rmI'm a little breathless and so sad and it was just what I needed.
I was s moved by Cicero's death.
And by Brutus'. Brutus in particular, this Brutus, has really plagued me emotionally throughout the show. I know most everyone is on about how he's weak and a coward, but what strikes me about this portrayal of him over and over again until his very last moment is his naivete. He hasn't the tools for his place in the world, for his life, for even his passions. And I feel bad for him. I do. Deeply.
Meanwhile oh chilly little Octavian and Antony trying to deal with each other. Especially that business wehere they are making up lists of people to kill. Aie. I miss Max Pirkis, but this new Octavian is damn eerie and odd too.
