Examples Of Charisma In Julius Caesar

Improved Essays
A person with charisma influences others to do be apart of situations that they may not have foreseen themselves to be apart of. With that in mind, could a person without charisma influence another? The answer is yes! Influencing a person has nothing to do with charisma, it’s the fact that you choose to guide a person to do the right thing as you're doing the right thing as well. Charisma is just a way to define someone and make it seem like they’re better than everyone else around them. Anyone can have charisma, but not everyone can be an effective leader.

    Flaws, of all shorts can help see the greatest people look weak and pathetic when noticed in the tale of Julius Caesar. Comparing mere mortals to one another is mankind's only way to show difference in one’s strength and artifice.

An arrogant leader would mostly be all-talk and would be disliked by his own subordinates. A skilled arrogant leader, however, would be more liked by his subordinates since his skills would make up for his attitude. It is the same with a confident, it mostly depends on an individual’s skill.…

    Arrogance has always been a cardinal fault of those in power, and Julius Caesar was one of many to fall due to that flaw. The assassination of Julius Caesar was justified despite the fact that he may have helped Rome. He was a tyrant, may have overthrown the senate, and was becoming an arrogant leader. Through the passage of time, we have been shown how fruitless tyranny is, and what becomes of people as well as their leaders that are a part of this system. Generally speaking, arrogance parallels with narcissism and Julius Caesar had both in spades.…

    The evil that men do lives after; the good often buried with their bones. I believe this statement is true for many reasons, and there are many examples of this shown in the book and in reality itself. What that statement is stating how when very good men or just people in general do something evil, meaning something that isn’t very pleasing to the audience/crowd. It’s often buried with their bones which means everything they did good in the world is overshadowed by the evil things they did. Its is a terrible outcome but its reality also, we never really pay attention to what that guy did for us or that female like sure we know it happened but that doesn't mean we will remember what they did that benefited us when they die, we will remember the terrible things they did instead, it is just how the world works.…
