The Conspirators Who Killed In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

“I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was born in July 100 BC and he died on March 15, 44B.C. Caesar was a general, politician, and a dictator. Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered. He gave Rome hope for a better future and a promise of new land, jobs, and wealth. Caesar accomplished many things for his country like win many victories, developed the Julian calendar, and redistributed land to the poor. He used many different tactics and strategies to win his wars. Through brilliant military tactics, Julius Caesar, ruler of Rome from 49 B.C. to 44 B.C., guided the people of Italy and Rome to achieve many victories, allowing him to become a powerful ruler, hero, and inspiration and leaving a legacy that still shapes the world today.

"Experience is the teacher of all things.Veni, Vidi, Vici. (I came, I saw, I conquered.) It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience." - Julius Caesar. On March 15, 44 BC Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own senators next to the Theatre of Pompey. He was assassinated during a meeting with his senators, he was scheduled to leave for war on March 18. Julius's murders were his own senators and even his own protegè Marcus Brutus. These people plotted against Caesar because of a conspiracy and because they were angry that the new prospect kept getting orders from Caesars underlines. The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a strong political leader and he fought for the people of Rome; however some believe that he only wanted power and to be a dictator.

Everyone in Rome appeared to have a deep fondness for the adventurous, potent, and supercilious Caesar. In the time period in which Julius Caesar took place, the power was split evenly among the court to which no single man could rule (Eastman), but Caesar was starting an uprising which had the potential to change the way authority was distributed. He was adored by everyone around him and seemed to be flocked with his admirers at any given time. Soon this got to the point where Antony offered him the crown to the throne. Eventually, Cornelius recognized the change in the way the government was functioning and started to become envious and bothered by the shift in power. Eventually, his own selfish ambition drives him to go to one of his closest companions, Brutus, to see if they could put an end to the chaos in the jurisdiction. At first, Brutus is

Noticing this, Brutus, one of the conspirators whom Caesar trusted, convinced him to ignore pleads of others by stating “Come, good sir, pay no attention to the babblings of these men, and do not postpone what Caesar and his mighty power has seen fit to arrange. Make your own courage your favorable omen.” ("The Assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 BC,"). Caesar entered the Senate not knowing that amongst those showing him respect by standing up were the ones conspiring against his life. Those that were afraid to meet in public while planning the attack had the audacity to put their plan in motion confident that none of the other fifty other

Julius Ceasar was stabbed to death today by a group of conspirators on his way to the senate. Considering the fact that Julius had made this walk without bodyguards everyday, this was extremely unexpected. As far as punishment for the conspirators we are unsure of what will happen.

Caesar seemed very much like a king to Brutus, but since Caesar has spared him after he defeated Pompey, who Brutus has sided with during the Caesar/Pompey war, it made his decision to turn against Caesar a hard decision to make. Being faced with a very serious decision is another characteristic of a tragic hero that Brutus possessed.

It goes into detail about the conspiracy that the Senator’s organized against Caesar. During this conspiracy, the organizing Senator’s realized they needed Brutus’ support. So they left graffiti and messages for Brutus that attacked his pride. The fact that Brutus contained excessive pride is a fifth characteristic of a tragic hero.

Jealousy drove Cassius to have Julius Caesar killed. Cassius was Caesars closest advisor and used that as an advantage to convince Brutus to destroy the life of Julius Caesar because he felt as if Caesar wasn’t fit to be Roman King. Cassius was also motivated to kill Caesar because he believed that Caesar sought to subvert the republic into his own identity. He felt that is Caesar was Roman King, a dictatorship would form. Cassius’ main intention was to convince Brutus that removing Julius Caesar from power would be a good way to help the republic prosper.

Introduction Julius Caesar’s murder was a cold blooded murder that was conducted on a man who could not defend himself both physically and by law. The conspirators were not right in killing Caesar as this was a malicious act borne out of jealousy and threat; one that would plunge the state into another civil war. The conspirators had created a problem – unproven claims of tyranny - and in trying to deal with the problem, created a bigger problem for the state as a long period of war resulted. In the end, what the senators hoped to avoid became reality, Rome established emperors who were equivalent of kings.

This choice of him ignoring the Soothsayer Could have cost him his life. Calphurnia, Caesar's wife, sees evil omens in the night's storm and asks Caesar not to go to the Capitol. Him going to the Capital also cost him his life. He was given fair warning that something would happen on the 15th of march but he had a free choice in going and he payed the price for

Caesar was an arrogant man who seemed like he wanted to restore the monarchy and overthrow the republic. Cassius and his fellow conspirators can see this happening and want to find a way to stop him. Overthrowing the republic would be just another way Caesar is trying to prove that he is the most important man at the time. “But I am as constant as the Northern Star, of whose true-fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament “ (Julius Caesar page 944 ) Julius Caesar goes even as far as to compare himself to the Northern Star. This shows us a lot about him and even makes us wonder why the citizens loved him. He was not the best of men and would rarely listen to sincere warnings that precede his death. He was warned twice that he would be killed when and where he was killed, but Caesar chose to go anyway. Caesar must have wanted to prove that he was fearless to everyone by going there despite all warnings, that or he truly believed that nothing could harm him. Julius Caesar was so conceited that he would do things in the thought of him and not his people, but he does get what’s coming to him in the

Julius Caesar was considered a great man to some, to others, he is known to be one of the world’s power hungry tyrants, and overall Caesar is an incredibly controversial figure in history. Therefore, Caesar brought prosperity to Rome & helped all common folk. But today, it will be proven that Caesar is a hero to Rome and that by killing him, Brutus committed one of the world’s great tragedies.

Because he had come home with a victory, his popularity with the common people of Rome greatly increased. While celebrating with Roman people at the festival of Lupercal, a soothsayer warned Caesar of the Ides of March. Caesar ignored the warning and continued to celebrate with the people of Rome. Those who were higher up in the Roman Republic believed his popularity with the Romans was becoming a problem because he was quickly heading towards absolute power. This small group of people quickly formed a group of conspirators who were plotting the death of the almighty Julius Caesar. Cassius, the conniving leader of the conspirators, confronted Brutus, who was well known as Caesar’s good friend. Cassius urged that Caesar was becoming too powerful and would be an unworthy, dangerous king. At that point, he persuaded Brutus that he would be a much better leader for the Roman Empire. Undecided, Brutus insisted that he needed time to think about this circumstance because he did not want to kill his best friend to take over the empire himself. Meanwhile, Caesar’s popularity continued to grow among the common people of Rome due to Antony presenting the crown to him, in which he denied three times. To resolve this popularity issue, Brutus then decided that it would be for the best interest of the Roman Empire if Caesar was

Caesar was very confident in his ability to rule and he thought everyone loved him and would follow him with whatever decisions he made. However, the last day he appeared at the Senate thing began to become clear. Caesar showed his surprise when Brutus, his right hand man, came forward against him and petition for Metellus Cimber’s brother. Caesar declared his decision was as “constant as the Northern Star” which made them realize he was becoming a dictator. Casca was the first to stab Caesar then the remaining conspirators joined in and began stabbing him. Once he saw Brutus with the sword he realized he has been betrayed. "Et tu, Brute? - Then fall Caesar" (3.1.77) He realized he had been blind to what was really going on. He had lived

Leading up to Caesar’s death there were a lot of things that he did to make himself a target. A man they called the Soothsayer was the first to warn Caesar about his death. The Soothsayer told him “Beware the Ides of March” (3.1.103) (March 15th), which is the day that Caesar will die on. Caesar believed he was invincible, that the gods wouldn’t want to kill him. He had his doubts though he had his servant as they priest to perform a sacrifice. The priest told him that he shouldn’t leave today, they could find the heart of the sacrificed animal. He continued to ignore everyone who told him that he shouldn’t head to the capitol that morning, even his wife Calpurnia. Calpurnia told Caesar that she didn’t think it was a good idea for him to leave

People of Rome, I, Cassius, stand before you today to tell you the reasons for Julius Caesar’s death. I know that he was a dear friend to some of you, but he was going to destroy Rome. Julius Caesar had to die because he was weak, too popular, and most of all, too ambitious.
