The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar. Can you help me?

Question

What do you think Lucius means in Scene 1, line 73 when he says the conspirators’ “hats are plucked about their ears”?

I have no clue what could mean!! "Hats are plucked about their ears"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Can anyone translate this for me?! What does it mean??

Answer 1

I'm not certain, but I think it means they're timid in their actions.  Keeping a hat plucked about the ears would mean it's pushed down low, hiding their faces.  It could imply their uncertainty about the matter, or their feelings of guilt.

Answer 2

add the idea of no one wanting to listen to the man because they already made up their minds to what platanic mage said & i think you got it covered
