Killing Caesar By Jon Herman Julius Caesar: A Hero

In the determination of whether Julius Caesar was an intelligent, political hero or an egocentric, dictating villain, it is important to look at all of the facts. Born in 100 B.C.E. and assassinated in 44 B.C.E., Julius Caesar was legendary. He along Pompey, and Crassus created the first unofficial Triumvirate which was negotiated to appease both the Roman citizens and the power hungry rivals. Still, this agreement would not last long. After Pompey’s wife, Julia Caesar and daughter of Caesar’s daughter given to Pompey to establish the Trimvirate, dies in childbirth, civil war breaks out as Caesar leads his army against Rome. He fights until Pompey is murdered in Egypt. As Rome is “shattered,” Julius Caesar one person should rule. He

The death of Julius Caesar was a bitter and gruesome one. He died by the hand of his friend Brutus and his own group of senators who badly mutilated his body. His last words were , “Et Tu Brutus” ? meaning you too Brutus. This was a grave mistake on the part of the assassins because the people of Rome loved Caesar. According to the 1st century article on Julius Caesar, Caesar always took care of his soldiers even the ones that weren’t serving and he gave them all land. Julius Caesar was also loved by Romans because he took care of his people allocating land to every citizen of Rome. Caesar was a hero to the many people of Rome. He was a successful general, a people person, and an intelligent dictator.

The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44BC by conspiring members of the Roman senate was an effort to remove a dictator whose power had grown to extraordinary levels and to revive the Republic government. Caesar’s power span throughout the entire Roman Empire, which during his reign extended from present day Syria, down into parts of Africa, over to Spain, most of France and all of Italy. He had the favor of the people, military and most of the Roman government. Caesar’s death at the hand of conspirators did remove him from power; however, it did not restore the Republic government as the Senate had anticipated, on-the-other hand it gave rise to yet a more powerful dictator that was beyond what Caesar

The protagonist in this play is Julius Caesar. He is the Protagonist for many reasons. One is that the main plot if the play is to kill Caesar for being a bad ruler against Rome. The consipators were making plans to kill Caesar. There are many warnings in the story that Caesar is going to die, but he ingores all of them because the consipators tell him not to.If he wasn’t the Protagonist then there would be no need to have him in the play for most of them time. Even after his death Caesar still makes many appernices in the book and that makes the other charcters die. Protagonist is the main charcter in a story and that is what caesar is. It is clear that no one else is the Protagonist except for Casear. Caesear lives on in the

The definition of a hero is someone who is admired for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Julius Caesar meets all of those requirements. Gaius Julius Caesar is known for being one of the most famous war strategists that ever lived. He was also very popular with the poor and middle class citizens in Rome.

In The Assassination of Julius Caesar, Michael Parenti highlights the many significant people and events that characterized the late Roman Republic. Specifically, he focuses on the time period between the election of Tiberius Grachus, to the rise of Augustus, the first emperor of Rome. In this account of history, Parenti presents the social, political, and economic aspects of the Roman culture from the perspective of the Roman commoner, or plebeian. Using this perspective, he also spends a great amount of time examining the causes and effects of the assassination of Julius Caesar. The views that Parenti presents in this book stand in sharp contrast with the views of many ancient and modern historians, and offer an interesting and enlightening perspective into class struggle in the society of the Roman republic.

Julius Caesar is thought of as the most powerful and glorious ruler to step foot in Rome. The only thing

Initially, Julius Caesar was a hero because he created jobs by building roads, temples, and aqueducts. John Herman writes, “Caesar created jobs by building roads, temples, and aqueducts.” By building these roads, the city of Rome moved supplies easier and faster. By building temples the city of Rome prayed and worshiped their gods in peace. By building aqueducts the city of Rome had a bigger water supply and clean water.

The clang of the swords on the shields pierced General Julius Caesar’s ear. He couldn’t wait till the war against the Greeks was over and he could return home to his wife. He slaughtered 113 enemy soldiers and was still on the hunt to find one. He stepped over 47 bodies, some of which were still breathing and groaning their last breaths on the eastern shore of the river Acheron. Caesar's nemesis was General Brutus,the leader of the greek army, and his old best friend. After the battle at the River of Acheron, General Julius Caesar rode back to his camp, Gleaming in his Ice-white armour, shining in his glory after his victory vs the Greeks.

	Julius Caesar is a play written by William Shakespeare during the year 1597. Julius Caesar’s story involves a conspiracy against Julius Caesar, a powerful senator.

Brutus, Caesar’s best friend, is conned into believing that Caesar is not the rightful ruler for Rome and helps in the murder. Cassius is Caesar’s archenemy and ultimately the reason many Romans turned against Caesar. Calphurina, Caesar’s wife, tries to save his life but, again, Caesar believes himself impervious to danger. Contrary to some opinions, I believe Julius Caesar is the tragic hero of Julius Caesar not Brutus. Caesar died because of his ego and arrogance as well as his back stabbing “friends”.

Julius Caesar is the tragic hero because of his noble stature. The noble stature of Caesar is made evident through his position in society and his outstanding qualities. Caesars position in Rome was that of a dictator. At the start of the play Brutus enlightens the reader that “.... the people/ choose Caesar for their king” (1.ii.77-78). When Brutus says “king” he is actually informing the audience the Caesar has been made dictator of Rome for life. At this time in Rome, the Roman society took pride in being republic.
