I indicated various ways in which Socrates' behavior in the opening scene of Republic maps onto Glaucon's response to the circumstances (it is Glaucon, not Socrates, who a) agrees to wait when Polemarchus' slave orders them to, b) concedes that you can't persuade someone who refuses to listen, and c) is intrigued by his brother Adeimantus' description of the spectacle they intend to watch). Keep an eye out for Socrates' responsiveness to the particular concerns of other characters, as when he uses weaponry as an example with Cephalus, then changes the example after the discussion shifts to Polemarchus.
