    The plebians still treated Cinna the poet roughly because his name was Cinna. He shared the name of a traitor, Cinna the conspirator. This show that the plebians still honored Caear and really didn't take in thought about Brutus' saying. If the plebians still threatened Cinna because he shared the name of a traitor then they probably wouldn't have believed that Caesar would turn out to be a selfish evil ambitious monarch. The man that they worshipped for so long and has been so kind to them wouldn't have possibly have done these horrible things Brutus and the others were telling the Romans about. To me they're "I need to see it to believe it" kind of people.

    This shows the plebeians are very impulsive. I am bitting my tongue since last time I said they're well rounded people, but in this act it shows that if you're were apart of conspiracy or if you're connected to it you will pay. They're in rage and are blinded by anger. It shows that they're passionate and shows they love Caesar. In the way that they are destroying everything and everyone who was involved with the killing of Caesar. It still shows that they're impulsive and capricious since they're just doing it and not realizing what they're doing.

    This shows that the Plebeians didnt like conspiratrs because they were probally the ones that planned on killing Caesar in the first place, and thats why whoever was one, they wanted them died, but it also shows that the Plebeians really hnored Caesar as being king, and they worshipped Caesar and he was kind to them, and thats why they loved him so much because he treated them good, and they pay him back by showing respect to him.

    To me this shows that the plebians are very careless, reckless if you may say. They don't think before they act, they just go with their instincts. They didn't care what Cinna had to say. They THOUGHT it was him, a conspirator so by their instincts, they decided to kill him, not knowing it really wasn't him. At the same time though, they look really passionate among Caesar's death. They were hurt and reacted out of impulse, because they killed their leader. Their feelings got their best out of them. They didn't know what they were doing was wrong or how to show their emotions, they were just trying to get justice, not thinking of the consequences. They seem reckless, but they do have a heart.

  9. Cinna the poet is confused by cinna the conspirator, and even when the plebians know
    he is not cinna the conspirator the still try to literally rip his heart out.

    I think that the plebians are so ragefull of the conspirators that even by hearing one of there names they become furious because they actually feel retaliation for ceasar death. So wouldnt u be like that if someone killed a relative of yours nd then comes a guy that has the name of the assasin of that who was assasinated? I know i would maybe ill understand later but i would feel the same rage as the plebians.

  10. When Cinna was mistaken for the conspirator i was amazed becuase the Plebians didnt even take the time to get to know who this Cinna really was. After they found out that this Cinna was the poet ..it was like okeither way i dont care. To me this seemed like they didnt want to accept that they had made a mistake for trying to tear him to pieces.

    Response- Cinna the poet was mistake for Cinna the conspirator and was brutally attack by the Plebeian. This scene shows how the people in Rome are not kind and reasonable. The people of Rome are not very intelligent and are very easy to full and be manipulate by others. Such as, rulers and conspirators. The regular people of Rome can be easily be controlled and can be in danger by fallowing a false ruler or can be trick to fallow a dictator that can bring Rome into chaos. The people in Rome are mainly followers and depend on others to lead their lives. And sometimes can be trick to fallow people and rebel.

  12. i think they still killed cinna the poet because he shared the name of one of the conspirators and as the common people said" it is no matter his names cinna pluck but his name out of heart, and turn him going." i think this shows how confused they were because both brutus and antony had different sides. this also showsthat they really did love caeser even though in the beginning they do side with brutus because they killed a person that had the name of one of the conspirators.

    This shows that the plebians don't think about their actions before they make them. They are careless and inresponsible because even when they had found out about Cinna's real identity they never regreted their actions. They did'nt even wait for Cinna's response towars their accusion. At the same time this reveals the true love plebians had towards Caesar.

    I believe that the plebians were simple minded just because he has the same name that dont mine that he had somthing to do with it .Cinna the poet was just less fortunate because the other Cinna runied the Cinna name by being a conspirator and helping Cassuis kill Ceasar. the plebians should not Judge someone just for that.

    i believe even though it was cinna the poet that the plebeians were so angry that they took it our on ciinna the poet. Also, because he shared the same name as cinna the conspirator and they were just so mad that they had to attack him. Now the battles begin. The consiparators & brutus VS. rome. dun dun dun... :}

    From the way they treated Cinna the poet the plebians seem really ignorant. They had no idea who Cinna the poet was yet they judged him by his name. They might have had a guard up but to judge him by his name is a bit too extreme to me. Even after Cinna the poet told the plebians who he was they still treated him wrongly. The plebians were so blinded by the conspiracy to even see who he really was.
    They also may have treated him like that in defense for Caesar. They showed that they really did care for Caesar and that justice was going to be given to whomever deserved it.

  18. The plebians mistakes cinna the poet because he has the same name as cinna the tratior. but it also shows that they didnt know who cinna thee poet was and was just not liking him by his name and i dont think they shouldnt judge anybody by there name,it kind of shows also that they really believed in ceasar and didnt like how cinna traded on them and that they loved how cinna the poet just happens to have a wrong name that was just a coincidence that they had the same name.
