Theme Of Characterization And Miscalculation In Julius Caesar

William Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar provides audiences with an account involving the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, the 44 B.C. conspiracy that resulted in his violent assassination, and the continued violence that dominated Rome consequent to his death. In spite of the fact that the play's title is Julius Caesar, Caesar's character only appears in three scenes. The tragedy's central character is Marcus Brutus and most of the storyline relates to him and to his failure to understand matters from a general perspective when he has the chance to do so. The play actually demonstrates how violence can emerge from individuals misinterpreting behavior seen in others and the idea of violence dominates most of the play, shaping the way that characters interact and think.

He states that Brutus is just as noble and worthy as Caesar. (Act 1, scene ii). He says that Brutus cannot see what everyone else does and recognize his worthiness. Cassius and the other senators do not want Caesar to be king because they would lose all their power. Cassius is slowly luring Brutus in to do his dirty work. He builds Brutus’s confidence up to make him thing that killing Caesar is the right thing to do. Cassius is basically playing with Brutus’s head because he knows Brutus will listen. So, Brutus joins the conspirators in killing Caesar. Cassius tells Brutus that it is for the good of Rome, and that he is saving them from a dictatorship. Cassius is going for Brutus’s weakest point, his care and concern for Rome. He knows that if Brutus believes the people distrust Caesar, then he will be convinced that Caesar must be thwarted. Brutus knew that if Caesar was crowned, he would never have a chance, and he was power hungry. This is what ultimately leads to the tragedy of Julius Caesar. After Brutus kills Caesar off, he starts to feel guilty for killing his friend, thus creating an internal conflict. Brutus was so confident that the plan would go exactly as planned that he fell apart when they encountered problems. If Brutus and the other conspirators had taken more time to think things through, they probably would have been more prepared for the situation that was handed to them.

William Shakespeare uses breathe taking, spectacular, and deep characters throughout the play. From major characters like Caesar and Brutus to smaller ones such as Lucius and Portia they all feel fleshed out and part of the story no matter their stage time. One of the major ways a character is displayed is Brutus as he decides to go against and kill Caesar. Quoted from Shmoop University “Brutus on one hand does not want to kill Caesar since he is great friends with him and respects him very much. But on the other he wants Rome to stay a republic and fears that Caesar will make it into an empire’’. However Brutus is later convinced by Cassius and other conspirators to kill him. Brutus explains how he has a war within himself over this

Brutus was not right to join the conspiracy with Cassius to kill Caesar. When Julius Caesar returned to Rome, he was known as a hero. Other citizens of Rome were afraid that Caesar was going to be dictator for life and have too much power. Brutus was very close to Caesar and had to choose between his friendship with Caesar and to prevent Caesar’s goal to undermine the Roman Republic. Cassius had also convinced Brutus that Caesar was going to make himself a monarch and turned him against his own friend by manipulating him and making Brutus the one to kill Caesar. His reason for killing Caesar was he saw his power as tyrannical and he thought the Roman Republic Government was in danger. Brutus’ reasons are not valid because there was no need to kill Caesar. Brutus supported the republic with good intentions but bad character flaws.

As you read Julius Caesar you get to know the characters better and better. Like you start to understand that Cassius is way wrong with the whole plan to kill Caesar, and that Brutus should not have listened to him, but that we are talking about Brutus let me just say some things about him. Brutus was a fellow friend of Caesar but the problem was is that he started to listen to Cassius a fellow traitor of Caesar but used to be his friend a long time ago, in the story when Cassius and Brutus met on the day when Caesar has come from his conquest from Pompay Cassius told Brutus stories of how Caesar was a little girl and that he got cold for just falling in to the river and how he cried for help and Cassius helped him but he was a shamed of having such a little girl of a leader. To say the truth Brutus was not that bad of a person, he was a very good friend with Caesar, I bet he would have helped Caesar with anything, but the things changed and Cassius persuaded Brutus that Caesar was a

His logical ability to rationalize the conspiracy to kill Caesar, is weak, and a fallacy. Brutus says that he assisted in the murder of Caesar because Caesar was ambitious and that he would have become a tyrannical king. Although we know that Caesar did, in fact, want the crown, nobody can say for sure that he would have destroyed the Roman republic, or become tyrannical.In fact, we know that one of Brutus’s main reasons for killing Caesar was based off of the presumption that Caesar would become a tyrant. Brutus continues to say that he loved Rome more, but contradictingly he killed a leader that is very popular amongst the everyday citizen of

He trusted Anthony, by thinking he would not blame the conspirators in his speech at Caesar's funeral, a promise which Anthony did not keep and in turn made the other conspirators get into many problems. Brutus also was too trusting in Cassuis, because Cassius only wanted Brutus to be a part of the conspiracy to get closer to Caesar. Brutus really helped in killing himself. Brutus was not really out for power at all, all he wanted was to make Rome a better place for all of his people. Power did not corrupt dear old Brutus, but it did end up destroying him in the end. Power was not the main intensions for killing Caesar in Brutus' eyes. Now, Brutus was already as honourable as can be, but this situation made him weak. This is because instead of facing the consequences of being taken hostage by Anthony's army, he decided to commit suicide. This is a very cowardly move and sort of makes anyone reading fell like they lose any sort of respect they had for Brutus at the beginning of the

In the beginning of the play, we meet Brutus, a highly respected, much loved, senator of Rome. He loved Rome as a republic and he has a good life until he is led astray by Cassius. When he becomes embroiled in the assassination of Caesar, he is very reluctant to do so. In the way he acted, you could tell he has sleepless nights over what he should do. He decided to kill Caesar for

Brutus and Caesar were once best friends but had differing views on the best future for Rome. This not only drove them apart, but led Brutus to participate in Caesar’s assassination. Caesar was going to be crowned dictator for life and Brutus knew that he would “rather be a villager/ Than to repute himself a son of Rome/Under these hard conditions at this time /Is like to lay upon us” (I.ii.180-184). Brutus knows that if Caesar receives that amount of political power that comes with being a dictator, he will become even more power-hungry and egotistical. This causes Brutus to make the very difficult decision to join in the conspiracy of Senators that were planning to kill Caesar. His decision also marks a point of no return, Brutus would

So call tThe virtue of Brutus was that he cared about the public way more than his own private life. If he was convinced that someone was trying to disrupt the government in a way, he would much prefer them to vanish. Once he heard about Caesar trying to be dictator of Rome, he immediately sprung into action just for the better of Rome. As seen by the traits of Brutus, he didn’t have the intention of wanting more power but instead to protect Rome.he field to rest, and let’s away To part the glories of this happy day.”Shakespeare has included this moment to depict that even though Brutus was one of the murderers of Caesar, he was truly an innocent conspirator. He killed Caesar thinking that it was better of Rome, not the intention of gaining

“A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred lovable moments spent together within a minute: (Khushi Throne). Every single day in this world we either experience ourselves, or observe false impressions transpire. In fact, people conceive that the utmost distance individuals can have between each other is confusion. In the play, “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare, there are numerous examples of misinterpretations. That is why the theme of “The Tragedy of JUlius Caesar” is that life can have many misunderstandings that can lead into poor decisions.

William Shakespeare has been dead for centuries yet he still captures the world with his unique writing style and beautiful words. People don’t understand half the stuff he says but they still manage to learn an important lesson about the world after they read one of his works. Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar to teach us about being human and the flaws that come with it. Caesar, Brutus, and Cassius hold powerful positions in Rome. Although they seem mighty and strong to the public, they, like any human being, have their flaws. However, their flaws lead them to make poor and rash decisions that result in bad consequences.

They think that he should’ve come up with a different idea and convinced the conspirators to go along with his new idea. While this does seem like a good idea there are a few reasons why he couldn’t. Brutus had already been manipulated to believe that killing Caesar was the only way to prevent him from becoming a king and turning Rome into a slave driven country. Also the conspirators had already made the decision to murder Caesar and wouldn’t have been easily swayed. Brutus also casted away his doubts and decided to put his whole heart in the conspirators plans for
