Julius Nyerere

After comparing Brutus and Antony's techniques of persuading the crowd using ethos, pathos, and logos, it is obvious that Brutus is the more persuasive speaker. Both Brutus and Antony used ethos trying to persuade the crowd who the best persuasive speaker is at the funeral speech. One example from Brutus is, "Believe me for mine honor and have respect to mine honor that you may believe." He is trying to make them to respect him and believe him so that he will be proven to be the best persuasive…

Film director, Franklin J. Schaffner, in his historical movie, “Patton,” reinterprets the speech delivered by U.S. General George S. Patton using George C. Scott as the leading actor. Patton’s purpose is to deliver a speech that motivates the Third Army to die to fight for America. He adopts a forthright and sincere tone towards the Third Army, but a derisive tone towards the enemy, in order to dehumanize the enemy and motivate the Third Army to kill without mercy in the name of victory. Patton…

Scene 1 of Act 4 begins with Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus making a list of the men that are to be hunted down and killed as punishment for Caesar’s murder. The men they are writing down are not only people unrelated to the three men, but their kin as well. Next, Antony tells Lepidus to go fetch Caesar's will so the men can rework the will and change certain legacies. This is ironic because Antony just told the common people all these things that they would get from Caesar’s will and now it is…

Despite its dramatization in Macbeth, violent Roberts 5 and deceitful political power plays are very much real. The plot of Macbeth occurs because of Macbeth’s desire to gain political power through a deceitful murder of King Duncan. Macbeth plans to stab the King in his sleep, and then plant bloody daggers near the King’s guards, who Macbeth plans to get blackout drunk so that they cannot remember anything. Such a plan is deceitful because Macbeth does not care for the fate of the guards, whom…

The Pax Romana was a time when Rome was considered to be at peace and was not in constant wars with others. Started by Augustus, the Romans values and beliefs began to change as the era of the Pax Romana was upon them. Rome used to be a place that military exploits and honor were all that they cared about. They would set about conquering one place and then the next. Winning triumphs was the main goal of army generals and leaders and it was all about the glory. Even when Rome controlled nearly…

Meritocracy is where there is a ruling of the educated and skilled, the power held was equal to the ability of a person. Within the book Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic by Tom Holland there were some instances where it highlights such things being portrayed, as there were common men who would come into higher power through their skills and abilities. As there were some Romans who had a thirst for power and an unending ambition, that eventually leads to the fall of the Roman Empire.…

Julius Caesar lived long ago but was able to make his mark in history because of the writings of Plutarch and Shakespeare. Plutarch wrote about Caesar using knowledge passed down from past generations, strictly stating what he knew to be the facts. He did not write it as a story to entertain people, rather to inform them on the great Julius Caesar. Shakespeare, on the other hand, wrote his plays to entertain people. Shakespeare based his play off of Plutarch writing while adding his own touch to…

Just like in the real world, there are many different areas where manipulation occurs in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. These areas include manipulation in politics, manipulation within your family or friends, and manipulation within ourselves. One example of a person who manipulates in politics is Cassius, who manipulates Brutus into joining the conspirators and into killing Caesar. Julius Caesar is gaining a lot of support and may become dictator or ruler. Cassius feels like…

Sidekicks, Romans, other people who live in the same nation, give me your (real/honest/legitimate thought/something to think about/believe/trust/respect). I have come here to cover Caesar, not to clap/support/bolster/support him. The dangerous that men do is inspected after their passings, yet the huge/extreme is often secured with them. It should be the same with Caesar. The respectable Brutus let you (understand/make real/honest/accomplish) that Caesar was high-coming to. On the off chance…
