Act 5! Almost there! Copy the scene summaries for the first 3 scenes! (I do realize they are not in exactly the same format as before)

Scene 1 summary:
Antony and Octavius enter the battlefield at Phillipi with their army and Brutus and Cassius enter with their's. Octavius defies Antony's directions. They exchange insults. Brutus and Cassius say their final farewells.

Scene 2 summary:
Brutus sends Messala with orders for the forces across the field.

Scene 3 summary:
Cassius loses his battle to Antony. Cassius asks Pindarus to kill him after hearing info that leads him to believe they have lost the war, minutes before the news comes that Brutus has won his battle. Titinius kills himself. Brutus prepares for a second battle.
