While Rosemary finds similarities between herself and Tarzan with their desires to belong, she also “imagined Fern’s life as a Tarzan reversal” (Fowler 103). Fern, like other chimpanzees raised as human children, feels the same displacement and disillusion with her hope to find a home as Tarzan. Even more similar to Fern’s predicament than Tarzan is Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. In the film, humans raise Caesar in their home just as Rosemary’s family raises Fern. The question posed in the film, however, is whether Caesar’s house with Will Rodman, a scientist who tests his medical developments on other chimpanzees, is a home or a prison. In the first few years of his life, Caesar feels that he lacks for nothing and swings, climbs, and leaps his way around the home Will and his dying father share. They treat Caesar like a human child and encourage his development, but deny him, due to their urban residence, a place to freely climb and play with other chimps, a problem that only worsens as Caesar grows. When Will drives him to Muir Woods to play, he first must unhook Caesar’s leash, which leads the ever-stronger and smarter ape to question whether he is a pet to be controlled and held captive or a true member of Will’s family. As he grows older, Caesar realizes that he does not belong with his human family that treats him with contradicting and controlling restrictions, for both his good and bad. Despite feeling a love for and bond with Will, he begins to
On that night it was so cold and dreadful as screaming and crying and yelling filled the house because we couldn't save my little foster kitten in time I guess you're wondering what happened well I'm gonna tell you sorry if you cry but hey I will cry with you.
Julius Caesar is very much a warrior and he thinks that he is above every one else and that he is more than an ordinary man. As a result he is very arrogant and takes very little notice of the people around him. As far as he is concerned, they are meaningless and not worth his time. He believes he is honourable but really is not. In a way he wants to be trusted and to be a trusted leader of the Roman people but he is very unwilling to do anything to gain trust. Ordinary people have a great deal of respect for Caesar and probably believe that he would be a good, powerful leader who has Roman's troubles at heart. Caesar probably believes those things as well but he is ruthless and he craves power. He also believes that everybody likes him
Brutus, Casca, and the others join in the plea. Their pleadings rise in intensity and suddenly,
Julius Caesar. A man who united half of the world. A man who ruled half of the world. A man whose motives to become a leader are lost to mystery. A man who was murdered by his own senators. This is the story of this man. A story of his rise and brief, but deadly, fall. Julius Caesar was a brave hero who made the Roman Republic into the larger Roman Empire.
Act III Scene 2 of Julius Caesar directly follows the scene where Brutus and the other conspirators murder Rome’s leader and general, Julius Caesar. In this scene, Brutus is speaking to a large crowd of citizens, explaining that he killed Caesar not out of hatred, but out of his love for Rome. Marc Antony then enters carrying Caesar’s body; he says that Caesar actually loved his citizens, and even reads them Caesar’s will. Both of these speeches drastically change the opinion of the crowd, which implies that they have fallen victim to mob mentality. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, mob (herd) mentality means “the tendency for people's behaviour or beliefs to conform to those of the group to which they belong” (Oxford Dictionaries). Various literary devices used in Act III Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and visual elements used in the film Julius Caesar (1953) highlight the fact that the crowd has fallen victim to mob mentality, which suggests that Rome would be better off they had a strong government, lead by a exemplary figure like Julius Caesar.
Caesar was a great emperor and he was treasured in Rome. He was a dictator for life, and was the one and only Roman leader to invade and conquer England! He was one of the most powerful leaders in Rome’s history! He was a leader the people and citizens Rome will never forget.
“Veni, vidi, vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered) (Source1). This Julius Caesar quote can be used to describe his rise to power in the Roman Republic and destruction of it in the process. Caesar was an extremely influential, yet controversial figure in Rome’s history. He had all the power any Roman could dream of but he abused it. Julius Caesar was a destroyer of the Roman Republic because his arrogance made the government benefit only him, his ruthlessness endangered others, and he undermined the authority of the Roman Senate.
Every since the day Lucius Junius Brutus had helped overthrow the tyrannical king known as Tarquin the Proud, Roam has been a republic based on the principle that no one man should not hold to much power. For nearly 5 centuries this rule has been upheld. However, now this principal is threatened. Julius Caesar rise to power had been dramatic. After defeating his rival Pompey the great in a civil war his power was at its peak. Due to this events, he got the title Dictator Perpetuo which meant king. However, some of the Senators were not too happy about this because they feared a return to the monarchy they're predecessors worked so hard to abolish, which meant that the power and influence they held could be impeded by Caesar’s rule. For years,
Dakota Smith, HIS 104-19Z1(78100), Spring 2018, Professor Motamedi The book Julius Caesar by Philip Freeman is a display of a true renaissance man. Throughout this book Caesar’s strong leadership skills and political expertise are extraordinarily displayed. Caesar is shown as a hero of Rome as he shows mercy to the innocent cities that surrender, but, he is also made known as a villain when he has the pirates who kidnapped him sent to prison and crucified.(50) Caesar is a very knowledgeable man in many fields and possesses numerous talents which help him succeed.
Was Julius Caesar really a great leader as he appeared to be? Yes, Julius Caesar was a great leader that did much for the Roman Empire. Caesar started trying to fix unemployment in the city, he brought order and peace to Rome, and he strengthened and expanded the state of Rome.
Playwright, William Shakespeare, wrote The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, a piece written in 1599, about the ill-timed death and avengement of Julius Caesar. After the death of Caesar took place, highly-ranked nobleman, Marcus Brutus, attempted to persuade the Roman people that the conspirators’ dire need to kill Caesar was for the sake of Rome. A good friend of the late Caesar, Mark Antony, counters Brutus’s argument by giving a speech that persuades the citizens that Brutus is terribly wrong by addressing the gruesome way in which Caesar was killed, and then flaunting the generosity of Caesar. The Roman citizens become outraged that their humble leader was brutally killed, and they evidently turn against the conspirators and start a civil war. In William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by comparing and contrasting the elements of direct evidence, rhetorical questions, and emotional appeal, it is clear that Mark Antony’s speech at Caesar’s funeral is more effective than Brutus’s speech in persuading the Roman citizens on whether or not Caesar deserved his untimely death.
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a play about loyalty, betrayal, love, and deception. There are many characters with fairly in-depth personalities. Some of the main characters are Cassius, the crafty, deceptive, witty man who is the leader of the conspiracy that killed Caesar. Brutus, the noble, honest, honorable man who is one of the key members of the conspiracy. There is also Antony, who is Caesar's right hand man. He is shrewd and ruthless man, willing to do anything to get revenge for Caesar's death.
Shakespeare analyzed true characteristics of humans and put them into the roles of these characters. We as humans are envious, untrustworthy, and manipulative. If us as a whole were just more open with how we felt we wouldn't have the problems we do. If Brutus went to Caesar and communicated his concerns, Caesar would have listened and taken into consideration what he had to say. Caesar had a close relationship with Brutus and would have taken this into consideration. Cassius felt he was more fit to be in charge because he saved Caesar after going against him in a contest of physical stamina and strength. Instead of realizing that Caesar is older and doesn't have the physical advantage Cassius had. We as humans need to utilize the skill of
Caesar begins to assume a dramatic independence, appearing in italics and appearing like a Shakespearean soliloquy an example of this new dialogue appears at the climax of the novel, as Oroonoko and the group of runaway slaves he has inspired engage in violent rebellion against the oppressive Governor Byam. Inciting his fellow Africans to revolt, Oroonoko exclaims:
On July 12, 100 BCE (some say 102), Gaius Julius Caesar was born. His Mother was of noble birth and his father was the Praetor who governed the province of Asia. His parents supported the Populare ideology, “which favored democratization of government and more rights for the lower class as opposed to the Optimate factions’ ideas of the superiority of the nobility and traditional Roman values which favored the upper classes. The Optimate and the Populare were not political parties in conflict with each other but political groups which many people shifted between.” This would help Caesar later in life.
