About this piece
Marullus scolds a commoner
Summary
Two tribunes, Flavius and Murellus, are walking on a Roman street and engage in a conversation with two commoners, a carpenter and a cobbler. They ask the commoners why they aren't working and they reply that they have taken some time off to see Caesar's procession to celebrate his defeat of Pompey. In this monologue, in the first scene of ACT I, Marullus scolds a commoner for celebrating Caesar's military victory. He argues that his conquest doesn't mean much to the city of Rome and his victory means the defeat of Pompey, who they used to worship not long ago the way they now worship Caesar. He urges the commoners to pray the gods to forgive them for their betrayal.
