    Shakespeare explores many aspects on whether characters are heros or villians in his play Julius Caesar. There especially is much controversy over whether one of his main characters, Brutus, is a villain or a hero. Brutus does many good things for Rome, but he also has bad aspects to his character which add to the plot. However in my opinion, for the reasons and examples I found, I believe Brutus is a villain instead of a hero. Even though I believe Brutus is a villain in the story, I don’t believe he is a bad person.…

    The first sentence of the paragraph is describing the nature of the surrounding countryside of a plain in central France, using fancy terminology and descriptive language such as “buttressed by purplish mountains on the east, the rolling hill country of central France is both beautiful and strategic.” The author seems to be trying to set up something bigger, and I feel like something of a greater nature is going to come up. Judging by the way that it is worded and the implication of the word “strategic”, it seems that something of which requires tactics on this beautiful flatland is about to be made. Judging by the subtitle, which reads: “Caesar conquered Gaul, but awaiting him was the treacherous Brutus.” , it sounds like these two people -…

    Beyond our most stubborn misperception often lies our fondest dream”, as once remarked by Robert Breault, an American operatic tenor. His ability to capture the meaning of Shakespeare’s tragedy Julius Caesar as a whole is largely seen through his wisdom. The motif of misperception is scattered greatly through the play and is seen through numerous instances revolving around the characters of Caesar, Brutus, and Cassius. The play greatly explores this idea of misperception which is not only applicable to the world of Shakespeare, but also to the world today. In the play Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare uses the motif of misperception to illustrate that misperception can lead to tragedy, to reveal the fallible nature of human perception and…

    In the play Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare, the character Brutus is portrayed to be a very honorable man. Honorability is best described as the act of respecting not only yourself, but everyone else around you. However, Brutus is often a very unhonorable man, as the actions in which he makes do not usually portray the man he is said to be. He does not always live up to be the most honorable Roman to ever live, as his unhonorable side is shown through the death of Julius Caesar. Brutus shows a different side of himself throughout the course of the play, all in which make it justifiable to label Brutus as an unhonorable man.…
