Introduction:
Ides of March – Julius Caesar was a brilliant military general and great Roman monarch. He was assassinated by a group of Roman senators. The day that Julius Caesar was model 15th March 44 BC was called the “Ides of March in ancient road March” in ancient Rome. March 15th was Lord Weston’s good sister’s birthday.

Lord Weston – a judge:
Lord Weston was a well known judge in England. He was a pompous and proud judge. He won his honours by hard work and zealous service. He was the best known and certainly the most impartial judge in England. He was an important instrument of justice. He refused to be bribed. Most people were against him. He was a favoured servant of his gracious majesty Charles the second. He never twisted the law to please someone. But he couldn’t recognise his own hand writing “Remember Caesar”.

Lady Weston:
She was Weston’s wife. She was a charming creature. She was an excellent house wife. She was very simple and highly intelligent. She was more sensible than her learned husband.

Remember Caesar:
The small note “Remember Caesar” was slipped into his pocket by a dark, lean fellow with an evil face. Roger said that the package was brought by a small, dark man in the morning.

Written by Lord Weston:
The note “Remember Caesar” was actually written by Lord Weston. The judge was so absent minded and forgot all about it and related it to the assassination of Julius Caesar. Caesar was actually a gardener who had an appointment to visit Weston’s garden on 15th March.

Seeing a package:
Lord Weston saw a package lying on the floor. Roger said that it was brought by a smallish, dark man in the morning. He had a more in his chin. They suspected that the package would explode. Roger immersed the package in the water in the gardener’s pail. Six beautiful books were snatched from the bookshelf and they were plunged into the water. Lady Weston entered the hall with a tray on which is a glass of water and some biscuits. She was shocked to see her package with velvet clothes immersed in water.

The knocking is repeated:
There was a loud knocking on the front door downstairs. Roger put a footstool on the chair and climbed on it. Roger looked out. Roger said that Caesar was waiting outside. They opened the door to allow Caesar in.

Conclusion:
The play revolves around Weston’s absent – mindedness which is the crux of the play, the judge fails to recognise his own hand writing.

Beware of absent–mindedness.
