Suetonius was a serious scholar who had already made his reputation prior to The Twelve Caesars with several

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare was a persuasion based work. A web of deceit and lies ensnared the entire cast. Almost every movement of the plot was brought about by the spoken word rather than through an attack. The better a character was at charming a crowd, the more likely they were to come out on top.

In Julius Caesar, there are two speeches that people have been put together to see who was more effective, Antony, the loyal right hand to Julius Caesar; and Brutus, a close friend of Julius Caesar, who was manipulated to help murder his friend and to justify their actions.

Cassius’ Speech In Cassius’ speech to Brutus, he explains that Caesar, the man he despises greatly, is weak, mortal, arrogant, and is not fit to be king. Caesar has been known to push passed the ones who have tried to help him in his life and be selfish. Not only is Cassius trying to get his opinion out in his speech, but he also trying to persuade Brutus that Caesar is not fit for the job. Although Brutus and Caesar are great acquaintance's, Brutus may not believe he may be the best man either
