The cane, as you see above, reminded me of the soothsayer. This cane has been in my family for many years, and seeing it in all of its ancient-ness reminded me of the almighty prophet. Canes are used to help people maneuver through the world. They are designed to give you support and give the blind and the weak a sense of direction, as well. That's what the soothsayer was trying to do for Caesar, help him make his way, but also warn him of the danger. Caesar, who chose to ignore the soothsayer, ultimately sealed his own defeat. Just like when people refuse to use canes and other such items to make their way through the world. They fall, and it's ultimately their fault. They didn't take the necessary precautions or listen to the wise, just like Caesar.
