In this scene Anthony, Octavius and Lepidus plan their strategy on how to claim power of Rome
When the scene starts Anthony, Octavius and Lepidus are discussing the fates of the conspirators. also when discussing the fate of the conspirators they’re talking about lepidus’s brother who is a conspirator, and Anthony’s sisters son who is also a conspirator. by saying that even though they are family they should be killed because they are conspirators that helped in the killing of Caesar.
after they talk about the fate of the conspirators Anthony sends Lepidus to get Caesars will in order for them to change the will so that they can fund their own expenses. when they send them away they talk behind his back about him saying and A quote from Anthony is this “he is a slight unmeritable man” by this he is saying that he is a small man and he doesn’t have good intentions and he what’s to create mischief.
Octavius dislikes Lepidus and does not see him fit to share the spoils and power,A quote from Octavius is “some that smile in their hearts, I fear, million of Miss Chief” by this I think it means that even though you smiling on the outside and agreeing with everything,inside his disagreeing and has bad intentions.

Ed,
You have read this scene well and you have taken in the majority of the character’s motives. You embed quotations skillfully, you should be pleased.
I’m interested to know how you think Anthony might have changed throughout the course of this scene in comparison to how we have previously seen him – could you expand on this?
