Question

by the end of act 1 of the tragedy of julius caesar, what do we know about the soothsayer’s omen, “beware the ides of march”?

Answer 1

We know it was put there because Julius Caesar was assassinated. Some say it was a turning point in history, because it changed from the historical period to the Roman Empire.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that Caesar is endangered in March, especially in the light of Cassius' conspiracy against him. This means that Caesar's life is in danger that day

Explanation:

The expression above, "Beware of the Gone March" is a foreboding. It was what Julius Caesar heard from a seer, returning victorious from the war, at the height of his power. He heard again when he went to the Senate, and disdained the warning, as Suetonius and Plutarch narrated, sources for Shakespeare's dramatization of the episode.

The passage has become a classic overconfidence that prevents an insecure leader, hero or charlatan, at the top of his glory, from distinguishing caution from weakness. And it means that Caesar's life was in danger on the day that this prophecy was spoken.
