The answer is:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," the cobbler parallels his craft of mending shoes to a surgeon's job. Furthermore, Flavius demands to know why he is not working and is guiding so many men through the streets. Therefore, the cobbler says they have taken the day off to celebrate Caesar's victorious return over Pompey.

The cobbler compares himself to a doctor.

Flavius wants to know why the cobbler is not working.

The cobbler and others are celebrating Caesar’s victory.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Julius Caesar" tells the story of the murder of Caesar and the eventual fall of the murderers and also Rome. This play is based off a historical figure of Julius Caesar.

Act I scene i opens with the triumphant return of Caesar from the battle where he defeated the sons of Pompey. Everyone had turned up to celebrate the defeat of Pompey and to glance a view of their true leader Caesar. But when Flavius saw that even the commoners, including the working people are there assembled, he asked them why they are in the crowd. It was then that the cobbler responded to him, stating his business and the reason for his participation in the celebration. Comparing himself to a surgeon/doctor, he told him that he had been repairing shows as a cobbler. And he along with the others are at the streets, taking a day off from their usual work, to celebrate the victory of Julius Caesar.

“idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”

maybe   “people from a long time ago” should be replaced with “elizabethans.”
