I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon

the vacant eyelike windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul, which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?

1. In Brutus' soliloquy in scene 1, what reasons does he give for killing Caesar? 2. Who proposes the murder of Marc Antony? Why
d1i1m1o1n [39]
1) Caesar's death is for the good of all. He has the potential to become dangerous and abuse his power. He tend to rule with his emotions rather than reason and it is thought that he will turn his back and forget the common people who elected him.

2) C<span>assius suggested the murder of Marc Antony. Brutus opposed it because Antony is not a threat and if they kill him it will look like they are very violent and motivated by jealousy.

3) Portia demanded to know what is going on. She wanted to know the secrets that Brutus is keeping that involves Caesar. She wanted to know the real reason why Brutus seem agitated and unsettled. 

4) Calphurnia begged Caesar not to the Senate House because of her dreams that predicted his death. Decius, on the otherhand, appealed to Caesar's vanity and urged him to go to the Senate and not subject himself to the fickle dreams of Calphurnia.</span>
