This particular scene, in which Brutus enters in his orchard, depicts the way Brutus speaks to the audience to give us access to his thoughts. Caesar is the maximum authority in Rome but the fact that Brutus thinks that "Th'abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power" reflects that even a ruler, a good individual can be corrupted by ambition, as Brutus later suggests, and cause suffering to his people. The right option is the third one. The reference to cold-blooded reptiles implies great danger even on a bright day.
Ted Koppel seems to be quite an interesting character to develop a parallel plot to the one in the book. Koppel´s life as one of the most famous living television interviewers is a great source for a second plot. He and Morrie cross paths .Ted´s newly found friendship with Morrie affects his life and deconstructs his narcissistic television personality making him change directions in his life.
