  I.i
  
  Summary: The commoners are partying in the street. Julius Caesar is returning to the city after defeating Pompey, another Roman general. Flavius and Marullus, nobles, are upset at this. They send the crowd home, after trying to shame them for being so happy over Pompey’s defeat.
• Lit. Elements:
  
  Mood: Tense. The anger of the nobles, and happiness of the commoners is laying the groundwork for the story’s conflict. Also, the commoners are seen as easily changeable as they once loved Pompey, but now love Caesar, who has just killed Pompey. Setting: Street in Rome, February 15th
