Elvin Mallory Mrs. Milling 10th Lit 23 February 2017 “Et tu, Brute?° then fall Caesar”. (1.2.27-28) Those are the words of Caesar after his best friend betrayed him by killing him with a group of conspirators. Perhaps the conspirators had a valid reason for their justifiable homicide of the Roman leader. Caesar was a “serpent's egg”, so Brutus saved Rome by killing him. In the last moments of his life Caesar had the worst feeling of betrayal. His best friend Brutus along with a group of conspirators

Menenius is a man of words whereas Coriolanus is a man of action. This will be explored with reference to Coriolanus as whole. Throughout the play we realise that Menenius Agrippa functions as a foil to Coriolanus. Menenius does not love the plebeians any more than Coriolanus and the other patricians do. Although he calls them his “good friends” and “honest neighbours” we know that he thinks they are all a bunch of “dissentious rogues” and never takes their side when they complain about the social

Hi Mr. Franklin, When we were talking about the river in Siddhartha yesterday, I felt a dull, ringing-in-my-ears kind of understanding. An understanding that wasn't complete, but there was some little piece of it hanging down, waiting for me to grasp it -- begging me, with tears in its eyes, for me to grasp it, but I couldn't quite do it. I understand that the river is the unification of everything. It is eternal, and seductive. A big part of me would really like to live by a river and be a ferry-person

After defeating Macbeth, I realized who he really was. Poor man dealt with power control in an emotional way. He has lied to all of us by committing the horrible bloody crimes he hid from everyone.

Act 1 Essential Question In Act One Scene 1, Cassius had created a secret club of people to over-run Julius Caesar. Cassius did this because he wasn’t fond of Caesar’s actions. Cassius, Cinna, and Casca want Brutus to join because he is very popular and wealthy. Many people look up to Brutus. It’s possible that if Brutus joins the club, his followers would support him and help over-run Caesar, they’re going to need as much support as they can get. “Three parts of him ours already, and the man entire

Persuasive Essay Tom Cochrane once said “ Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise, and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That’s really where failure comes.” In “ Julius Caesar”, Brutus plays a big role in the betrayal of caesar being part of a plan to kill Caesar. Moreover, Brutus put off that he was for the People of Rome, but the deeper the play goes the more suspicion of Brutus’s true objective comes into play. Brutus was naive in believing Cassius

Some imperial literary inscriptions described glory as a reasoning behind such actions. Glorification can be a strong motivating sentiment in the actions of men and women. This can especially be true for ancient Roman populations who lived in an environment in which gladiatorial combat and the hunting of wild-beasts brought upon such awe and admiration. For some members of the Roman elite, the arena became a “real test of valor,” (Barton 14) as political and social life became burdensome and dedicated

From Rome's perspective the outcome of the Second Punic war can only be described as bittersweet. On the one hand Rome became master of the Mediterranean, with secure lands encircling the entire sea and new resource rich territory in Hispania (Morey, 1901). On the other hand, much of the fertile areas of the Italian homeland were destroyed completely (Morey, 1901). From the perspective of Carthage the outcome of the Second Punic war was less uncertain.
