In William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, two speeches are given to the people of Rome about Caesar's death.

This quote applies to Caesar and Merridew because both characters are put to the test when they are given power, but their positions of handling vary. Jack Merridew in Lord of the Flies held his power in an antagonistic manner. He used his power to manipulate the minds of the other boys stuck on the island.

Both Merridew and Caesar held their power in a selfish, governing way, they used their power to control and fear others, and lastly they both created a downfall for their selves due to their uncivilized state.

Julius Caesar and Brutus are more similar than meets the eye. One could argue that both Julius and Brutus are tragic heroes in the tragic play Julius Caesar. This argument is false because Brutus is the one, and only, tragic hero. Brutus is the tragic hero because he possesses the heroic qualities of equality and respect, integrity, and concern for his county, as well as possessing a tragic flaw, which is his own naivety. Heroic qualities can be hard to define, but to simply put it, they are the defining qualities and famed features that define a conqueror. These beliefs often tell the customs and beliefs of the society the hero is from, because this is the way of life for the tragic hero. Every tragic also embeds himself with a tragic flaw. The tragic flaw is the one negative and shameful character trait found throughout that the character just cannot quite seem to control and will lead to their demise, no doubt about it.
