CASSIUS. Forever and forever farewell, Brutus! If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed; If not, ’tis true this parting was well made. BRUTUS. Why then, lead on. O, that a man might know The end of this day’s business ere it come! But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known. Come, ho! Away! Exeunt.
Dramatic Text: This section i the production is moved back allowing for Cassius' soliloquy to be more open with the audience. With the absence of Brutus, she no longer feels the need to disguise herself as a different person to become the type of woman that Brutus needs by his side. As seen through Brutus' lack of concern for his wife (before she shows him the scars) he feels as if he is superior towards others and needs someone who is able to keep up with his brilliance. This final exchange between the two shows how Cassius attempts to warm up to him with her 'true' self and advance for an embrace only to be disheartened when Brutus dismissively gestures towards her not to.
