Disobeying Of Law In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar broke laws to get what he wanted. He knew that he would be killed if he did not hold office after. He cancelled debts and created public jobs for the poor. During this time in Rome, education was a big deal; Both men and women were required to have some education nonetheless why Caesar created numerous amounts of libraries (Textbook 169). When Julius Caesar was ordered to office and also placed as a general in the army, he was forced to surrender by the senate. Even though the army stuck by his side, he backed down off the position. Still, Rome continued to expand by great numbers especially when Caser had a love affair with Cleopatra IV, the farmers plantations were growing numerously to grow with population and army, and the

Irish author, Oscar Wilde, once said, “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.” Disobedience is the failure or refusal to obey rules. Wilde claims that disobedience is a trait that is vital to social progress. In the play, “Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare follows the life of a prosperous Roman politician who surround himself around deceitful people. Caesar’s was stabbed to death by his associate, Brutus, who was motivated by Cassius, Caesar’s other associate.Caesar’s largest support system came from Antony. The characters in Julius Caesar proves that disobedience is a trait that is critical to human progression.

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, one must read the text closely to track the shifting motivations and loyalties of each character as the play progresses. An important factor that must be kept in mind while reading is the degree of loyalty, in other words, the degree to which characters act out of a motivation to help others. Throughout the play, each character's current degree of loyalty to others is clearly exhibited by words or behavior – this holds true for the characters of Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Portia, and Calpurnia. The focus on loyalty is critical because before the play ends an even-handed justice is meted out to a number of people who fail to live up to an expected standard of

What makes someone honorable or corrupt? I define honor by doing something for moral excellence and corrupt as flaunting one’s own abilities for completing a deed. In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, multiple people can qualify as honorable or dishonorable; it just depends on the way you see a situation. In my opinion, I consider Titinus to be the most honorable and Octavius the most corrupt.

Jesus preached about His beliefs with God, and all his Glory. He went around telling people that he was the son of God. These accusations raised chaos with the Jews. He was brought to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest. They were looking for any kind of evidence, or excuse to kill Jesus. “The high priest

Justice is often found after a situation has occurred and more times than not it is seen through the eyes of revenge. Marc Antony, the main character, partakes in this reality by trying to get revenge on Julius Caesar’s, Marc Antony’s best friend, death. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare literally and symbolically delves into the choices that one makes when seeking revenge in the name of justice.

Chapter 28 in the book of Acts addresses Paul’s time in Rome. Nothing is ever mentioned concerning his intended appearance before Caesar, or if he indeed ever gained an audience with Caesar (Nero). Being the Apostle to the Gentiles we expect to read the accounts of his witness to the Gentiles of Rome, but instead we are given a picture of his witness to the Jewish community in Rome. The Act’s narrative is one for which St. Luke may have been preparing us for all along.

There are many different themes for the play Julius Caesar, but the most pronounced theme would be betrayal. Betrayal is going behind someone’s back and turning on them, or in this play even killing someone who you once looked up to. The conspirators claimed they had many reasons to kill Caesar, but that does not change how they once felt about him. Betrayal is a dark and horrible thing that people do to those whom they “loved.”

There are polar opposites between honourable and corrupt. When I hear the word honourable, I think of respect. I think of a person that everyone looks up with pride, joy, and trust. Yet, when I hear the word corrupt, I think of the backstabbing, rotting of a person, that reeks of the word distrust. In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, there are characters that fit the personality of both. In my own opinion, I believe that the character Mark Antony is the most honourable while as the character Cassius is most corrupt.

It may seem as though Brutus and Antony are superb manipulate; however, the plebeians are not capable to bother asking them questions or never thinking for themselves. The plebeians are manipulated by not only Brutus, but also Mark Antony. Although, Caesar’s death was an impact on the plebeians, Brutus and the conspirators, it influenced, made stronger, and persuaded Mark Antony to so whatever it took for him, Antony, to get revenge for the death of the beloved Julius Caesar, and his tragic death.

Cultural differences, lifestyles, and locations are what make books written in the past so unique and fascinating to read today- it’s what makes writing so timeless. Each new novel presents new conflicts, introduces new morels, and immerse readers into a different time period where life functioned differently. Readers get a unique perspective on life from each book they read.

A person of great power has a large amount of control and influence over the vast majority of the population that they lead. Often times, their leadership position was gained through manipulation of the people as they try to sell themselves to them. This manipulation also affects any competition for that leadership position because a common technique to sway someone’s opinion is to make the competition look bad which then makes the people look down on the competition, causing the opposing side’s chances of success to plummet. William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar demonstrates this as a tale of manipulation leads to the downfall of the weaker link. Cassius, Mark Antony and Julius Caesar have perfected the art of manipulation as they are

The clang of the swords on the shields pierced General Julius Caesar’s ear. He couldn’t wait till the war against the Greeks was over and he could return home to his wife. He slaughtered 113 enemy soldiers and was still on the hunt to find one. He stepped over 47 bodies, some of which were still breathing and groaning their last breaths on the eastern shore of the river Acheron. Caesar's nemesis was General Brutus,the leader of the greek army, and his old best friend. After the battle at the River of Acheron, General Julius Caesar rode back to his camp, Gleaming in his Ice-white armour, shining in his glory after his victory vs the Greeks.

There have been many rulers in history who have been betrayed by those they trust, but The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare,1959) still holds a special place in Western literature as one of the most enigmatic human beings to ever exist. Powerful men like Julius Caesar shaped the life and times of the late Roman Republic, just before Rome would officially become the Roman Empire on the crowning of Augustus as the first Roman emperor. Julius Caesar was a powerful general who expanded Rome's power and who was beloved by the people for his generous charity after his successful conquests. Despite knowing the story of Julius Caesar to some extent, most 16th/17th century English would not have ever visited Rome, nor would know what the Roman Republic was like, which presented a unique opportunity to William Shakespeare to create a play unlike any other he had created before. (Shakespeare Julius Caesar, 1599) Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a reimagining of Rome from a Elizabethan point of view, and despite some inaccuracies, the play depicts an enlightening view on Roman life, and the life of the Roman general, Julius Caesar.
