Cause the eyes don't lie, amen/Remember a smile is just/A frown turned upside down.”Calpurnia falls to the ground and begs Caesar not to go, and Caesar can see it in her eyes that she really means it, just like when it says “The truth is in the eyes/Cause the eyes don't lie." After he agrees to Calpurnia’s wish, Caesar’s servant comes in and re interprets her dream into the Romans worshipping Caesar, not killing him. But this man is a conspirator, and what he is saying is not true.“Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes/They don't tell the truth, uh/Smiling faces, smiling faces/Tell lies and I got proof.”These lyrics are proving my point! Not all stories, or interprets of dreams are true. In other words, don’t believe everything you hear.In the end, Caesar has the choice of either risking his life and going to the Capitol, or staying home and basically refusing the crown. Well, you know which decision he ends up making. Another lyric of the song says,“ I'm telling you beware/Beware of the pat on the back/It just might hold you back.”Caesar wants the crown, and we all know that his death is worth the chance of becoming the ruler of Rome. Like the

song says “Beware of the pat on the back/It just might hold you back.” But this certain pat on the back does the opposite of hold Caesar back. The song “Smiling Faces” by Undisputed Truth talks about not putting your trust in someone, just because you like what they hear. Caesar liked the servants version of Calpurnia’s dream and he went with that, went to the Capitol, and got killed. Lesson learned.

Act 3, Scene 2: “ Dogs of War” by Outlaws and Bystanders.
The song “Dogs of War” by Outlaws and the Bystanders, fits perfectly in Act 3, Scene 2 because it reflects Mark Antony's Speech so well. After Caesar died Marc Antony and Brutus give speeches dedicated to him.One of the lyrics of the song says, “These butchers will not win the day/But I must measure what I say/Lest they may see and silence me.”. These lyrics show Antony's thought process , he must “measure what he says” or he would be taken away just like what the song says.Antony begins to try to sway the crowds opinion of Brutus. Another lyric says ,“The King has wept when that the poor have cried/What cause withholds you then to care/My heart is in the coffin there,”In Antony speech he begins to pull on the people's heart strings, he reminds them he cried or the homeless, he denied the crown three times and so on; even more he begins to say that he misses him so much that his heart was out of him he needed a moment to catch it. This song is saying the same thing. Antony’s speech is coming to a close the people begin to come to his side. Finally the last lyric says, “But had I now the power of speech/To stir men's blood, to rouse and teach,/Then let there be a mutiny.” Now that Anthony had the power of the crowd he draws them to a mutiny, these lyrics are saying there should be a mutiny. “Dogs of War” by the Outlaws and the Bystanders reflects Antony's speech perfectly , he needed to win the people over but in a non traditional way and in the end he did.

Act 4, Scene 2: “Glory and Gore” by Lorde.
Act 4 Scene 2 of Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare fits perfectly into the song “Glory and Gore” by Lorde.

Brutus gets a note saying that Cassius is mad at him, they are fighting about the way the war should be won. The first lyric of the song says,“There's a humming in the restless summer air /And we're slipping off the course that we prepared / But in all chaos, there is calculation.” These lyrics belong here because they are the perfect representation of what's happening to them, there is tension between the two as said in the lyrics.Brutus and Cassius decide to settle their dispute by sharing all their feelings.Later in the song it says,“They lose their minds for us / And how it plays out / Now we're in the ring / And we're coming for blood.”Cassius feels so bad about what he's done to Brutus and how they are losing their friendship, so in his mind the only answer is suicide . However, that's just what Anthony wants he’s lead him to this thinking, thus my choice of song. Brutus gets more mad news, Titinius and Messala bring news that Anthony has put 100 senators to death also that portia has died. The chorus says, “Glory and gore go hand in hand / That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!) / You could try and take us (oh-oh) / But victory's contagious.”The conspirators victory did not come without blood as we can see here , the triumvirate put to death 100 senators which is the same thing as glory and gore go hand in hand. This scene shows the down side

of the conspirators victory , but it also shows the triumvirates side and the tough decisions they had to make , the song Glory and Gore by Lorde is just that it shows the upside and the downside.

Act 5, Scene 5: “All Hope is Gone” by Adisson Bass.

I wrote this song specifically for this story; I named the song “All Hope is Gone” , it was written for act five scene five of Julius Caesar. Cassius has died and Brutus begins to lose all hope, he thinks about taking his own life. The first lyric of the song says,“Where have the good times gone /My friends are gone /The time I long for is far gone/My hope is out/ The dark has come.”
These song lyrics show Brutus despair and sorrow he is dealing with in these lines of the play. Next, Brutus ask his most trusted servant to kill him so he doesn't have to.The next lyric of the song says,“The time is coming /True friends remain /Life is over .” These lyrics are saying that Brutus true friends only remain, the ones he trust the most. Shocked, Octavius and Antony come up upon Brutus body. The chorus of the song says, “All Hope is gone /I need to leave /Honor must remain.”These lyrics are saying that “Honor must remain” in the end it did, Octavius acknowledge Brutus honor.This song was made specifically for this Act and Scene, it explains what Brutus was feeling in his final hours.
