When in a conflict with your friend, parents or anyone , standing up for what is you know is right and trusting your decisions are your right. In the book, Julius Caesar, Brutus chose to stand for what he believed was right for him and rome. Brutus had made a decision and stuck with it. Sometimes knowing when to stand up can make a difference on somebody life to. However, a rebuttal can be made that you should stay loyal because you might not know the whole truth

    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…

    How does a comparison of Machiavelli's the Prince and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar reflect the way their social, cultural and historical contexts can influence their choice of language forms and features and the ideas, value and attitudes? Does the end justify the means? I am sure you all would have your own personal opinions in response to this perplexing question. Two composers in the Renaissance era also pondered upon the issue. Consequentialist Machiavelli in the political treatise The Prince reflects the rise of pragmatism and amorality in politics whereas playwright William Shakespeare’s historical tragedy Julius Caesar applies these ideas and attempts to reflect the Elizabethan context.…

Resulting from a handful of conspirators assassinating him in the Senate, Caesar’s death sparks chaos which demands explanation. Thus, some individuals assert Brutus’ speech over Antony’s by claiming that Brutus’ effect and ability to direct his point sooner propel him higher than Antony.
