Salad. A Caesar Salad. Stabbed like a salad twenty-three times. Who was responsible for Caesar’s murder. Julius Caesar had reached the highest point in his life for Rome as a dictator.

To begin with, in Document 3 both the historical figures have the same initials of “JC”; Julius Caesar and Jesus Christ are their names. Also, another similarity between both Julius Caesar and Jesus Christ is their welcoming back to their town. They both were welcomed with many arms and many who did not like their coming back. In the play, Julius Caesar had a triumphal entry into Rome (Document 3). Jesus Christ had something similar when he was coming back to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Document 3). Both these events were said to have happened on a Sunday. When Julius Caesar entered back into Rome many commoners joined around to see him come into town.

Caesar’s relationships between prominent Romans and the Senate were a result of the tension between the populares and the optimates: while individuals such as Caesar sought mutually beneficial political alliances to fulfil their own ambitions, the optimates resisted the undermining of the established Republican system of government. Caesar’s political alliances were a method of gain for all involved individuals, however to usurp absolute power, these relationships were necessarily temporary and unstable in nature. Following the dictatorship of Sulla (82 BC), the Senate were especially wary of the accumulation of power by an individual, causing Caesar’s relationship with the Senate to become increasingly tense as his political and military

William Shakespeare was born in 1564, only a little while after the start of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign. As such he lived in a time of civil unrest later in his life because of the ruler being a woman, being childless and not naming an heir to the throne. Therefore Shakespeare used his tragedy Julius Caesar and the Roman politics in the play in order to reflect those of his day. Namely that even the government needs the support of its people, that advice given to political leaders should be taken into consideration, the consequences of rebellion, and the need for an heir.

From the age of 27, Julius Caesar was well respected by the general public due to his military success which led to the rise in his political standing. He worked very closely with many Roman politicians with great public influence including Pompey the Great and Crassus. The public services that Caesar introduced to the Roman population gave the people confidence in his leadership thus leading to the rise of Julius Caesar’s reign in the upcoming years. He portrayed himself as a public servant to the people of Rome which was a key aspect in the rise of a Caesar’s Republic throughout Rome due to the fact that it gave the public influence in the governmental decisions. This sort of leading style was primarily the reason that allowed for Julius Caesar to gain control over Rome without taking over and having the support of the roman citizens with him. It was in 47 B.C. Caesar had began to shape the structure of the Roman Republic through the means of declaring himself as the “Dictator in Perpetuum” and by reinstating an imperial type of government rule but it still brings into question, to what extent was Caesar responsible for the onset of the Republic’s decline. Reinstating the imperial government rule does not necessarily resolve this investigations question as much as greatly support one theory of which states the cause for the onset of the Roman Republic's decline. At the age of 40, Julius Caesar was elected onto the consul due to his military success in order

Mahatma Gandhi once said “There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts.” This quote illustrates the idea that man must live longer with his conscience than with a simple decision made in a courtroom. The distinction between right and wrong must be derived from one’s morals, not the rulings of the state. This concept of conscience conquering law can be applied to works of literature such as the Sophocles’ Greek tragedy Antigone and Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men.

Julius Caesar A Great Leader Being the leader of a group, often times can be a hard position, especially when it comes to meeting the needs of all of its members. Although it is the hope that most things will go right within a group, it also known that things can be magnified when the group does not see eye to eye with the person in charge.

Some reasons we have for this conclusion are that of manipulation by leaders, the illiteracy of the Plebeians and wanting deteriorated morals.

In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting current politics with the politics described in Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar. First, politics are similar because they both involve persuading people to elect certain representatives.

On the other hand, they are different because in Shakespeare's play women did not have a role in government. Whereas in current politics, women are pursuing government positions and are able to voice their opinion during elections. Lastly, politics are different because in the play the conspirators assassinated Caesar
