What is the average amount of scenes in a play?
It depends on what time period you are talking about, and what your definition of "scene" is. To the French, a scene starts and ends when any character leaves or enters the stage, whereas to the English, a scene starts and ends when the stage is emptied and there is a change of location or time or both. Obviously most plays contain many more French scenes than English ones. Also, Elizabethan plays generally were divided into five acts, each act having between one and eight English scenes, so a play might have sixteen or more scenes. More modern plays have fewer acts and fewer scenes, often three acts which contain one or two scenes each.

Cassius states that Caesar is no greater than he or Brutus (by birth), and is indeed a lesser man physically.

He also implies later that Caesar doesn't really like him and that upsets him: he isn't part of Caesar's inner circle.
