Julius Caesar Act III Scene 3

"Cinna: Truly,my name is Cinna.
First Plebeian: Tear him to pieces! He's a conspirator!
Cinna: I am Cinna the poet,I am Cinna the poet!"-Julius Caesar,III.iii



This shows that the plebeians really did care for Caesar and they were going to give justice to the conspirators for what they had done. If they didn't care about Caesar they wouldnt have cared who Cinna was. Also how quickly the plebeians judged Cinna the poet makes them seem ignorant because they judged him by his name. They should have found out more about him before treating him the way they did.



1)Why were the plebeians so quick to judge Cinna the poet??

2)Why did the plebeians atill treat Cinna the poet wrongly after he told them who he was??
