Within Julius Caesar, the characters are on the brink of war after the death of their beloved emperor, Julius Caesar. Cassius and Brutus are fighting to create a new and better Rome. Whilst newfound enemies, Octavius and Antony are fighting to restore Rome as it was under the rule of Caesar. Considering Brutus and …show more content…
The men begin to plan their battle strategies, and this is where the audience is allowed a glimpse into the minds of the combatants. Brutus and Cassius continuously fight and are not organised in the least sense. Throughout the entirety of the play, the two could only agree on one thing. That Caesar meant the end of Rome and had to be destroyed. Afterwards, with no enemy to fight, the two turned on one another. Brutus considering Cassius “to have an itching palm” (act 4.11-14) and Cassius considering Brutus to be a bully. This is a stark contrast to Antony and Octavius, who strategically plan with one another. Antony being the person who inquired after Octavius , and Octavius proving to be a worthy adversary to Antony in uniting the plebeians and planning the future of Rome.

This system is ludicrous as equal work, education, work output, job titles, and work expectation should warrant equal pay. Many declare that the idea that women earn less due to their gender is ludicrous, yet this was disproven as in a 2012 study “ [A] science faculty from research-intensive universities assessed fake résumés from male and female candidates for a laboratory manager position. Though the fictional students’ qualifications were identical, the faculty members routinely ranked the men as more qualified for the job.” (Paquette, Danielle.). Many different factors weigh
