Why does marullus scold the workers of Julius Caesar in scene 1?

In this scene of Julius Caesar, Marullus, enraged by their celebration of Caesar's victory, is scolding the commoners for their fickleness.
The rationale behind this scolding is simple: that not long before, these Romans had cheered on Pompey as he rode his chariot through their streets. Now they instead cheer for Caesar, who "comes in triumph over Pompey's blood." (I,i,51)
In addition to simply scolding them, Marullus also implies that the commoners need to repent lest they be punished for this disloyalty to Pompey when he says "Pray to the gods to intermit the plague / That needs must light on this ingratitude."(I,i,54-55) It should that this scene also demonstrates a disturbance in the hierarchical order, which Marullus tries to restore by implying that the gods will send a plague if the commoners don't behave.
Reading Shakespeare is a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy!
