The Character Of Julius Caesar

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

Julius was a very opinionated person, who was all about himself and not looking after his own team or anyone else for that matter. For example when Julius was confronted by Gerry, during this conversation Julius said ‘I’m supposed to wear out myself for this team? What team? Nope that’s not what I’m going to do is I’m going to look after myself.’ When this confrontation was happening there were many close up camera shots, this was because the director wanted to show the emotion and anger in the faces of Gerry and Julius. This shows that Julius is a very opinionated person and he only cares about himself, this is shown in what he told Julius.

Julius Caesar was a very arrogant man. He thought very highly of himself. Although, everyone in Rome respected him. They didn 't care what he did. I ii 273 He claimed he was not scared of anything. Calpurnia had nightmares, they were thought as representations of signs of Caesar´s death. Caesar wanted to go to the capitol, Calpurnia told him it was not safe because of her nightmares. In her dreams, there were dead men walking, a statue running with blood like a fountain, while many smiling Romans bathed their hands in the blood. She also had a dream of ghosts wandering the city, a lioness giving

While begin in the sanctuary, Caesar along with the other apes are not treated very well. From the mistreatment, Caesar starts to make plans about how to escape. He would draw on the walls of his cage, and think of a route to break free. When the owners son takes his friends into the sanctuary, one boy went over to see Caesar, this gave the intelligent ape to steal the pocket knife that the boy had without him knowing. Caesar makes a tool that helps him to unlock his cage and free himself and the other apes. Caesar leads the

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.

Like how Koba is to Blue Eyes, Caesar acts as an uncle to Ash due to his friendship with the young ape's father. Caesar knows Ash well as he grew up with his own son, Blue Eyes. Because Ash is Rocket's eldest (and possibly only) child, Caesar has granted him a place on the ape council with Blue Eyes. Growing up, Ash idolized Caesar for his leadership and his views towards humans, which prompted the young chimpanzee to become one of Caesar's biggest supporters.

Caesar is from the capitol so he knows what people want to hear. He brings out things or traits that would be liked. For example, Caesar knows what to say and ask to make Katniss and Peeta look desirable, Caesar says to Peeta, “It’d be hard not to fall for that young lady. ”(133), agreeing with his statement. Striking up conversation puts on a show for his audience; being the capitol, districts, and game makers.

He hoped his name change would convince Romans that he was the closest heir to Caesar and should be next in line for his dictatorship. Furthermore, he was adopted as Caesar’s son. Antony, a Roman General and rival to Octavius, believed that he should be the next leader of the Roman Republic after Caesar was killed. Since he was Caesar’s ally and close friend who had helped him rise to power, Antony thought he should be Caesar’s successor (“Augustus”). As Caesar’s right-hand man, Antony assisted Caesar in defeating Gaul and other enemies, which led to his becoming Caesar’s Second in Command. Both men were powerful in their own way and were competing for control of the Roman

The first topic addressed in this book that I will focus on is the social behavior of apes, specifically on courting rituals and mating behavior, such as the love dance performed by the “humans” in the novel. The second topic is the (in)capability of apes to produce human speech. In the novel, the apes all speak human language, but in reality, this is not a likely possibility.

His love and emotion is fickle as no truly caring man would places his family in a position of hurt. Unsurprisingly Caesar does so easily as personal gain triumphs family loyalty and emotion ,in the form of care for his sister. Naturally, people are a means to an end for Caesar and are of no consequence to him. He is therefore not human because his is absent of the ability to truly love and value fellow humans above what he can attain from them.

Pompey and Crassus were consuls in 70 BC and had rescinded the most offensively reactionary measures of Sulla’s legislation. During Pompey’s absence from 67 to 62 BC during his campaigns against the Mediterranean pirates, Mithridates, and Crassus, his jealous rival. Caesar married Ponpeia after Cornelia’s death and was appointed aedile in 65 BC As aedile, Caesar returned to Marius’ trophies to their former place of honor in the Capitol, thus laying claim to leadership of the populares. When Caesar was a praetor, he supported a tribune who wanted Pompey recalled to restore order in Rome. As a result, Caesar was suspended from office for a period and antagonized Catulus. Before leaving Rome to govern Further Spain for a year, Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia because of the allegation that she had been implicated in the offense of Publius Clodius. The latter was then awaiting trial for breaking into Caesar’s house the previous December disguised as a woman at the festival of the Bona Dea, which no man is allowed to attend. After his return from a successful year administrating Spain Caesar was elected consul for 59 BC through political alliance with Pompey and Crassus . This alliance was called the first triumvirate. Caesar’s purpose was to gain a big military command. Pompey for his part sought the ratification of his Eastern settlement and land allotments for his discharged troops. Crassus sought a revision of the contract for collecting taxes in the province of

A fellow member of the Roman triumvirates. Caesar growing popularity inspires jealousy and fear among the Roman tribunes, and a conspiracy against Caesar takes shape, with Cassius at its head leader. A storm hits Rome. Cassius recruits Caesar’s friend, Brutus, who fears that the people have chosen Caesar as their king. Caesar ignores the warning of a soothsayer who tells him to beware the Ides of March.

The council of orangutans are extremely resistant to any statements, whether truthful or not, that don’t align with their own beliefs. In this scene, each member of the council and Dr. Honorius maintain stern and even angry facial expressions that indicate their disapproval of all statements

The introduction of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Act 1 Scene 1, starts off with Caesar’s return to Rome after a triumph in war. The people cheer upon his comeback to Rome while others disagree that this may be the downfall of Rome itself. The once three peaceful leaders have now become only one after Caesar assassinated Pompeii in battle. Murellus and Flavius question a group of commoners, of the racket upon the streets. When discovering Caesar’s return, they tell the commoners that they are only betraying Pompeii, for Caesar will be the dictator of Rome.

Marcus Licinius Crassus, a popular Roman general and politician, was also a friend of Caesar, but Pompey and Crassus grew older just to become more and more of a rival to Julius than a friend or ally. Julius, with the brains, had convinced them that they would be in better hands as allies. This 3-man allied power became known as the First Triumvirate. With more power than before, Caesar conquered the area known as Gaul which today is known as France and Belgium. During this takeover, his hired political assistants controlled the government for him back home. (Julius Caesar: Historical Background, April 23, 2014)
