Julius Caesar Mark Antony
574 words
Persuasion is a powerful tool that can easily be
abused. In the tragedy of Julius Caesar by William
Shakespeare, Julius Caesar is a powerful dictator
in Rome in the year 44 B. C. A group of men
believe he is becoming too ambitious and they come
up with a plot to kill him. Among the conspirators
are two dear friends of Caesar, Brutus and Decius
Brutus. Mark Antony is a friend of Caesar who is
very upset and revengeful after his death. In this
play, three men use their persuasive powers to

Washington D C Brendon John Feel
760 words
There are some people out there who are genuinely
great people. Sometimes it is easier for me to
pick out the negative in others. It was impossible
for me to do that when I met Brendon John Collins.
He was beaming with beautiful qualities. After a
few days I came to adore just how silly, loving,
and ambitious he is. For a grown man Brendon is
the silliest I have ever met. My co-workers would
crack up when they found the all too familiar
post-it notes Brendon left laying around.

Poor Country Great Leaders
485 words
I am going to compare two great leaders. One from
this century, and one from the reign of Caesar. It
is interesting to see how through out history that
all the great dictators thought alike. Though they
might differ in details all of them basically
followed the same pattern. And I think that is the
case with Caesar and Fidel. One of the main
similarities between Caesar and Fidel is their
early life. Both leaders came from middle class
families. Each leader had to work his way up the
ladder. Caes...

Macbeth And Lady Macbeth Kill The King
444 words
In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare,
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are depicted very
differently and simply wanting kingship are among
the few similarities. It is also interesting how
the differences between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
are caused by other differences in their traits,
starting chain reactions of contrariety. Macbeth
and Lady Macbeth both posses greedy and ambitious
attributes. So far we have learned that Macbeth
and Lady Macbeth are very ambitious to gain
kingship. At the end of A...

Act 4 Scene 1 Part Of The Play
973 words
When we first hear about Macbeth from the
sergeants report, we are led to believe that he is
very much a person who does only what he believes
is right. Furthermore, when he first appears in
the play, his fellow nobleman, Banquo, accompanies
him. Given this, we would think that he does what
is right, and makes all his own decisions. However
this belief is proven wrong. Although Macbeth
starts off as a loyal subject of Duncan, he is
ambitious and this is a weakness, which allows him
to be manipul...

Lady Macbeth Imagines Kill King Duncan
1,656 words
The play is about a king who is murdered by one of
his most trusted men trying to gain power. During
the play Shakespeare heightens the mood by using
various accounts of imagery. The blood and night
imagery that Shakespeare uses adds to the evil,
darkness and deception surrounding the play. It is
established from the very beginning that Macbeth
is ambitious. A certain level of courage
accompanies his ambition as well. The people with
greatest impact on Macbeth are the witches, his
wife and Lady,...

Act Iii Sc Act Iv Sc

In the play, "Hamlet", Shakespeare needed to
device an evil character, a villain that is
ambitious, and has the ability to scheme to get
what he wants. The character would also have to
contain some good qualities, such as kindness and
contriteness. These good qualities make the
character seem more human and thus, more
believable. Claudius is this character.
Shakespeare uses Claudius in his revenge theme in
this play. Without the acts of Claudius, this
theme just would not be. The entire play rev...

Augustus Caesar Roman Empire

Rome was originally established as a small city

consolidated army, and many resources that
provided for a prosperous economy, Rome had just
the right ingredients to accomplish this task.
However, a large regional state was the limit to

of a larger master plan for human existence. In
his play Macbeth, William Shakespeare sets forth
the idea that individual s problems are caused by

In William Shakespeare s Macbeth, Macbeth starts

Any great accomplishment Pride PRIDE Any great
accomplishment can make someone feel proud about
their work. It makes one feel good; it raises a
person s spirits. No question, pride has its good
points. (The Toronto Star, Nov 1999) Then again,
there are also the bad points of pride one must
consider, before being proud. Pride can deceive a
person into being ambitious, and make them strive
for something that is not rightfully theirs. Both
