Act 3 - Third Meeting - Connector

Act 3 - Connector

Some connections that I have made throughout Act 3 was mistaken identity. When Cinna the poet gets killed by angry mob because the mob thought he was one of the conspirators, that is a case of mistaken identity. A story that I can relate this to is a couple years ago, a van holding 9 people was hit head on by a tractor trailer. Five people had died, and one of them the doctors thought was Laura Van Ryn. After realizing their mistake, they found out the one in recovery was actually Whitney Cerak. Thus meaning Laura Van Ryn was buried as Cerak. This event brought some faith for the Cerak family, but sorrow for the Van Ryn family.

As we discussed in the group, we think that Caesar's death could have been avoidable, and as well as Cinna the poets. Cinna's death was very unfortunate because it was a simple case of mistaken identity. The angry mob that killed Cinna the poet were angry because they read Julius Caesar's will and he gave money to Romans, obviously meaning that he had good intentions and would've been a great king. Our group decided that the conspirators should be punished for the actions, and the Romans should be the ones to do so. They shouldn't be viewed as heroes for what they have done, and unfortunately Antony is stuck on what to do. He is friends with the conspirators but we think it is only out of the safety of his life.
