On the night of the storm, Casca describes a series of unusual and ominous events to Cicero, including a lion roaming the streets of Rome that did not attack him, a group of men on fire without being harmed, and an owl hooting during the day. These strange occurrences are interpreted as bad omens, reflecting the turmoil and unrest in Rome. Casca is deeply disturbed by these signs, suggesting a disturbance in the natural order, which foreshadows the political chaos to come.
Casca relates that during the storm, he saw a man whose, although his hands were on fire, flesh did not burn. He saw a lion that simply ignored him and walked away. An owl was out and about in broad open daylight. Best of the bizarre nature of these sightings, Casca concludes they mean there is trouble ahead.
In Act I of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Casca reports to Brutus and Cassius that during the Feast of Lupercal, Caesar was offered a crown three times by Mark Antony but refused it each time. The crowd cheered for Caesar, but Casca interpreted his behavior as a façade, suggesting that Caesar actually desired the crown but wanted to appear humble. Casca also notes that Caesar looked pale and faint after the third refusal, indicating his internal struggle with the power he craved. This event heightens the tension surrounding Caesar's ambition and the perception of his leadership.
