       Our footnote for 3.1.73 "Hence! Wilt thou lift up Olympus?" claims this line means Caesar fancies himself divine. How is our perception of this moment different because of this line, and the way Caesar is portrayed throughout the play, compared to the HBO presentation? Are we more sympathetic to the patricians? Even if we aren't on their side, does striking down a tyrant with pretentions to divinity make a better justification for their actions than simply trying to retain power?
