Julius Caesar Compared to Abraham Lincoln I have chosen to compare Abraham Lincoln to Julius Caesar. The reason I compared Abraham Lincoln and Caesar is because they are both popular and you can really see how much changed from when Caesar helped expand the roman empire to when Abraham became president. I also know more about Abraham Lincoln than the other options. Julius Caesar was a Roman Politician (July 12 or 13, 100 BC, Rome – March 15, 44 BC, Rome) who helped greatly with the rise of…

Brutus is a Betrayer because he killed Caesar despite being is friend. He also is seen as a betrayer because he looks into Caesar eyes as Caesar called him a betrayer. I feel he is a Patriot due to the fact he had to kill Caesar to save Rome but he can not kill Marc Anthony because then they would look like cold blooded killers. The main reason that I believe Caesar is a betrayer He killed his best friend. He killed him because he thought that he was making the right choice for Rome. He…

Sometimes you can have the best intentions and they can still lead to tragedy. Just because you think you have done something good, it may not always benefit everyone in the end. I believe this because when Antony offered the crown to Caesar, he thought he was helping Caesar, and giving him what he wanted, and it ultimately led to Caesar’s death. Also, when Brutus was planning the assassination of Caesar, he was doing it for the good of Rome, but that plan ended with Rome obtaining a dictator.…

Loyalty is defined as a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause. Loyalties can conflict with each other and one would have to choose, but could that justify killing a person? In Shakespeare Julius Caesar, Brutus, Caesar’s best friend joined Cassius and other conspirators to kill Caesar justifying it by their loyalty to their country, Rome. They believed that Caesar is getting too powerful and his power is going to his head and will damage the republic. At Caesar’s funeral, both Brutus and…

Brutus was the least honorable, how?? Brutus was the least honorable because he was doing what he thought was right. He thought he was doing it for Rome, why did he think he was doing right for rome? He thought he was doing right because the other men helping him, and plotting for Caesar's assassination, were telling him that Rome would better and the people would praise him, and which that did happen whilst him giving his speech that Antony came and gave his and they turned on him, and he…

During 41 B.C., Mark Antony came into Cleopatra VII's life. Mark Antony was Cleopatra's next choice as an ally (Bell). Dressed like a goddess, Cleopatra arrived on a boat in Antony's presence. She came to Antony because he wanted an explanation to who Cleopatra had been helping. To ease the tension, Cleopatra dressed very fancy and become irresistible (Bell). Antony came to Egypt with Cleopatra to be together with her. Together, the two had three kids, became powerful, and wealthy (Bell).…

Brutus and Mark Antony were both friends or allies of Caesar. They both spoke at his funeral and while both speech's were similar they had their differences. Brutus' speech on one hand, was driven by logic and reason. While Antony's speech was driven by emotions and to make the crowd feel something and sympathize with him. Brutus' intention was to persuade the audience that the killing of Caesar was a necessary thing while Antony was trying to cause riot among the people and show them how…

In the movie The Dark Night Harvey Dent once articulate that, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Unfortunately, Brutus had been an honorable man until he reached the point where he became the villain. Writing the play Julius Caesar was a man named William Shakespeare in 1599 AD. The main plot of the story is about a man named Brutus who joined a conspiracy against Caesar to stop him from being crowned, but Caesar’s friend Antony intervened. Antony…

Julius Caesar: Victim of Tragedy Julius Caesar, a former Roman dictator, helped build up the Roman empire from the ground, but his arrogance and greed helped him pay the ultimate price; although he let the power go to his head, his death was unjustified and cruel. He solved several pressing issues within the empire. He provided them with a new badly needed currency, he contributed to the modern day calendar we use today, and with his strategic plans, he won several wars and battles. He was an…

Two main figures that were important in history in spite the differences of time periods they lived in, had a lot in common. Malcolm X was an important figure to the people of Islam, a national leader to a movement that later lead to his demise. In correspondence, Julius Caesar came from royal and noble backgrounds. He arose to a be a great empire of Rome, but Julius Caesar was a greedy man that only wanted power for himself, which lead to his downfall. Malcolm X had a troubled life before he…
