Similarities Between Julius Caesar And The French Revolution

Booth was fatally shot during an attempt to scare him out and capture him. He died believing he was in the right, doing his duty to liberate his country.

Many people can agree that committing murder isn’t an honorable thing to do. The thought of killing Caesar eats Brutus up both consciously and subconsciously. Brutus said “From the time you decide to do something to the moment you actually do it, everything feels unreal, like a horrid dream” (II, i, 60-66). The realization of killing his best friend creates some turmoil inside Brutus. Even though Brutus claims he is still being honorable while he is in the conspiracy, his true underlying thoughts prove otherwise.

The United States and Venezuela were both once colonies controlled by European Nations. In 1765, The American Revolution took place by the rebellious united 13 colonies against British power.

A giant crowd stands packed together in a square eagerly watching a guillotine blade fall. They chant a name, the name of a man grabbing a decapitated head by the hair and swinging it around for all to see with a morbid grin on his face. This man’s name is shouted in the streets, making him famous for his violent acts. The people have turned into a pack of wolves only craving the next kill, the next bloodshed. This brutal time during French history was spearheaded by Maximilien Robespierre following the overthrow of the French monarch King Louis XVI. The people of France despised their absolute monarch because of the bankruptcy of the government, his continued overspending, and the unfair tax laws he established. The savage period of time

The assassinations of Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln can be compared using the logic of their murders: Marcus Brutus and John Wilkes Booth. Brutus, a noble Roman and dear friend of Caesar was drawn to the knife by his overwhelming patriotism, while Booth, an actor and Confederate, was led by “God”. Both figures write about their reasoning and manipulate rhetoric to convince the audiences that their acts were just. Their manipulation of literary devices to persuade the people is compelling, but at the center of each situation, Brutus and Booth are killers.

The other thing that was important was his honor and it makes him a trusted man. Therefore when he betrayes Casesar the people of Rome are confused by why. Caesar was a great leader, but was unliked by many people. Those people use One of the two people close to Caesear and that he trusted. Caesar trusted Brutus because of his honor and then Brustus turns around and kills him. Brutus uses the Quote “ Stoop, Romans, stoop, and lets us bathe our hands in Caesar’s blood up to the elbows and besmear our swords. Then walk we Forth, even to the marketplace, And, waving our red weapons o’er our heads, Lets all cry Peace, freedom and liberty!”(3.1.115-120) This quote is important because it makes is seem like Brutus is trying to convince him self that what he did was right . The title of the play should be changed for those reasons, but also for the fact that Brutus was important to for that fact that he betryed Caesar and then died in battle. He was strong and refused to kill himself unlike all of the other consipators. The point that Brutus made to do that showed his honor and that honor is what should make him be part of the title with

The American and French revolutions continue to be two momentous events that have a multitude of similarities, along with differences. Both the Americans and the French decided to rebel because of the maltreatment which obligated them to follow unfair rules, along with having to pay a vast amount of taxes. Each revolution also came as a result of the people trying to claim their independence, along with their freedom from the government that controlled them. Once the revolutionists won, the Americans, along with the French created their own political documents. While these revolutions contain more similarities, a difference that appears would be that the Americans received outside assistance from French troops, and the French received nothing.

“Pearls don’t lie on the seashore. If you want one, you must dive for it,” (Chinese proverb). Dive for dreams, nothing worth having comes easy. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. and Brutus attempt to gain support in altering government in order to influence positive change in society.

    Brutus and Cassius are both conspirators against Caesar, but for diverse reasons. Brutus, though pressured for the wrong reasons by his friend Cassius, joins the conspirators solely to promote the well being of Rome.

His wife Portia comments on the anguish caused from his inner battle between his love for Rome and his love for his Caesar. "Yesternight at supper you suddenly arose and walked about, musing and sighing, with your arms across" (Julius Caesar, 571, act 2, scene 1). Portia displays her concern of her husband's problems,

During the late 18th century, two great revolutions occurred, the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Between the years of 1775-1783, The American Revolution was fought between the thirteen British colonies in North America and Great Britain, their mother country. Thomas Hutchinson, the royal governor of Massachusetts at the time, sums the reason for war best, saying "‘No middle ground exists between the supreme authority of Parliament and the total dependence of the colonies: it is impossible there should be two independent legislatures in one and the same state'" (Van Tyne 135). The American Revolution was effectively a "conservative" advancement, and was fought
