Modernized Julius Caesar

Act 1, Scene 2 Modernized text is in Red and other text is normal. Soothsayer: Caesar! Caesar! Caesar: Ha! Who calls? Who's calling me? Casca: Bid every noise be still. Peace yet again. Be quiet everyone! Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls me ? I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, who is calling my name. say it cry "Caesar!"- Speak. Caesar is turned to hear. I hear someone yelling in the crowd over all the noise. Say it again,Caesar is listening. Soothsayer: Beware the ide of march. Beware of march 15th Caesar: What man is that? Who's that? Brutus: A soothayer bid you beware the ides . A soothsayer tells you to beware of March 15th. Caesar: Set him before me. Let me see his face. Bring him to me i want to look at him. Cassius: Fellow, come from the throng. Look upon caesar. Come out of the crowd this is caesar you are looking at. Caesar: What sayst thou to me now? What do you have to say now? Speak once again. Say it again. Soothayer: Beware the ides of march. Beware of march 15th Caesar: He is a dreamer. let us leave him. Pass! He's insane. let's leave him! Lets move! This shows what power caesar has over the people and everyone..... and also how quickly he uses it. He kinda blows the man off and dose not give a darn. Having power like that makes you step on the smaller people and not think twice about it.
