William Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar

             Questioning the truth known by the mob helps to alter the minds' of the Romans throughout Antony's speech.  Antony gives factual information about good deeds that

After Brutus finishes his speech, Antony speaks about his opinion on the issue; unlike Brutus, Antony acts slyly and communicates a very manipulative tone to persuade the Romans to rebel. Because of Antony's use of parallelism, he creates vivid reasoning for his speech. He states, “ I come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him” (III.ii.44). By using this device, he shows the people of Rome that he isn't praising Caesar, he is putting the leader to rest. This particular line creates a very manipulative tone, because his speech is all about what great this Caesar has done and how he wants to rebel against the conspirators. Further more, Antony uses a lot of irony to slyly get his point across. One example that he uses throughout the speech is “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is a honorable man” (III.ii.44). Because of the repitition of this ironic statement, the meaning of it changes and intensifies. At first, his tone was sincere, but as the speech progresses, you can see his sarcastic tone increases. Antony does this because he has to use this device to surpass the regulations of Brutus, as well as make the romans listen. Lastly, he uses personification to give life and further meaning to a word. Early in the speech, Antony says, “The evil

In William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, two speeches are given to the people of Rome about Caesar's death. In Act 3, Scene 2 of this play Brutus and Antony both try to sway the minds of the Romans toward their views. Brutus tried to make the people believe he killed Caesar for a noble cause. Antony tried to persuade the people that the conspirators committed an act of brutality toward Caesar and were traitors. The effectiveness and ineffectiveness of both Antony's and Brutus's speech to the people are conveyed through tone and rhetorical devices.

Before the great works of Shakespeare, Julius Caesar was famous in his Roman city which. Julius Caesar was a dictator that turned the Roman republic to the Roman Empire. Even though the life time of Julius Caesar took place in 100 BC – 44 BC, people everywhere will mention Caesar’s name and legacy.

The protagonist in this play is Julius Caesar. He is the Protagonist for many reasons. One is that the main plot if the play is to kill Caesar for being a bad ruler against Rome. The consipators were making plans to kill Caesar. There are many warnings in the story that Caesar is going to die, but he ingores all of them because the consipators tell him not to.If he wasn’t the Protagonist then there would be no need to have him in the play for most of them time. Even after his death Caesar still makes many appernices in the book and that makes the other charcters die. Protagonist is the main charcter in a story and that is what caesar is. It is clear that no one else is the Protagonist except for Casear. Caesear lives on in the

The most predominate and important aspect In the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare are the speeches given to the Roman citizens by Brutus and Antony, the two main charaters, following the death of Caesar. Brutus and Antony both spoke to the crowd,using the same rhetorical devices to express their thoughts. Both speakers used the three classical appeals employed in the speeches: ethos, which is an appeal to credibility; pathos, which is an appeal to the emotion of the audience; and logos, which is an appeal to the content and arrangement of the argument itself. Even though both speeches have the same structure Antony’s speech is significantly more effective than Brutus’s.

No matter how hard one tries to avoid being manipulated, it is impossible to avoid all sources such as documents, leaders and friends. Manipulation, the ability to alter the position or influence a person, occurs everywhere one goes. Throughout Julius Caesar by Shakespeare and The Life of Caesar by Plutarch, the theme of manipulation was revealed through countless instances showing both its sources and effects. Several of the characters in both accounts, such as Brutus, Caesar, and the people of Rome, were manipulated one time or another, by sources such as their close friends who merely desired their ideas and plans to continue forward.

In particular, the characters Mark Antony and Brutus give speeches due to a complication in the plot that connect each of them to the play's resolution. Caesar's death was the climax of the play, and affected the plot drastically. The speeches given by Mark Antony and Brutus can be compared and contrasted in much consideration of their overall impact on the conclusion of the play.

Ed. Michael L LaBlanc, describes the play as most critics would. LaBlanc explains the play about the events that happened after the assassination of Julio Caesar and the destiny of the conspirators and Rome. He explains how the main characters have difficulties in making choices about their personal ambitions, their civil obligations and the duties with their families. Julio Caesar though is wife has persuaded him not to attend the ceremonies that the senate has prepared for him, is easy for one of the conspirators to convince him to go. Caesar’s attitude shows preference to his fame and power above the premonitions that his wife has revealed to him, and ultimately Caesar walks into his own death. Brutus also is let guide by a conspirators

In a play, there are always heroes and villains. A hero is someone who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievement, and has noble qualities. In Julius Caesar, Brutus is an example of this. Despite the death of Caesar, Brutus is a hero. This shows when he is noble, honest, and admired by other characters in the play.

Often in fiction, a character who murders another character is often viewed as the villain of the story. Their crime usually stems from their own deep rooted hatred of a person and is often in some way personally benefiting to themselves. However, this is not the case of Brutus in Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar. Brutus’s plan to murder Julius Caesar does not make him a villainous man but a rather noble one. Despite his plot against Caesar, Brutus’s intentions were always one-hundred percent honorable.

Julius Caesar was a crucial political figure that saw the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman empire. Through political strategy and military feats, Caesar seized significant power and influence over Roman politics and eventually declared himself a “dictator in perpetuity”. He centralized the government, passed social and bureaucratic reform, and even created the Julian calendar. However, he was soon assassinated by senators led by Marcus Brutus who stabbed him to death, after which the empire underwent several civil wars. His death is considered by historians as a watershed in Roman history, and one of the most influential assassinations in history. In Shakespeare 's play Julius Caesar, Caesar 's death was preceded by numerous omens: a severe thunderstorm, a bird of night screaming in a marketplace, and even a lion walking through the streets.

She includes that before this scene, Brutus is convinced to join the conspirators in killing Caesar and now Brutus is showing his leadership skills when convincing the conspirators of his ideas. This part of the play is significant because in this scene, Brutus decides and convinces the rest of the conspiracy to not let the wise old Senator Cicero join them and not to kill Antony. As the play progresses, it can be seen that having Cicero with them may have aided in their enterprise because of his experience and if they had decided to kill Antony along with Caesar, he would never be able to revolt against them, killing them. The next slide presents Emily’s description of the literary elements that Shakespeare includes to capture the reader’s attention and to paint pictures in their mind. The elements she includes are metaphors, simile, rhyme, allusion, anachronism, personification, and soliloquy. With an example quote for each use of figurative language, Emily and My present the reason Shakespeare included them. One example is anachronism which is presented in the quote “The clock hath stricken three” (2.1.207-208), showing the error in time because clocks were not yet invented in Julius Caesar’s time period. Metaphors and similes are also important because

The Renaissance was a time in which mankind was rediscovering itself. For ages, men were simply trying to exist, survive more than anything else. The Renaissance was a period in which men no longer had to just get by everyday, but could begin exploring morality. No other Renaissance author characterizes this more than William Shakespeare in the early 1600s. His plays highlight the internal moral struggle that every man goes through, the concept of what is right and what is wrong in a world that is full of gray areas. More specifically he deals with the concept of honor and morality in several of his plays. Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Henry V, to a lesser extent, deal with how men handle these and can reconcile otherwise heinous acts. Now, being well aware that Shakespeare does not account for all the Renaissance writers, however his are the most prevalent still today and it can be argued that Shakespeare did not work alone. For the sake of organization, it is far easier to tackle these literary works in chronological order and analyze the individual pieces first and then view them all as one whole.
