A Multiple Choice Test on Julius Caesar

In comparison to the perceptions both Cassius and Brutus have towards Caesar, is the perspectives of Antony and Caesar of himself. Antony looked at Caesar as a friend, a role model as well as a kind and deserving leader. This notion is exemplified through the use of emotive language “O mighty Caesar! /most noble blood of all this world/ the noblest man/ That ever lived in the tide of times”. Furthermore, the use of descriptive and connotative language throughout Antony’s

Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) was one of the most outstanding leaders in history. He was the first ruler of the Romano-Hellenic civilization and achieved his goals with great success throughout his life of 56 years. He was assassinated by the conspirators, who accused him for practicing tyranny. This essay will discuss whether it was right for the conspirators to murder Caesar and what its consequences were.

In the text Julius caesar conflicting perspectives can be seen in act 3 scene one where both Brutus and Antony give speeches about caesars death. In Brutus’s speech he uses a

Additionally, Brutus presents a series of rhetorical questions that have no grounds to persuade the audience. He asks, “Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman?” Here he makes it clear that one who does not understand the reason behind Caesar’s necessary death should not be considered a Roman. But, the audience, once again, does not have reason to acknowledge this statement as Brutus does not have sufficient evidence that the murder was, in fact, a necessity.

To begin with, in Document 3 both the historical figures have the same initials of “JC”; Julius Caesar and Jesus Christ are their names. Also, another similarity between both Julius Caesar and Jesus Christ is their welcoming back to their town. They both were welcomed with many arms and many who did not like their coming back. In the play, Julius Caesar had a triumphal entry into Rome (Document 3). Jesus Christ had something similar when he was coming back to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Document 3). Both these events were said to have happened on a Sunday. When Julius Caesar entered back into Rome many commoners joined around to see him come into town. This was a very special occasion for them so they came wearing their Sunday best. Julius Caesar had just come

Introducing his points, Marc Antony begins with the rhetorical appeal ethos, the appeal to ethics, convincing the crowd that Brutus and the conspirators are liars. In discrediting the conspirators, Antony calls upon his authority compared to that of the conspirators. Antony claims the right to speak because Caesar was his “friend, faithful and just to” (III.ii.84) him. Consequently, by calling

1. When Caesar says that Cassius thinks too much, I agree. Cassius tends to look into the details and over think simple situations. He becomes very meticulous about how the group of the conspirators is organized. Also, while Cassius is the one who originally comes up with the idea of the conspiracy and that he wants Brutus to be in charge, he thinks through the plan, yet does not want to take responsibility. Cassius just about argues with himself, due to too many thoughts running through his mind. He thinks about so vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief, where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this before a willing bondman. Then I know my answer must be made. But I am armed and dangers to me

“…Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; and sure he is an honorable man. But were I Brutus, and Brutus Antony, there were an Antony would ruffle up your spirits, and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar that should move the stones of Rome to rise and mutiny… … Here was a Caesar! When comes such another,” addressed wise Marc Antony to the manipulated Roman citizens. (Foote and Perkins, 678 –683).

In conclusion to the analyzation of Cassius’ rhetorical techniques and their effects, what can be concluded is that Cassius is a very intelligent man in the terms of using pathos, logos, and rhetorical questions. When using pathos, Cassius is arguing on the issues of equality among Rome, reflecting on the idea that power shouldn’t be hoarded by one person, but shared. Upon the subject of using logos, he mentions past events to show that Caesar is not the powerful man he appears to be, following up to the concept that a strong ruler will reflect for a strong nation. And with rhetorical questions, Cassius makes Brutus question Caesar’s great power and that

This past week Brutus, Cassius, Casca and several other men murdered Rome’s dearest friend, Julius Caesar. Fear these men, as they will stop at nothing on their conquest for power as to kill a kind, merciful man such as Caesar. Watch out for these men, as they will slither silently, stalking their prey and stab swiftly for a higher seat in Rome. For those new to our great republic, Caesar was accused for trying to become a king and destroying the purpose of the republic, but that is far from the opposite. When offered a crown by his companion, Marc Antony, Caesar refused not once, not twice, but three times just to please us. These vile beasts, in return, stabbed him twenty-three times, each of which were close friends and were given his trust, for he believed in the good of people. Then there is Caesar’s will, in which he donated so much to us from the bottom of his heart. Some Romans may say that Caesar deserved what he got but for me and my fellow true Romans we know other wise. We must come together and give these murders the
