Act 1 Scene 1 In plays, the type of language said by characters can have double or multiple meanings. Language can be interpreted to evaluate the main idea of a particular scene in a play. In Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare introduced a conflict in Act 1 Scene 1 through the use of language between the conversations of the commoners and the tribunes to indicate that not all are content with Caesar’s trip back home. To begin, the tribunes’ speech differs from the commoners’ because they are degrading and dehumanizing them. The tribunes perceive the commoners differently, based on class distinctions, education, and wealth. Having said that, they believe it’s alright to speak lowly towards them. For example, Falvius said, “Being mechanical,
Authors often times use diction, figurative language, and dialogue to convey different ideas that highlight the importance of certain characters and the way they feel. Manipulating language allows an author to give insight into the characters, expand the plot, and amplify the reader’s understanding of the piece as a whole. Edmond Rostand does this very successfully in his play,“Cyrano de Bergerac”. The exchanges between characters allow the story to develop, and put an emphasis on the importance of characters through dialogue. By writing “Cyrano de Bergerac” in the form of a play, Edmond Rostand successfully employs dialogue to reveal characters’ inner conflicts through how they interact with each other.

In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare illuminates the themes of human motivation and manipulation. He examines the relationship between actions and motivations, cause and effect, and word and deed, using the symbols of hands and hearts. Throughout the play, the characters Brutus and Marc Antony express their different understandings of this relationship rhetorically. In his 1953 film interpretation, Joseph L. Mankiewicz demonstrates these characters’ understanding through both the play’s original dialogue and his own interpolated action. It is interesting to see the different effects of spoken rhetoric, as we experience it in the play, and the visual rhetoric of the film. The play itself complicates matters of motivation and therefore does not

Centuries away from the time period of Shakespeare, now looking back at his play Othello, this fact seems more evident than ever. Through a relatively short five acts, observers and readers alike are able to witness countless instances of miscommunication and dramatic irony between the characters throughout the play. The perceptive reader is quickly able to realize the immense power of the words spoken between the principal characters and contrast them effects of said words.

We as a republic, must stay together during this state of war. We need a leader. This war must continue, in order to find our rightful leader. Our current leaders declare war, but it is us who must fight and die for our future. Rome shall not fall with Caesar, and it is our duty to make this true. As Antony said, our noble leader Caesar included us in his will. Caesar was a good man and these murderous assassins are traitors! We must seek out and kill these traitors in the name of Caesar, and let none survive. Brutus says that Caesars sin was his ambition, yet he rejected the crown three times. This is not ambition, and Brutus as well as the rest of the conspirators are liars. Let us get our revenge on these traitors, and avenge Caesars death.

In a genre that contradicts a novelist's affluence of narrative explication, the language in its purest form becomes Shakespeare's powerful instrument, wherein he controls it with the unusual combination of force, subtlety, and exactitude”
