Why is the soothsayer waiting for Caesar?
To warn Caesar to beware of the Ides of March.
Why is Shakespeare going to such lengths to try to warn Caesar?
Shakespeare was not trying to warn Caesar who died 16 centuries before he was born. Are you asking what the dramatic effect is of the warning Caesar receives from the soothsayer and from Calpurnia? Dramatically, Caesar's reaction to the warnings may show him to be conceited and arrogant (or confident and level-headed, if you like him).
What dramatic irony does Shakespeare create in lines 1-2 of act three scene 1 of Julius Caesar?
"The Ides of March are come.""Aye, Caesar, but not gone."The audience knows that the plot the soothsayer is warning Caesar about is real, even if he doesn't see it. He is like Bud Abbott, being calm while Frankenstein's monster lumbers up from behind him. And Lou Costello, who sees the monster and tries to warn Abbott, is the soothsayer, who gets pooh-poohed for trying to warn him. (If you don't know who Abbott and Costello were, look them up. It's worth it, believe me.)Caesar is all smug because he thinks the soothsayer was wrong. The soothsayer, and the audience with him. know that he is not out of the woods yet.
Who exactly was Artemidorus and how did he come to know about the conspiracy against Caesar?
He is a loyal roman.It is not exactly told "how" he came to know of the conspiracy (*Though he likely overheard someone speak of it*). He, like the Soothsayer, attempt to warn Caesar of his impending doom, though they are both clearly unsuccessful.
How was Caesar warned about his assassination?
By a soothsayer crying out "Beware the Ides of March!". However that was in the play Julius Caesar. In reality he was given a letter with the entire plot written out, but he ignored it, setting it aside to read later.

Why does the soothsayer wish to see Caesar pass on to the capitol?
The reason the Soothsayer wishes to see Caesar is to warn him because he is in danger. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar was written by William Shakespeare.
What does the soothsayer warn Caesar?
The Soothsayer gives Caesar a warning. He says," Caesar!" "Beware the ides of March." This warning is very important to the story because Julius Caesar's death is on March 15, 44 BCE.

Who thwarts artemidorus in his attempt to warn Caesar nof the plot against him in the play julious Caesar by William Shakespeare?
The Soothsayer had already cautioned Caesar about the ides of March but Caesar again paid no attention to it saying that the soothsayer was a lunatic and was hindering his way. Then on that very day when Caesar said very confidently that the Ides of March are come, he replied that it wasn't yet passed. This was a clear warning to Caesar about being prepared for any worse circumstance in future. But, as pride hath a fall, the same way Caesar went on with the days activities too confident about his security thinking that no one could ever harm him. Artemidorus had written a letter of precaution for Caesar in which he had mentioned the names of all the conspirators but failed to deliver it to Caesar because he said to him to read his petition first as it concerned Caesar personally. So, Caesar refused it saying that which considers him first shall be dealt with at the last. These warnings were over looked by Caesar which paved the way for his death.
Why is artemidorus for Caesar?
give Caesar a letter to warn him about the sonspirators plan
Why does Caesar change his mind and decide to go to Senate anyway?
Julius Caesar did not change his mind. He was due to attend the meeting of the senate. Mark Antony was warned about the assassination plot and wanted to warn him. However, he was diverted by one of the plotters and Caesar remained unaware of the plot and went ahead with his schedule.
Did Marc Antony ever warn Caesar?
If you mean in the play Julius Caesar, I don't know. If you mean in reality, no, he didn't warn Caesar because he didn't know anything about the conspiracy.
