Antony: A Fictional Narrative

The correct place to set up the fort is also a key factor. You’ll want to pick a spot with at least three walls or doors. If there’s not any room for the blanket to hold up, it won’t stay. Do not pick somewhere with only one wall, because the “chair method” won’t cut it anymore. The chairs make for no room to spread out and be comfortable. The perfect spot may take a little while to curate, but it’ll work out.

The protagonist in this play is Julius Caesar. He is the Protagonist for many reasons. One is that the main plot if the play is to kill Caesar for being a bad ruler against Rome. The consipators were making plans to kill Caesar. There are many warnings in the story that Caesar is going to die, but he ingores all of them because the consipators tell him not to.If he wasn’t the Protagonist then there would be no need to have him in the play for most of them time. Even after his death Caesar still makes many appernices in the book and that makes the other charcters die. Protagonist is the main charcter in a story and that is what caesar is. It is clear that no one else is the Protagonist except for Casear. Caesear lives on in the

In Greece and Egypt, his identification with Dionysus capitalized on the popular Dionysiac cult, which could be found in the East as well as in Italy. By linking oneself with Dionysus, Antony portrayed himself as a divine triumvir, looking to conquer the Orient. This political move was based on popular belief that Dionysus was the god of world conquest, and the blessings of Dionysus included civilization itself. To the people of the East, this connection provided justification why Antony should be revered and followed. Connecting himself with Dionysus also indicated royal power. Since Alexander himself was "bound up with Dionysus," and his predecessors, the Hellenistic kings would displayed themselves as the wine god (by taking his dress and acting in his likeness), Antony proclaimed he was the successor of the Hellenistic kings, and therefore the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. To the East, this deification through Dionysus justified Antony's connection to Cleopatra and his right to rule. In combination with enhancement of this image through deification and mythological ties, Antony launched a fierce verbal campaign against Octavian to illegitimate his rule. Suetonius' The Lives of the Caesars- The Deified Augustus, pays testament to Antony's craftiness and versatility.

Mark Antony was a resilient and persuasive man that turned the tides of Rome after Julius Caesar's death. He used the word honorable to mean dishonorable, having rhetorical questions to leave the crowd thinking, and the use of emotion to show the care he has for the Roman people. Mark Antony was a very smart and tricky man that turned the word honorable around.

Mark Antony was of noble Roman family. In his younger years, he was highly educated. He was taught politics, which he’d use later on in life, a few examples would be public speaking, and being able to figure out and handle situations.

The tragic and untimely death of Julius Caesar, a condemned Roman tyrant, triggered William Shakespeare's creativity. In his play Julius Caesar Shakespeare writes of the treacherous conspirators, Marcus Brutus and Caius Cassius, and their plans to assassinate their Roman leader, Julius Caesar. The story continues to explain how Caesar's loyal friend, Marc Antony, helps avenge the brutal murder. After Antony receives soldiers to fight his battle, his character begins to change. The  fair and faithful Marc Antony transforms to a darker and more deceitful character. Marc Antony is not suitable to rule Rome because he holds a grand desire of great power, his conceit

Following the Julius Caesar's death at the hands of the Senate, Octavian and Marc Antony propelled themselves to the pinnacle of Roman power. First joining together during the Second Triumvirate, these men represented the true power players of Roman politics. As their alliance fractured, both Romans resorted to propaganda to gain an edge over the other. Through insulting the other and polishing their own image, both Antony and Octavian looked to capture absolute Roman dominance. Even before their eventual war in 32 B.C.E., the men engaged in a duel of words in deeds. This paper will first overview the formation and disintegration of Second Triumvirate between Marc Antony, Marcus Lepidus, and Octavian. Its main portion will divulge the devious propaganda, leading up to the war in 32 B.C.E., used by Marc Antony and Octavian to destroy the other politically. Plutarch's Antony and Suetonius' The Lives of the Caesars- The Deified Augustus(De Vita Caesarum - Divus Augustus) will serve as our main guide to this war of image.

Imagine being a part of a wealthy empire and the one who led you to this has just been assassinated. In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Mark Antony shows leadership qualities after his good friend Caesar was stabbed in the back, literally, by their other “friends.” In the first acts, Mark Antony comes off only as a harmless, loyal supporter and follower of Julius Caesar; however, as the acts progress he proves to have strong negative leadership attributes. Antony was motivated to rise up by his own ambition and love for Caesar and plan to avenge him. Mark Antony had qualities such as being manipulative (through his strong rhetoric), showing duplicity, and proving to be untrustworthy; however, Antony also remains professional and loyal.

The Central Concerns of the Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare This essay will look at two of the central concerns in Antony and Cleopatra, namely reason versus passion and the public versus private domains. These two central concerns of the play are clearly illustrated in the extract we are provided with. I will mainly focus on the character of Antony in this essay as it is within him that these two concerns of the play are most evident.

The extract from Plutarch’s Life of Antony concentrates on Cleopatra’s seduction of Antony. It presents Cleopatra and her retinue as manipulative, bending Antony to their will, “[Cleopatra’s] flatterers also worked hard upon Antony at this time. They told him that he must be an insensitive brute with a heart of stone, for here was a mistress who was utterly devoted to him alone”. Plutarch: Makers of Rome also references Cleopatra’s wiles, ‘Plato speaks of four kinds of flattery. but [sic] Cleopatra knew a thousand’ (Scott-Kilvert, 1965, p. 296).

Mark Antony and Popular Culture: Masculinity and the Construction of an Icon by Rachael Kelly, is a pathbreaking analysis of how Antony (the pop culture icon, hopeless lover and drunkard) differs so substantially from Antonius (the historical figure, esteemed general and statesman). Kelly successfully lays out—with great quality and depth—how the mythology itself performs a deeper socio-cultural function. In order to further examine and engage with this idea, this informative and original study employs a socio-ideological analysis of a series of seven culturally resonating screen texts dating from, for example, Cleopatra (Cecil B DeMille, 1934) to the television series Rome (HBO, BBC, RAI, RAI2, 2005-2007).

Cleopatra’s full name is Cleopatra VII Philopator. She was born in 69 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, right up to the year she died. She is the most famous women in history. She was in a relationship with Julius Caesar for only nine months before Cleopatra had a baby boy. They ruled together from 44 BC to 30 BC. Unfortunately, Caesar was assassinated in 4 BC, Cleopatra had a relationship with Mark Antony and they had three children together. When Antony’s troops lost the Battle of Actium to Octavian’s forces, Antony was upset and defeat about it and he committed suicide. Cleopatra committed suicide after him ecause it was a tradition. The way she killed herself was by letting a poisonous snake, which was called an asp, bite her on August 12, 30 BC. Cleopatra is shown in many works of arts and dramatizations of her story. One very famous example is Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. Antony and Cleopatra are two of Shakespeare’s most famous heroes and heroines. These character are not purely good or evil, but rather they have both qualities, though one supersedes over the other. Cleopatra is seen as a complex character.
