Julius And Gerry In The Film 'Remember The Titans'

In comparison to the perceptions both Cassius and Brutus have towards Caesar, is the perspectives of Antony and Caesar of himself. Antony looked at Caesar as a friend, a role model as well as a kind and deserving leader. This notion is exemplified through the use of emotive language “O mighty Caesar! /most noble blood of all this world/ the noblest man/ That ever lived in the tide of times”. Furthermore, the use of descriptive and connotative language throughout Antony’s

It wasn’t just Calpurnia that was upset, Mark Antony, a good friend of Caesar, was completely depressed and raging with anger at the same time. “Those worthless blocks of stones, how could their hearts be so dark to inflict pain on one of the most generous and good hearted people of Rome,” Mark Antony explains with tears in his eyes. “They shall suffer great consequences in the near future and only time will tell when their journey will also come to an end.”

Marc Antony, Brutus, and Cassius are all critical characters in William Shakespeare’s famous play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Due to their distinctive personalities and values, there is no trait that all of these characters share, although they do share some traits with one another. Firstly, Marc Antony and Cassius are manipulative in nature, while Brutus is not. Secondly, the root of Brutus and Cassius’ failure is their personality flaw, while Marc Antony proves strong in all the ways they prove weak. Lastly, Antony and Cassius, unlike Brutus, do not separate their private affairs from their public actions while acts only with honor and virtue and completely ignores his personal concerns.

In the frame structure, the two voices operating off each other raise a question of motive between the two narrators. Julius' motive is clearly to mislead John and Annie so that he will

     In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare shows how friends often betray each other. Julius Caesar is about to be crowned king of Rome, when some well-known Romans decide that it is not a good idea for this to happen. They form a conspiracy and kill Caesar. Brutus, an honorable Roman and a very good friend of Caesar’s, betrays Caesar by killing him for the good of Rome. Antony, Caesar’s best friend and another honorable Roman, betrays Brutus by turning against the conspirators. Cassius, a respected Roman, and Brutus betray each other by arguing and destroying their friendship. All this betraying lead to many deaths in the play.

Unlike the common view of leaders, the potential leaders of Julius Caesar are not necessarily nice or giving. However, sometimes that is necessary. In the play Julius Caesar, a long tale of leadership shows the true qualities of the greatest leaders. Where the reader finds themselves started is at the point which Antony and Caesar, the overconfident leader of Rome, are discussing people around them. This discussion boils to a point in which Antony and Caesar discuss the possibility of Cassius being a threat to Caesar. Later, readers find Cassius is indeed a threat, as he and multiple others, including Brutus, stab Caesar to death. Antony then brings Caesar’s body to the multitude, and with a great speech inspires a hatred for those who wrongfully stabbed him. At the next point Antony is seen, he and Octavius are the new rulers of Rome. These two comrades go and finally eliminate the last of the traitors, Cassius and Brutus, in a battle that cements the two as the new leaders of Rome. Throughout all these actions, one man particularly showed that he should control the Roman Empire. Antony was created to be Rome’s leader in Julius Caesar, where William Shakespeare gave him inspirational abilities, persuasiveness, and fearlessness which are unparalleled.

Divus Julius. There is a plethora of similarities and congruencies in the lives of the two individuals. These include the similar timeline which the two follow, as well as the fact that the people in these timelines are structurally the same, even by name and location. Further, their passions and posthumous fate are astonishingly alike when juxtaposed and connected. They also seem to have similar characters and personal charismas which help us merge the image of the two into one. These similarities may provide

The narrator, describing their viewpoint as coming from “All of” their eyes as opposed to just “their eyes”, suggests that while Julius was a hero for Victor and Adrian, he was also a hero for the wealth of people who live on the reservation— “all of their eyes” share the same viewpoint. It is also suggested that because “all of their eyes” look towards the cup, Victor, Adrian, and others are not completely sure of Julius’ future, and are still hopeful that he will succeed. Everyone, with all of their eyes, watches the path of Julius’ life, his success climbing at a positive rate until it plateaus, and eventually crashes due to alcoholism. Even though Adrian and Victor predicted “Julius is going to go bad” (49), once he actually got bad, they instilled hope in him until he was completely hopeless — this demonstrates the idea that because their only true hope is someone who can make it “out”, until that person has truly “come down whole to the ground”, they will not retract their faith and their hope in that

Being Yourself in Mean Girls and Julius Caesar There are differences and similarities between the movie Mean Girls and the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Rome and modern day high school are very different because the Romans didn’t have the same concerns as modern day people. In Mean Girls, Gretchen Wieners makes a reference to Julius Caesar by saying, “We should all just stab Caesar!”(Mean Girls). Gretchen is comparing Regina George to Julius Caesar, which shows that Mean Girls and Julius Caesar have a lot in common, and Caesar is still relevant today because the play teaches a lifelong lesson about being modest and not trying to be better than everyone else and certainly not thinking you are immortal.

There is a power struggle of these two characters from the very beginning—they are both narrating the story. Most, if not, all, stories are given one narrator for the story—the same thing goes for plays. The northerner is not more of a narrator than that of Julius himself. This shows one of the first conflicts that must be dealt with in the story: Who is going to be in charge because there cannot be two bosses. In the Theatre world of terms this is called a moment of intrusion. The moment of intrusion is when a character(s) breaks up what was already set in place—sort of like ‘The Given’. The former plantation is the stasis—a quiet, peaceful environment. The stasis is what the reader already realizes as the setting, it is what we are familiar with in the story and we know how it starts out. The northerner has now become the intruder of the story, he wants the plantation and plans to take it and make it his. This moment of intrusion displays a conflict and now there must be a challenger—Julius. The challenger, Julius, is the character who seeks to maintain the stasis; someone who wants to maintain their order that all are comfortable with. Julius is unwilling to see this, the North, come to fruition and now has the task of the challenger—the one who makes sure the intruder is not successful. From the moment these characters are given

Julius Caesar’s, one of the main leaders of Ancient Rome, reign was short lived because some of his fellow leaders, including his best friend, Brutus, murdered him. Mark Antony, a Roman politician, general, and ally of this leader, gives a speech at his funeral in William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar. Antony’s purpose is to convince the people of Rome that Brutus and his men wrongfully murdered Caesar. He adopts a sarcastic and snarky tone in order to convince the public that Brutus and his “honorable men” are not the noble, just people that they call themselves. Mark Antony delivers a speech at Julius Caesar’s funeral to persuade his audience that Brutus and his men unjustifiably murdered Caesar.

The final demonstration of the theme is when Antony, a follower of Caesar, cleverly uses pleasant words against Brutus and the conspirators. In the scene where Antony speaks, Caesar is already dead and Antony could publicly speak only if he did not dirtied Brutus’s name or Caesar’s. He blatantly calls the conspirator honorable: “The noble Brutus/ Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. / If it were so, it was a grievous fault, / And grievously hath Caesar answered it. / Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest/ (For Brutus is an honorable man, / So are they all, all honorable men), / Come I to speak in Caesars’ funeral” (3.2. 912-13). The power of Antony’s speech and the manner her referred to his enemies was fabulous. He achieved the plebeians’ ultimate approval and will succeed in avenging Caesar’s death. He did so by using wise and well-chosen words.

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

The three actors that I have decided to identify from the movies, Remember the Titans are: Denzel Washington, Will Patton and Wood Harris. Their classification is that Denzel Washington is categorized as a personality actor. Will Patton is a categorized as an impersonator actor and Wood Harris is also categorized as a personality actor as well. I fell that Denzel Washington is considered to be a personality actor because the role or character that he plays (Coach Herman Boone) is a man who demands perfection from his players on and off of the football field. Washington embodies the role of the character making it hard to tell the difference between the actor and his character or role being play (Goodykoontz & Jacob, 2014). Will Patton is

"We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” This iconic quote said by Martin Luther King Jr. speaks volumes and its relevance can be traced back to 44 B.C. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare contains one of the most influential speeches known to man, Mark Antony’s funeral speech. Political and historical figure, Mark Antony, speaks at Julius Caesar’s funeral after his dear friend’s assassination. The subject of the speech entails how praiseworthy a leader Caesar was and the level of respect and admiration he had for the plebeians and the patricians of Rome. Persuading the citizens of Rome against the conspirators is Mark Antony’s purpose for this oration. Antony embraces an ironic and sarcastic tone
