For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The third Newton’s law explanation goes further than just mathematics and force: it is a theory about life, which states that what goes around comes around, providing action to life. This dynamism is well transmitted in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, using antithesis to shape the play.

In the midst of a failing republic, Rome was the epitome of chaos. Leaders acquired power by demanding loyalty among their troops, and yielded power through bribery and flawed checks and balances. It was a scene of populist fervor and patrician setback, marked with multiple civil wars. Mainly, conspiracies, sedition, and revolution plagued the years from the Gracchi into Caesar’s death. The sources of contention included the rampant inequality between the plebeians and patricians, the previous of which were discontent with the little social mobility and mistreatment by laws.
Desire for power is a fundamental human concern that connects Niccolo Machiavelli’s 16th century speculum principum The Prince, and Shakespeare’s 1599 historical tragedy Julius Caesar, through the contextual barrier.(respond to question) Machiavelli’s Italy has become “beaten, despoiled” by constant infighting whereas Shakespeare’s Elizabethan England is fear ridden with rife possibility of aristocratic war to acquire the throne of heirless Queen Elizabeth I when her reign ends. These contexts of different time period, but filled with the same political tension, shape their criticism of Renaissance humanism’s hubristic depiction of man created “in the image of god” especially through utilisation of historical antiquity, a Renaissance technique, to explore the compromising influence of human desire for power on their moral integrity and state’s stability and glory. Therefore, the comparison of both texts (incl. their given extracts) with different contexts but similar treatment of key human and state values, reveals the impossibility of a perfect human governed state.

Loyalty and similar traits of love and faithfulness arguably form the framework of societies present and past.

The absence of loyalty in a society does not necessarily constitute chaos; it is rather variants like extremism and
Abraham Lincoln once stated “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” In Lincoln’s statement a key term is power, which means the ability or right to control people or things. Another important term in Lincoln’s statement is adversity, which means a difficult situation or condition. Taken as a whole, Lincoln means that all men can handle a difficult period by themselves easily, but when someone has power and battles a situation it makes a person corrupt and harder to handle situations. This is because when you have power it is easier to do the wrong thing.

In the end, it delivered him to his doom. Caesar performed multiple acts that deliberately showcased an ugly demon within him. This demon presents itself as the true entity of ambition.

Power is a natural desire for humans. It is what structures society, makes the world turn, and to get more of it, people will do almost anything. Yet society often follows whoever is in power without a second thought. Because the Romans follow whoever is in power without considering that person’s morals and ideals, they are responsible for the anarchy that ensues after Caesar’s death.

In the time of William Shakespeare during the Classical period, the familiar concept of the Great Chain of being existed as a part of the belief of stoicism. The major premise was that every existing thing in the universe had its place in a divinely planned hierarchical order: God, Angel, Heaven, Human, Beast, Plant, Flame, Stone, and lastly, the latter of intellect. This stable structure of existence and human life cycles and encompasses the internal, timeless struggle of order and disorder. If this chain of being is shifted, the chain shakes and disorder occurs. Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar centers around an on-going conflict between the conceptions of order and disorder which are supported by imagery in the play. Recurring symbols and
