Noblest roman

1. What are the qualities of a good leader? “Et tu, Brutè?-Then fall, Caesar” (Shakespeare III.ii.85). This is the last line said by Caesar, right before he dies. He says this when he sees Brutus, whom Caesar thought was one of his most noble friends, stab him. Through the first couple of scenes, Caesar is displayed as an ignorant and cocky character due to the fact that this character talks in the third person and that he believes himself to be mortal. However, this quote, which happens to be

Julius Caesar there are many people who claimed nobility. However there is only one noble man. There are many test that will show who is truly noble because, anyone in Rome could claim to be noble. Brutus was the only noble roman in Julius Caesar. Brutus was one of many Romans with noble bloodlines. Although Brutus was noble, he never used it to get ahead. There are many times when Brutus could have used the fact that he is truly noble but he didn’t. Many people argue that a noble

Brutus obtained brilliance and bravery throughout Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, although he made a woeful decision in his desperate actions taken against his dear friend, Julius Caesar. Despite Antony’s speech, which portrayed all of the conspirators in a negative light, Brutus did not display a dishonorable, obdurate nature as a character in the drama. Being a man with both corrupt and righteous character traits, Brutus was, by disposition, decent in his ways. With an honorable, intellectual

“Julius Caesar is a play about people who make mistakes-costly ones, for themselves and their country” (Julius Caesar, Introduction line 1). This quote is from the first line of the introduction to the play of “Julius Caesar” and I think that this line is the best way to start off this essay. If we took a look at each main character in this play, except for Antony, we can see how their mistakes usually would lead to their downfalls. For example, Caesar mistake of not listening to the warnings, the

authority of his heroism is questioned when the honorable Marcus Brutus speaks to the townspeople during Caesar’s funeral. Brutus proves to be the better leader for Rome rather than Caesar or Antony. Brutus is wiser and more honorable than the other Romans. He was the only one truly looking out for the good of Rome and not himself. Julius Caesar is thought of as the most powerful and glorious ruler to step foot in Rome. The only thing

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;" More likely than not, you've heard this familiar phrase. These rousing words were first penned by the famous playwright and poet William Shakespeare. Shakespeare, famous coiner of words and sticking phrases, used these powerful words are the begining of a stirring funeral address for the dead Caesar in the play "Julius Caesar." Caesar's death-actually, murder-and the speeches delivered subsequently, are perfect oratories to show the character and

that Mark Antony is truly a whole, good, and honest man. Finally, at the very end, Antony makes one last scholarly remark, truly convincing the audience that he is deserving of respect, simply because of his own policy of loyalty. “This was the noblest Roman of them all” (JC 5.5.74). In this line, Antony is referring to Brutus, after he had killed himself alongside the assistance of Strato, who held his sword as he ran into it aggressively, because Brutus would rather have died than remained with the

were losing but they were not. When Brutus and his crew came in to tell Cassius that they are winning, but they see him dead. Brutus could not live after his friend died so he kills himself too. When Antony sees Brutus dead he says, ¨This was the noblest Roman of them all. (V.V. Shakespeare 67)¨

There are a lot of symbols and omens throughout the play but one that is known is blood which ends up being Caesars death and for example in Calpurnia’s dream she sees Caesars statue running with blood with hundreds of spouts and “lusty romans” (74) and she tells him about the dream and saying that it’s a warning of death but better yet Decius convinces him to otherwise saying that he will help Rome strengthen but he ends up dying. Another symbol is bad weather and when bad weather happens

Cassius. Cassius strongly dislikes Caesar, whereas Brutus loves Caesar but is afraid of what will happen to Rome if he becomes king . Cassius tries to convince his brother that Caesar is power-hungry and vicious and that should he become king, the Romans will all be enslaved under his tyranny (1.2. 142-148). From that moment, it seems to be apparent that Caesar is the villain of the story. However, there seem to be moments that disprove that notion. In 1.2, shouts from a crowd are heard offstage,
