The tragedy by William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, is based on the former Roman
dictator, Julius Caesar. The tragedy is about an ambitious Roman general who is on his way to
the crown and absolute power; however, that was a big no-no in the eyes of the Roman republic,
so Julius Caesar was stabbed by his officials- 33 times. The people loved Julius Caesar, but there
were many concerned about the future of Rome. Julius Caesar’s captains, lieutenants, and
tribunes plotted to kill Julius Caesar. The tragedy starts off by introducing Flavius and Marullus,
two Roman military tribunes.

them from the oppression of the patricians, or nobles, and …show more content…
Cassius said Julius Caesar was
sick when they were in Spain, and Julius Caesar cried like a little girl. Cassius cannot imagine
how Julius Caesar would treat all of the people below Caesar, if he was king. Flavius, Marullus,
and Cassius weren’t the only ones who were unhappy with Julius Caesar. There was a whole
group of officials who didn’t like Julius Caesar, like Cinna, Casca, Cicero, and others. Brutus
knows Julius Caesar must die, so he cannot obtain the crown to be king of Rome.
Julius Caesar is shown as a man who had power, and a man that was adored by the
fellow commoners of Rome. The reader’s first impression of Julius Caesar is a man with
authority. This is shown when Marc Antony, one of Julius Caesar’s officials, says,” I shall
remember. When Caesar says ‘Do this,’ it is perform’d,” (Shakespeare, William, Julius Caesar).
Because of the love and respect Caesar receives, Julius Caesar is an arrogant person. Julius
Caesar is so arrogant, he thinks he’s a god. At the beginning of the tragedy we heard Julius
Caesar killed Pompey, one of the Roman leaders. This helps Julius Caesar strike fear into …show more content…
Firstly, Julius Caesar would probably dispose of
Cassius based on what he said about him, “Let me have men about me that are fat; sleek-headed,
and such as sleep o’ nights: Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such
men are dangerous,” (Shakespear, William, Julius Caesar). Julius Caesar feels Cassius is a threat
to him. Secondly, He would make Rome a dangerous place. Julius Caesar is a great warrior;
therefore, he has many enemies. Those enemies would try to attack Rome, so they capture and
kill Julius Caesar. That is very unhealthy for the whole of Italy. Thirdly, the senate would lose
power and Rome would be ruled by a dictator. As history has shown, many countries that are
ruled by dictatorships, are not as successful as their more loose like counterparts. Fourthly, Julius
Caesar might not have the necessary skills to run a country; for example, the president of the
United States needs more than just good public speaking skills, he needs brains. Julius Caesar
knows how to command an army, but being a country’s leader is much more than planning
