Scene 1
Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus now rule Rome as a triumverate (3). The 3 meet to draw a list of their enemies that must be killed and changing Caesar's will. Antony expresses to Octavius his low opinion of Lepidus. Antony and Octavius discuss how to defeat the army of Brutus and Cassius.
Scene 2
Brutus seems displeased at the way events are developing, and he tells his servant Cassius's new cold and distant attitude. (why do you think this may be?) Cassius and Brutus go into a tent and talk about their disagreements.
Scene 3
Brutus and Cassius argue: Brutus accuses Cassius of corruption and greed, but they seem to get on friendly terms again. Brutus informs Cassius Portia has killed herself (swallows hot coals!). After they hear of the triumverate army approaching, they prepare for war. Brutus sees the ghost of Caesar (why?).
