Act one Scene 1 Lines 33-76. Flavius and Marullus. Partner: Nick F
What happens in lines 33-76 is that Marullus and Flavius are scolding the citizens about praising caesar. After the scolding, Flavius and Marullus think of a plan to rid of Caesar.
This passage is very significant about the play because it introduces the stupidity of the normal people of Rome. According to Flavius and Marullus, the citizens of Rome highly respected Pompey as their leader. Pompey's words were what the citizens payed most attention to, but, until Caesar killed him. As soon as Caesar killed Pompey, the citizens of Rome turned their backs on the ideas and words of Pompey and than began following everything Caesar said. This shows the stupidity of the Roman citizens, because of how easily they change their minds without putting much thought into it.
Also, another reason why this passage is so significant to the play is because it introduces government official hatred toward Caesar. It is clearly stated in Act one Scene 1 that the two government officials, Flavius and Marullus hate Caesar because of the ingenious ideas they have thought about.
