If I seem guarded, it’s only because I’m uneasy with myself. Lately I’ve been overwhelmed with private thoughts and inner conflicts, which have affected my behavior. But this shouldn’t trouble my good friends—and I consider you a good friend, Cassius. Don’t think anything more about my distraction than that poor Brutus, who is at war with himself, forgets to show affection to others." which means that he is already having some internal conflict. ]]> 2018-02-07 15:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229137131 Background Information 831652 https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229137631 Mother- Servila

That is why Cassius put letters for Brutus to see cause he knows Brutus will do what is best for Rome not for one person.]]> 2018-02-07 15:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229138496 Act ll Evidence 831652 https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229139594 Even though Brutus struggles with internal conflict he also has external conflict as well with his wife when she keeps asking what is going on and he cant tell her so he does others things like in Act 2, Scene l 245-260 when Portia says "It’s not good for your health, either. You rudely snuck out of bed. And last night at dinner, you got up abruptly and paced back and forth with your arms crossed, brooding and sighing, and when I asked you what was the matter, you gave me a dirty look. I asked you again, and you scratched your head and stamped your foot impatiently. I still insisted on knowing what the matter was, but you wouldn’t answer me, instead giving me an angry wave of your hand and telling me to leave you alone. So I left, afraid of further provoking anger that was already inflamed but still hoping this was merely moodiness, which everyone is affected by once in awhile. Your strange mood won’t let you eat or talk or sleep. If it had changed your outward appearance as much as it has affected you on the inside, I wouldn’t even be able to recognize you, Brutus. My dear lord, tell me what’s bothering you." which even though he wants to tell her he can't which in turn is affecting their marriage in a negative way.]]> 2018-02-07 15:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229139594 Internal & External Conflict 831652 https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229140329 Brutus has both a external and internal conflict but he seems to struggle with the internal more than the external. He even talks about that he has been uneasy and overwhelmed which makes sense. Considering that he is plotting against Caesar and hiding all of this from his wife who keeps asking him whats wrong. Which makes that worse is that he wants to tell her but he can't. Not to even mention the fact that he is close to Caesar but would do anything that sounds good for Rome.]]> 2018-02-07 15:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/831652/7ciu1ybgp3wy/wish/229140329
