Julius Caesar Analysis

Julius Caesar is very much a warrior and he thinks that he is above every one else and that he is more than an ordinary man. As a result he is very arrogant and takes very little notice of the people around him. As far as he is concerned, they are meaningless and not worth his time. He believes he is honourable but really is not. In a way he wants to be trusted and to be a trusted leader of the Roman people but he is very unwilling to do anything to gain trust. Ordinary people have a great deal of respect for Caesar and probably believe that he would be a good, powerful leader who has Roman's troubles at heart. Caesar probably believes those things as well but he is ruthless and he craves power. He also believes that everybody likes him

There have been many famous leaders in Roman history but none could match Julius Caesar[See Figure 1]. Julius Caesar was born on July 13, 100 BC in Rome and died March 15, 44 BC in Rome. Julius Caesar is best known for his military mind and how he laid the framework for the Roman Republic. One of the quotes he is famous for is "I came, I saw, I conquered." Caesar has not just influenced Rome, he also influenced the world too. The Roman Calendar was rigged to help political purposes. Caesar devised a new Calendar called the Julian Calendar to combat that manipulation[See Figure 2]. The Calendar still has an influence in Eastern Orthodox Christian countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Greece and much more. That is only one out of many

In Shakespeare’s play, Caesar is a highly respected man that holds great power, and as he gains more power there are men who stand to oppose him. This is how Caesar shows so many good qualities of leadership, like keeping an open ear to the people, being observant and proud, as well as being honest. The attributes that Caesar shows has gained him the trust of all of the people, already proivng just how worthy he is to be called the greatest authority figure in Shakespeare’s drama The Tradgedy of Julius Caesar.

Perspectives can be controversial, commonly used as topics for debates and in fact, used to solve certain disputes between people. First, to understand the idea of perspectives, the definition of “perspective” is the state of one's ideas, the facts known to one, the faculty of seeing all the relevant data in a meaningful relationship, basically a mental view or prospect. All these definitions, taken from the dictionary, are linked and are somewhat related the common factor being, they are all formed by certain ideas, ways of seeing the world and its problems or its occurrences in general. An example of clashing perspectives having a significant impact on all of our lives would be perhaps past wars and feuds.

Brutus is a betrayer. He stabs his best friend, Caesar after conspiring against him with a group of others. However, many people would disagree on my opinion. They say that Brutus was doing what was right for his country and that he HAD to stab his best friend to save Rome.

Throughout Acts 3 & 4 of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, there are many twists and turns throughout the journey which make the story a success. Such as the favorite and well known scene of many, Act 3 Scene 1. Act 3 Scene 1 contains surprises for the reader, and provides much dialogue to the story. The scene starts off in Rome’s public square, when Caesar arrives with his conspirators to meet the soothsayer, Popilius, in which he says, “I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive.” (JC III.i.34) To say the least, Caesar’s conspirators are baffled with anxiety not knowing Popilius’s intentions when he made that comment, they are even more so on their toes that they’re tempted to kill the fortune teller, but stay patient when Brutus tells

Julius Caesar is mostly known for his great leadership in Rome´s Empire, he accomplished everything he purposed and he did whatever it took to make it happen. He had all it took to be such a leader; women were in love with him, men wanted to be part of his army and children wanted to be like him when they grow up. For Caesar all it took was courage and selfishness to get to where he was.

“Julius Caesar”, a play by William Shakespeare, constantly is unclear about who is in the right and provokes ambiguity, yet sometimes, it evokes deep pathos and divides the audience into two parts based on the audience’s personality. There were many choices to be made in the text; most of the important one’s , such as Caesar’s, are decisions that can swing in both directions. This also applies to the first scene of Caesar’s triumph. On the contrary, the moving speeches of Brutus and Antony at Caesar’s funeral will divide the audience into two. Without emotions, most events are ambiguous, but as sentiments allow the text to connect more personally with the audience, a rift is created within it.

Gaius Julius Caesar, a man of honor, born on 13 July 100 BCE, is currently on the look to be our next supreme ruler of the Roman Republic. He has been offered the crown three times to become our Republic’s new emperor after his astounding victory at the Battle of Munda. Even though most prestigious generals would gladly accept the offer to rule this civilized republic, he did not. Not only is Julius Caesar a great general, but he has also claimed descent from Ascanius, King of Alba Longa; son of Trojan Prince Aeneas; son of Prince Anchises and goddess Venus. Julius Caesar, as he is most commonly known, had a moderately tough childhood just like any other civilian out there. When he was just sixteen years old, his father, Gaius Julius Caesar(Sr.),

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is the story of the resulting conflicts from the assassination of perpetual dictator and Roman emperor, Julius Caesar. A great friend of Caesar, Mark Antony, comes to the senate to see the dead body of their dictator. He pretends to not be angry at those who took part in the assassination, and asks to speak at his funeral, a request which he is granted. However, after the men leave, he begins a soliloquy in which he suggests that Caesar's spirit will take revenge upon his murderers and invoke a war involving the entire country. Antony begins the revenge of his death by speaking at the funeral about the wrong done to Caesar, the man's generosity to the people, and how Brutus tried to persuade them to

While reading this passage it became obvious that there was a building tension among Caesar's loyal followers and those who despised the future he held for Rome. It is my understanding that Caesar is not as superior and admired as he, himself, may believe. Murellus and Flavius condemned the plebeians for their ever changing loyalties and cheering for Caesar when they once cheered for his enemy, Pompey. Caesar has just conquered the sons of the deceased Pompey. He has won in a civil war, not a foreign contest.

Ever wondered what it takes to be a good king or ruler? Julius Caesar is one of the most famous rulers of all time. He was one of Rome’s greatest and most powerful leaders. His changes to the empire helped take Rome to new levels of success. The life of Caesar was short, yet great. It is important to learn about this great man and his many accomplishments.

As Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once suggested “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth”; embodying the notion that conflicting perspectives are held by different people towards both events and individuals. I believe that this common idea is held true in William Shakespeare’s production ‘Julius Caesar’, discussing the conflict between Brutus, Cassius and Antony, Richard Glover’s Sydney Morning Herald article ‘Take a Moment to Mourn the Mainstream’, debating against the depreciation of the respect over radio stations between generations, and Frank Capra’s classic film ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’, which expresses the triumph of American ideals

William Shakespeare has written many plays that touched millions of people throughout the centuries. His works are still the most controversial ones favored by many Literature critics because his plays generate spontaneous debates on issues such as friendship, revenge, human ambitions and moralities that lead to dynamic discussion among people. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, friendship vs. duty is one of the major themes that is developed. One's struggle over the choice between friendship and duty is depicted through the main character, Brutus, as he battles himself to choose between his duty to carry out people's will and his own conscious hitting on his faithfulness to his best friend Caesar. Although

Two Roman men named Flavius and Marullus see the common people parading in the streets instead of working in their shops. They tell them that they need to know why the men aren’t working. A man informs them that people are celebrating Caesar's victory. Murellus is very upset by this and then calls the workers, "you blocks, you stones" Act1 Scene1 line 34.Then he tells them that Caesar hasn’t hurt an enemy but Caesar killed the boys of Pompey the Great. Pompey used to rule Rome with Caesar until their own group fell apart then they went to battle over the right to rule.
