Julius Caesar Comparison

Although conflicting perspectives are present in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”, the composers bias is still evident. Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” is a play which reflected the anxiety of England over succession of leadership. When the play was written in 1599, intense censorship prevailed and Shakespeare chose Caesar’s story in order to convey significant ideas and messages to the Elizabethan audience about the

“I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was born in July 100 BC and he died on March 15, 44B.C. Caesar was a general, politician, and a dictator. Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered. He gave Rome hope for a better future and a promise of new land, jobs, and wealth. Caesar accomplished many things for his country like win many victories, developed the Julian calendar, and redistributed land to the poor. He used many different tactics and strategies to win his wars. Through brilliant military tactics, Julius Caesar, ruler of Rome from 49 B.C. to 44 B.C., guided the people of Italy and Rome to achieve many victories, allowing him to become a powerful ruler, hero, and inspiration and leaving a legacy that still shapes the world today.

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.

The play Julius Caesar written by Julius Caesar illustrates the murder of Julius Caesar by his Senate and the events that happened after his death. The famous funeral speeches given by Mark Antony and Brutus give the Roman people two different sides of Julius Caesar and his leadership using ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is the credibility of the speaker, logos is the logic or reasoning, and pathos is the emotion of the audience. Mark Antony delivers the most effective speech in the play as he appeals to these three elements in his speech in a more convincing manner than Brutus.

While the group of conspirators meet up there is a discussion of whether kill Antony or not. This is what Brutus has to say, “Our course will seem too bloody Caius Cassius to cut the head off then hack the limbs, like wrath in death and envy afterwards” (II.I.169-71). This is an example of how nice Brutus is, he doesn’t want to kill because he wants to, he kills because he needs to. When Casca and Cassius are talking Casca brings up a good point. He says, “Oh, he sits high in all the people’s hearts (I.III.159-60).This quote shows that since he is popular with the people he has to be nice and honorable for people to like him. When they were at Caesar’s funeral Brutus made mistake and gave Antony permission to speak at the funeral, and this is what Antony said, “For Brutus is an honorable man; so are they all, all honorable men” (III.II.81-82). This quote show that Brutus was nice and he got manipulated as the people turned against them and their

The tragedy of Julius Caesar is a story of struggle and betrayal; however, in it, Shakespeare conveys messages about human nature. Three of the main characters in the play convey the ways that power corrupts and changes people. Brutus’ attitude towards killing Caesar and rising to power, along with his personality, change throughout the first three acts. Cassius’ need for power makes him lose himself and his humanity. Mark Antony, changed by Caesar's death, rises to power after taking it away from those that killed him. In Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, he conveys notions regarding human nature and the ways that power changes and corrupts people; he does this through his characters Brutus, Cassius, and Antony.

In the Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Calphurnia, Caesar's wife, tells Caesar that he should not go out today because it’s the Ides of March, but that she also had a dream. A dream that she saw a statue of Caesar that had blood running down it while Romans were washing their hands in the blood of Caesar with smiles on their faces. Eventually, Caesar does get murdered and there's a funeral held for him which Brutus and Marc Antony talk at. They Roman's follow both men, but can not decide who is more effective.

Caius Cassius is a senator of Rome, brother-in-law to Marcus Brutus, and the sole person behind the group of conspirators who plotted the death of Julius Caesar. Cassius, unlike Brutus, acts out of his need for vengeance and devises certain plans due to his own personal vendettas. Mark Antony is another Roman politician and general and he is also a very devoted friend to Julius Caesar. Antony is calculating, slightly impulsive, and is the main opponent of Brutus and Cassius’ clique.

Ever compared two great leaders to each other? Well, if you have, I will be offering a comparison idea based on Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln. They both were vigorously influencing leaders and managed to move the world's heart at once. These men were born the same day of the month but different months and year. Caesar was born on the twelfth of July, 100 B. C and Lincoln on the twelfth of February 1809.

In one's life, there is always a series of ups and downs. There are moments where life is great, and then it can suddenly go down.

He was a prominent leader in Rome and was in the Roman senate. Shakespeare suggests that life is not always fair through the leader of Rome and politician Julius Caesar.

Brutus and Antony are both loyal honorable men, with different intentions. With different intentions, they're both not on the same path. As of in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus loves Caesar, but loves Rome even more and as of Antony he loves both. Before Caesar death they were both loyal to their leader and honorable. However after Caesars death their true personalities started to emerge. Both of them may seem the same, but slowly you’ll realize the fact that they are different due to their mistakes and decisions.

In the play of Julius Caesar Brutus is the most sympathetic character because he murders Caesar for the good of Rome. Brutus is persuaded by Cassius to kill Caesar and Brutus was a noble Roman. In the final scene Mark antony describes Brutus as the noblest Roman of them all, for this he is the only conspirator who acted for the good of Rome. Brutus think if he kill Caesar Rome will be safe, he did not kill caesar because of ambition he murder Caesar of loyalty to Rome.

Senators and other high status figures are jealous of Caesar's new and growing power, while others, like Brutus, fear the tyrannical rule Caesar could enforce.

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare have many characters throughout the play, but the ones that stand out the most is Mark Antony and Brutus. Mark Antony and Brutus gave speeches at Caesar funeral because they both want to rule even though Brutus is the one who murdered him. Their both are loyal to him and Caesar was good friends with them, even liked them both. There was only one person Caesar did not like and that was Cassius, they didn't like each other which is why Cassius had Brutus kill Caesar because he told him that Caesar was abusing his power making him not like him anymore. What starts he conflict in the play was Caesar death and both Mark Antony and Brutus disagree with who rules making them give a speech causing a lot of conflict between them for what they believe in what is right for Rome and the people.

Firstly, Mark Antony acted loyal to Caesar. Act 1 scene 2 line 9-10 says, ‘I shall remember: when Caesar says,” Do this,” it is preform’d.’ Mark acquiesced to every word spoken by Julius, no matter how absurd or inconvenient. Furthermore, the troubled man loved Julius to the end. Seeing Caesars body, the grieving man wept openly. After his time of grief, Antony proceeded to shake the hands of his friend’s murderers. In doing this, he stated, ‘That I did love thee, Caesar, O, ‘tis true.’(Act 3 Scene 1 line 194). Clearly, he loved his friend to the last. Evidently, the devoted friend stayed loyal to Caesar even after his death.
