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.
Underdogs have an important part in the making a play or the making of a Hollywood movie. They provide the excitement, along with the slight doubt, wondering if they can fulfill their ultimate goal. Stereotypically, the

One of the main reasons why I feel so derogatory towards Cassius is because he used his spiteful ways to control his entire conspiracy, along with Brutus. Human society cannot and will not run properly if lies and trickery continue to clog the ways of friendship and fair trades.To possess great people skills is a good thing, unless you are using it for selfish and unwanted desires. Secondly, if you feel the need to create a diabolical plan, you must obtain more than a few reasons to disturb the peace among people. When Cassius formed a conspiracy, he failed to have proper reasoning to why he “had” to kill Julius Caesar. Caesar was a stern, know-it-all leader, yet he still had a heart. Possibly Cassius was one without a heart to call his own. My final reason is that he showed no emotion as he stayed on the same track to darkness. He continuously felt the need to be selfish to each of the conspirators along with the people closest to him. These certain ways lead to his ultimate demise.
There a concrete, black line between an underdog and a manipulator. I believe that the most triumphant, intelligent, and heroic character would have to be Mark Antony. I would much rather choose someone who is a word wiz rather than a liar. Even though Antony formed an alliance with Octavius to defeat the conspirators, they had good reasoning behind it, unlike Cassius’ selfish and wrong doings. Even if Caesar was
Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar is full of characters distinguished by honorability or corruption. Honor is awarded by high respect, admiration, and acclamation. Those who are corrupt display dishonesty, alteration of the truth, and immoral behavior. Although there are many honorable characters in Julius Caesar, one is more prominent that the others. Mark Antony is by far the most honorable character because he stands up for what he believes in, will risk everything for the right cause, and is noble to Caesar even after he is gone.
Monday The least honorable character in Julius Caesar is Cassius. Cassius tries and destroy the life of Julius Caesar. He wants Brutus to think the people from Rome are concerned about Caesar's power. It's not honorable to dislike someone but cassius dislike Caesar and he also deeply resents being subservient to a tyrant, and there are indications that he would fight for his personal freedom under any tyrant. Cassius wants to remove Caesar from power. Cassius resorts to using his keen insight into human nature to deceive Brutus by means of a long and passionate argument. Cassius has some of his negative aspects. He has jealousy towards Caesar and that's probably why he dislikes him.
What makes someone honorable or corrupt? Webster defines honorable as “deserving of respect or high regard.” Webster also defines corrupt as “to change from good to bad in morals, manners, or action.” Honor is doing something for moral excellence. Being dishonorable or corrupt is flaunting one’s own abilities for completing a deed. Who comes to mind when you think honorable? Who comes to mind when you think corrupt? Everyone has a different opinion for who is honorable and who is dishonorable or corrupt. 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. As a result, I consider Titinus to be the most honorable and Octavius to be the worst
The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Cassius because he was the fakest person out of them all. For example, he had help kill Caesar with the swords that they use. In the movie, it said that Caesar’s opinon of cassius is that he thinks to much and he is dangerous. Caesar should have paid way more attention to Cassius if he thought he was dangerous. Also in the movie on March 15th they planed on crowning him but then on that same day they killed him. What I mean about Cassius being the fakest person is that he tried to act like he wasnt planning anything with the conspritators. Finally. Cassius is the least honorable person in the story.
The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Cassius because he was a conspirator. He killed Caesar because he didn’t like him. He didn’t like Caesar because Caesar didn’t like him. People actually didn’t like him. When Caesar was killed Brutus gave a speech. People thought that Brutus was the hero, but not Cassius. This why Cassius is the least honorable person in the play.
Throughout the play Julius Caesar, different characters struggled to gain power and take on the leadership of Rome. One important character was Caius Cassius. He was intelligent, and had key ideas that could be used to help him gain the leadership he wanted. But, upon executing these ideas, Cassius never stepped up and attempted to lead Rome, while his friend and fellow senator, Brutus, did. Cassius craved power throughout the play, but he was always too weak to rise above more powerful characters, therefore proving that his hatred for Caesar stemmed from their shared weakness.
Throughout Julius Caesar, Cassius proves himself to be an informative character and an important plot summarizer to the audience. He tells the important, and usually, bad news that has arisen in the play. Cassius is a leader to the conspirators in the play, he despises the way that people think of Caesar because he understands himself to be the most powerful. The audience, however, sees Cassius as manipulative and malicious because of how he brainwashed Brutus into killing Caesar and doing all of the dirty work. In his mind, Cassius is the most needed and powerful, but from the outside, he is just mean and sometimes, even over dramatic.
Many world leaders are at least slightly corrupt. In most cases, no matter how benign a ruler may seem, he is a political mastermind, and can convince anyone of anything he wants them to believe. In the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare makes it seem as if Julius Caesar were power-hungry and unkind to his people. He alters the character to help justify the conspiracy.
After Caesar’s assassination, Marc Antony becomes corrupted by power when the people of Rome turn to him in desperation. After Caesar died, there were two very likely leaders: Antony and Brutus. However, after Brutus was villainized by Antony at Caesar’s
He was the mastermind behind the whole plot and the assassination of Caesar carried a huge burden in Rome. It all happened after Caesar won the Great War and came back even more loved by the people of Rome (Wyke, 2007). Cassius and his accomplices in the plot were jealous of him and decided on
The Tragedy of Power Corruption Julius Caesar has many themes of power and greed, which leads to corruption in various forms. Julius Caesar wanted to be the only one in power and tried his best to manipulate and convince the people that they wanted him to rule over Rome, as a king. According to John Dalberg-Acton (1887) “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely’’ this quote can be used as a theme for Julius Caesar but can also be applied to describe the injustices we face today, as Americans. Politicians especially use their status to take advantage of individuals who are not in their rank. Donald Trump and Julius Caesar are both eerily similar in behavior and their way of thinking.
Cassius on the other hand is only in it for selfish reasons. Cassius is jealous that Caesar has so much power. Cassius
Julius Caesar is a wonderful story full of friendship and betrayal. Julius Caesar was written by Shakespeare in 1599 A.D. The main characters are Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Octavius, Lepidus, and any unnamed conspirators. The play sets off in Rome, in 44 B.C. Rome was being ruled by a triumvirate, which consisted of Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar. But Crassus had just died, so Caesar and Pompey fight over whoever was going to rule Rome. Spoiler Alert, Caesar wins. Cassius and a few others don`t think Caesar should get all the power, and conspire about overthrowing Caesar, and eventually convince Brutus, Caesar’s best friend and an actual good person, to join their group because, apparently, Caesar will go corrupt. After Caesar’s death,
Most people after reading the play Julius Caesar wouldn’t think that Caesar died a tragic death. The conspirators made Caesar look like a horrible guy that shouldn’t be allowed to rule Rome. They made it seem like Caesar deserved to die, and that he wouldn’t be a great ruler. Caesar was a strong-willed man who didn’t deserve to die a tragic death.
I believe Marc Antony is the noblest character in the play Julies Caesar by William Shakespeare. This is not saying much, in that all are murderers and conspirators' who have motives of power and greed.
