who is a noble man that does not deserve to be
killed. Revenge is a central theme within Julius
Caesar. This is demonstrated through Antony's
desire to avenge Caesars death, and also the
return of Julius ...

The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar
1,478 words
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar While reading one of
the greatest works written by Shakespeare Julius
Caesar, my sympathies first lay with Caesar. His
image was lit up with constancy and greatness
throughout the play. His decisions were "constant
as the Northern Star." Even Caesars enemies
respected him, for example Cassius compared him
with the Colossus saying: "Why, man, he doth
bestride the narrow world / Like a Colossus, and
we petty men / Walk under his huge legs and peep
about" [ 4, 1. 2. 136...

Decisions, Decisions The theme I picked for Julius
Caesar essay is the mistakes made by Brutus.
According to Mr. Holtz Brutus was stupid and many
mistakes. The first one was him even joining the
Conspirators. The second was letting Anthony live
and speak at the funeral. The final mistake was
his battle plan. Every one does make mistakes
sometimes, but mistakes Brutus made where plainly
stupid. I feel the first mistake was Brutus
joining the conspirators in the first place. His

Flattery for Personal Gain Flattery is used to
manipulate people in real life and in fiction. ?
Julius Caesar? has many examples of this kind of
behavior. Some examples of using flattery to
manipulate people in the story is when Decius
tells Caesar a different interpretation of
Calphurnia? s dream making Caesar seem to be a
hero in it. Another example is when the
conspirators bow down to Caesar at the capitol to
draw his attention away from Casca and the first
stab. The last example is when Mark...

Caesar Death Fellow Man
765 words
As shown in many previous examples, at the time of
his murder Caesar was very popular among the
common people he ruled. However, they are also
very open to suggestion, and can have their
opinion of the their leaders changed quite easily.
After Caesar is murdered, and Brutus tells the
people of his death, they lavish praise on Brutus,
forgetting their previous loyalties. Thus Marc
Antony must find a way to sway their opinions
back, to get Caesar back in their favour, without
directly offending an...

Julius Caesar Roman Empire

JULIUS CAESAR ESSAY: In literature, characters are
often unrealistic, and rarely do they portray
those special features that make them human.
William Shakespeare was one of the few able to
create characters with truly human features. His
talent for doing this is clearly illustrated in
one of his most well known plays, Julius Caesar.
This is the fascinating story based on true
history of the birth of the Roman Empire,
beginning with the brutal assassination of their
leader, Julius Caesar. Three o...

Mark Antony Brutus Made
1,166 words
From reading the play, Julius Caesar, by William
Shakespeare, I can affirm that Marcus Brutus made
several errors of judgement, all in different
situations, which ultimately lead to his death. I
can also state that Brutus, whom Mark Antony
described as the noblest Roman of them all, failed
to carry out his promise (which was essentially
freedom) to Rome. Brutus errors of judgement
played a large part in the failure of the
conspirators, and his own death. Many times his
ego and his self-image sto...

Flattery will get you nowhere. At the beginning of
the story this quote might appear to be false, but
as the story unfolds it only leads to the down
fall of all involved. Throughout Julius Caesar,
both friends and enemies use flattery and
manipulation to obtain their goals. The first main
use of flattery is used by Cassius on Brutus in
Act 1, Scene 2 and in Act 2, Scene 1. Cassius
