   Answer to the question
   
   After climbing on top of the hill Pindarus tells Cassius that his trusty
   servant Titinius has been caught by the soldiers of the opposing army and
   this message upsets him. He falls into a mood filled with guilt as he was
   the one who sent Titinius towards the army camps to check whether the
   army was theirs or the oppositions. He was not right in blaming himself
   as Pindarus had given him wrong information as the soldiers were from the
   same army and rejoiced the triumph of Brutus' army as they had defeated
   Octavius' troops and they had also given Titinius a coronet to give to
   Cassius.

   Immediately after this extract Titinius performs two noble gesture first of
   all he crowned Cassius with the coronet that Brutus had sent for him and
   secondly he kills himself with the same sword with which Cassius had stabbed
   himself. At the end of the scene Brutus asks the others if there were any
   romans still living as honourably as Cassius and Titinius and also says
   that they are the last men worthy to be called Romans and also says that He
   will shed more tears for them than what he is shedding now at a more
   appropriate time. He also orders his soldiers to take their body to Thasos
   as he says that the funeral procession will not happen in their camp as it
   will dishearten the troops.

   All the speakers in this extract are at the senate house and have gone there
   to crown Ceaser as their king. The word 'puissant' means having great power.
   Metellus Cimber expresses his respect for Caeser and shows that he accepts
   his authority.

   At the beginning of the scene when Caeser tells the soothsayer that the ides
   of march are come,the soothsayer replies by saying that it has come but it
   is not over.The comment made by Caeser shows arrogance and pride as he feels
   that nothing can harm him.

   Answer below :
   Trebonius had been alloted the duty of taking Antony away from Caeser and
   Casca had been given the task of stabbing Caeser in the back first. Cassius
   becomes nervous when Poplius Lena speaks to him as they enter as Poplius
   wishes Cassius goodluck in his enterprise by this he feels that their motive
   has been revealed.

   Another soothsayer named Artemidorus had a petition for Caeser which spoke
   about the well-being of Caeser.Caeser responded by saying that then he would
   read that plea last as the pleas that were about the public were more
   important to him.By this gesture of Caeser we see that Caeser was selfless
   and a great king as his subjects were more important to him than his own
   life.

   Shortly after this Caesar is stabbed to death by the conspirators. At this
   point in the play I feel sympathetic for Caesar as he was misjudged by the
   conspirators as Caeser was not a tyrant neither was he ambitious. We can say
   this as Caeser refused the crown thrice and he loved his subjects. I also
   feel that the conspirators are greedy and loathful as they all decided to
   kill Caeser for a personal cause.Brutus was the only conspirator who decided
   to kill Caeser for the general good.

   The trait that is revealed by the king's reply is that he cared for his
   friend and was loyal to his friend however powerful he was. By the above
   said lines the poet tells us that as dawn came the grief within the king was
   rekindled as he had lost his caste

   The consequences that Pertab Singh had to face for the action mentioned in
   the first two lines of the extract is that he had to lose hs caste because
   he became the fourth pole bearer of the alien body. The deed is terrible to
   the priest as the priest......
   
   and the rest of the kingdom had lost a noble king and the deed was terrible
   to Pertab Singh as he had lost his caste and he had lost his true friend.

   Sir Pertab Singh refers to the universal caste of a soldier as the
   "immortal" caste. and told the priest that the caste of a soldier is much
   above the caste of Brahmin or Rajput and siad that they are all but dust as
   compared to the immortal caste and.....
   said that the caste of a soldier was as big as the world, as free as the air
   and as pure as the pool of death as their souls become pure and their sins
   are washed off when they die. A true soldier's caste is the caste of a
   noble heart.

   The 'he' refers to the refugee who was an old man and had come to the new
   capital in search of fodd and some new means to earn their livelihood.The
   refugee has come to the new capital as his land had been destroyed by the
   floods as the river rose above....
   
   .........normal level and since there was no food to eat the other people
   of the community had eaten even the seeds and now there was no seed even to
   sow in the field. The people with whom he had come all wore clothes of the
   same dark blue cotton material and they all carried a burden on their
   shoulders. They were all men and women with a strong and well built
   physique and they were all looking lost and weary.

   The refugee did not have any energy to go on as he had become very old and
   was tired as he has been walking for a long time. The burden that he was
   carrying on his head was his grandson on one shoulder and beds,quilts and
   the cauldron on the other.........
   ..............shoulder. The old man's son and his son's wife had drowned
   when they were working on their fields when the dikes broke and his grandson
   was the only family member left.

   The passer-by on seeing the old man started muttering to himself and said
   that he could not give any more money as then he would not be able to feed
   his own people even noodles but the passer-by still gave the refugee a
   silver coin and a copper coin...... 
   ........and walked away. The old man decided to buy a small bowl of noodles
   for his grandson and decided to buy some seeds with the silver coin as he
   new that if he did not put the land to use again then there would be
   starvation for another year and felt that this was the least that he could
   do for his grandson.It reveals that the refugee believed in his land and
   always thought of the future as he decides to buy seeds so that his people
   would not starve the next year.
