Freedom In Julius's Struggle

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

To begin with, courage leads Nick’s father to take on a different role. He answers to his son’s question: “I don’t hear [her screams] because they are not important” (2). In fact, he hears the Indian woman’s screams, but he will focus on the operation deeply; he ignores it. Having prepared for the operation, he has two kinds of courage, which are the pressure of being a good father and the pressure of saving woman and a baby life. This impresses good models to his son because he looks what his father do in the model of father and a professional.

Julius Caesar was the great dictator of the Roman Republic that led to the rise of the Roman Empire. His greatest accomplishments were through his military force which enabled him to be able to conquer vast amounts of land through war; likewise, Czar Nicholas II of Russia, had similar feat. He was a military man who got involved in the Russo-Japanese war and he was the Emperor of Russia. That is what makes these two men very interesting. They have an abundance of things in common as well as a few dissimilarities. Julius Caesar rose to dictatorship through his intelligence and observing how the republican government caved in under the burden of imperialism, the fundamental government had become powerless, and the military even replaced the

Some might say Nike vs.Reebok because the battle between the two lasted over three decades and helped create sporting celebrities into cultural icons. Others might say Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs because they were different as apples and oranges, yet they had much in common because they both created and dreamed of the idea of a personal computer. But is it possible that fate vs. free will spark an idea in peoples’ brains? Maybe. This essay will be focusing on that relationship and balance in one famous piece of work.

Thrust into the world the same as any other, Julius had not been an obvious threat, in fact, he never was. From birth, to childhood, to adulthood, to immortality, he was never obviously a danger. There was no prophecy, and with him never appearing to be anything more than the average man, he was unexpected. However, that didn’t mean he was anything even close to average. In fact, if he was to be compared to the rest of mankind, he’d be a god and they’d be no more than insects. Necessary, but rather pitiful, Julius had no patience when it came to them. As you would squish an ant he murdered mortals. For with a flash of his oddly coloured eyes and a wave of his hand, he sent the world into absolute chaos. A typical Sunday night maybe, barely

In the play Julius caesar, there are two powerful forces and a theme of destiny vs human free will. Fate and free will are one of the many themes and philosophies present in the play Julius caesar. The role of fate along with Humans free will in this novel brings tragic events. “Men at some time are masters of their fates.”(I.ii.146-148), a quote said by cassius, explaining that men most of the time may not have control over their destinies. However characters in the play that follow their free will can create their own outcomes in their lives.

Throughout history, many important events have become more and more grandiose as they are passed down from generation to generation. The case of the Gauis Julius Caesar is no exception. The death of a ruler who conquered vast amounts of territory, was able to proclaim victory in a civil war, and seized power as the singular lifelong ruler of the Roman Empire undoubtedly had seismic impacts on the ancient world. While the assassination of Caesar was documented and written down rather than passed down through oral accounts, instances of fact turning to mythical narrative is increasingly clear. After reading the historical reports of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Nicolaus, it is eminently apparent that events become rather embellished and far-fetched with the passage of time. While Nicolaus could retell the events he may have lived through, Plutarch and Suetonius did not record their versions until more than two centuries later. The acute differences in their accounts are made evident by the details emphasized and various discrepancies between the three accounts.

William Shakespeare's epic and tragic telling of the story of Julius Caesar, provides an interesting and helpful way of examining history in a dramatic context. The concept of violence is evident throughout the entire play. The interpretative quality of violence, and the relative effectiveness of its usage, provides a useful lens for understanding this work. For this essay, I intend to examine the three characters of Brutus, Cassius and Marc Anthony using this particular focus. I will demonstrate how each of these characters and their relationships to violence appears as basically relative and open to interpretation. This quality of violence helps demoralize its use while telling a tale of historic significance and simultaneously revealing useful examples of how this forceful technique and its effects are subjective in nature.

Throughout Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, there are many political issues that arise that impact the characters along with their relationships. As these issues come to light, the character’s speech and actions regarding the issue push the plot along. Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, displays how relationships between both friends and enemies can be affected negatively by the role that conflicting political views and beliefs play in them.

In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar, Shakespeare accurately represents the philosophy of ancient Roman times by intertwining the themes of fate and free will. In ancient Roman times, fate was a predominate theme in life because such a large emphasis was placed on their numerous false gods and omens. Because fate is an adaptable idea that is loosely based on the sovereignty of God, free will is often connected with the concept because man can choose whether he will believe what another man has told him. Shakespeare uses several character in Julius Caesar to show different ways that men use free will to disregard or be overwhelmed by fate.
