Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "I shall remember: When Caesar says, 'Do this,' it is performed." Who says this?

Answer: Marc Antony

According to the mythology, barren women who were "touched" by a racer with his whip during a race on the feast of the Lupercal, would become fertile. Caesar wants Antony to "touch" his wife, and Antony answers in the affirmative.
2. "Caesar, beware the ides of March." Who says this?

Answer: Soothsayer

While Caesar is in procession, he is warned by a soothsayer of danger to come on March 15th, the ides of March!
3. "I was born free as Caesar, so were you..." Who says this?

Answer: Cassius

Cassius is trying to persuade Brutus to join the conspiracy against Caesar by comparing Brutus's Roman lineage with that of Caesar himself.
4. "Let me have men about me who are fat, sleek headed men, and such as sleep at night." Who says this?

Answer: Caesar

Caesar compares Cassius with Marc Antony, who is Caesar's close friend and is a free spirit. Caesar thinks Cassius is "lean and hungry"; he's too serious, and that makes him dangerous because he has much time to think.
5. "It must be by his death; and for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him..." Who says this?

Answer: Marcus Brutus

Brutus respects Caesar, but hates what he sees as Caesar's "desire" to be king, and he sees no way to remedy the problem other than killing Caesar.
6. "But when I tell him he hates flatterers, He says he does, being then most flattered." Who says this?

Answer: Decius Brutus

The priests' sacrifice told Caesar that he should not go to the capitol on the ides of March, and Caesar's wife is afraid for Caesar after her dream about his death, so Decius Brutus will persuade the nervous Caesar to go anyway by playing on Caesar's vanity.
7. "I have made strong proof of my constancy, Giving myself a voluntary wound Here in my thigh." Who says this?

Answer: Portia

Portia is worried because her husband is up, in secret meetings at all hours and he won't tell her the problem. Portia wounds herself, telling Brutus that if she can withstand such a wound, she can handle whatever is bothering Brutus.
8. "When beggars die, there are no comets seen. The heavens themselves blaze forth the deaths of princes." Who says this?

Answer: Calpurnia

Calpurnia has dreamt that Caesar will die, and tells her husband of the wild night with strange, unnatural occurrences the gods have sent to warn him, a prince, of danger. She says the gods are warning him that his life is in danger.
9. "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant only taste of death but once." Who says this?

Answer: Caesar

Caesar answers his wife's entreaty that he stay home on the ides of March, telling her the wild goings-on were staged by the gods in shame of cowardice, and that he spurns cowardice, so he will go to work at the capitol.
10. "If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live; If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive." Who says this?

Answer: Artemidorus

Artemidorus, a named soothsayer, has written a letter to Caesar, naming all the conspirators, telling Caesar to beware, for they mean to kill him, and reading his letter will help to save his life. Caesar, in true form, tells Artemidorus that since the letter concerns Caesar and not Rome, he will read it last.
