In this play Julius Caesar shows his theme as the best is pride. He is very prideful and thinks he is better then life it self and better then anyone and everyone. Caesar is unashamed of his arrogance. He doesn't see his condescension as arrogance; instead it's a quality he has earned by proving himself a powerful man. ¨Caesar shall forth. The things that threatened me.Ne'er looked but on my back. When they shall see,The face of Caesar, they are vanished. (2.2.10-12)¨ Caesar is shockingly cocky. Even if he just talks a good game, it's hard to be sympathetic toward him. During Caesar's famous "I'm the brightest star in the sky" speech, he claims to be the most "constant" (steady) guy in the universe because he can't be swayed by the personal
In “The Mountain” Eli Clare addresses the plight and disadvantages of the disabled in society using a metaphorical mountain and her own climbing supercrip experience. In the opening metaphor section Clare explains how the little sympathy the empowered and able have for the disabled. With the supercrip section, Clare asserts that when stories of crippled people “overcoming” their disabilities gain publicity they simply support and reinforce stereotypes, continuing the discrimination of the disabled community (Clare 1999). Due to her cerebral palsy, Clare cannot finish her hike with her friend Adrianne to the top of Mount Adams. Following her disappointment, Clare considers the difference between impairment and disability. According to the article, an impairment refers to the objective inability to accomplish a task resulting from a faulty limb or bodily function. On the other hand, a disability is a product of a structures refusal to account for the impaired (Clare 1999). In the final section titled “Home,” Clare reminisces on the depressing parts of his life: his father raping him, the inconsiderate and harsh slurs, and his impairment. Then, he ponders the body as a home and its functions. Finally, he accepts that he will never be able to call the mountain home, but yearns for a society where ableism is absent, the concept of the supercrip is extinct, and the impaired can live normal lives (Clare 1999).

He repeatedly appeals to Brutus’ anger and ego, making Caesar out to be a power hungry maniac. In one of his speeches, he says “He doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk
Up until this point of the play, not all readers could’ve inferred that Caesar was a self-conceited person. However, this scene confirms it. This passage started off with Caesar,
But I will go out, for these bad omens apply to the world in general as much as they do to me." 4) Caesar believes in himself. 1) Calpurnia 2)
One of the first things to recognize about Caesar is how he listens to what others have to say, which is a very important trait to find in a leader. For example, when he is walking through the streets and a man calls for him, Caesar says,”Who is it in the press that calls on me?/ I hear a togue shriller than all the music/ Cry “Caesar!” Speak. Caesar is turned to hear¨(I.ii.15-17), and when Calpurnia, his wife, tells him that he should stay home because of a frightening dream he eventually gives in and tells Decius why he will not go to the Senate, ¨The cause is in my will: I will not come./ That is enough to satisfy the Senate;/ But for your private satisfaction,/ Because I love you, I will let you know./ Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home¨(II.ii.71-75). Although he was reluctant at first to his wife’s suspicions, after hearing her out Caesar decided to yield to Calpurnia’s wishes. This proves that Caesar does indeed listen to those around him, and considers what they have to say.
Caesar’s ambition, nature and education allowed him to establish himself as a skilled lawyer and orator to enhance his prominence among the people.
excessive pride manifests itself throughout the play in fearing no one. His self-esteem blinds him of reality, almost as though thinking himself of as a god. This is shown when he says, “I rather tell thee what is to be feared/ Than what I fear, for always I am Caesar./ Come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf,/ And tell me truly what thou think’st of him.”
When Caesar first met you, he recognized the impish grin on your face as one to watch out for. He was a heavy flirt, and the two of your personalities mingled well, your playful nature a nice contrast to his arrogance.
I agree with your take on the laws that have been implemented. The Sox law is now affecting more than just publicly traded companies. Private companies adopt SOX provisions either as “best business practice” or because they were hoping to go public or have hopes of being bought by a public company (Before and after Sarbanes-Oxley, 2010). These companies now have to think ahead and make sure they have their internal controls in place. These types of laws have also passed over onto some non-profits. “In 2004 California's legislature passed SB 1262, the Nonprofit Integrity Act, which requires nonprofits with more than $2 million in revenue, chartered or doing business in the state, to have an annual audit and an independent audit committee on

Throughout the play, powerful, old, and wise words lead to the plot and theme of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. A leader that wants power at no cost will hide bad intentions in beautiful words. Words must not be trusted completely, for they lead to
Brutus is a very well respected person who was driven down the wrong path. Cassius who is a manipulative, power hungry person guided Brutus down that path. Cassius manipulates Brutus into believing that his closest friend Caesar, a prideful person, was going to destroy his home, Rome, and made him believe they had to be the ones to stop him from “destroying Rome.”
Being Patriotic is a great thing until it goes bad. Over the course of the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus was a very impactful character. He was one of the main leaders of the conspiracy that killed Caesar. Brutus had a wife named Portia, who later in the play died. After the conspiracy killed Caesar, there were two speeches spoken one from Brutus and the other from Antony who was Caesar's right hand man. Soon after the death of Caesar, Brutus and Antony fought in a battle against each other. The battle lead to countless people left dead and Brutus kills himself. During the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare Brutus patriotism caused him to make decisions based on the good of Rome, not thinking of others’ thoughts, or opinions including his own.
