in today's letter: cicero tells brutus he won't write in any detail about a recent senate meeting, and then writes in a lot of detail about that recent senate meeting! cicero complains (again!) about brutus not killing mark antony when he had the chance! he thinks brutus should take the chance he does now have to kill mark antony's brother! a liiiiiittle bit of bitching about dolabella! cicero complains that brutus' letter to the senate was so pathetic that everyone thought it was a forgery! cicero wants brutus to start killing! and cicero wants his son to learn virtue from brutus—not that his son needs the help or anything!

Let's not forget that it's a dream, Colin's dream, and her dress is easily removable. Like... sir that's unhinged. This man is out here, writing fanfic in his head about himself and Penelope AND he has pretty specific ideas about what he wants to do with her.

What is the primary force that guides us along our paths? Is it our minds, or our hearts?
