Between the acting of a dreadful thing and the first motion, all the interim is like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments are then in council; and the state of man, like to a little kingdom, suffers then the nature of an insurrection.” The confusion consumed Brutus for a long period of time, but eventually he comes to the conclusion.…

To which Brutus replies to Cassius with; “If he love Caesar, all that he can do/ Is to himself: take thought and die for Caesar” (II, i, 200-201).…
