Little Caesars

virtue. Within Julius Caesar especially, the virtue of honor and allegiance to virtue is called into question. Had Brutus adapted his idea of honor, he would not have lost so much at the end of the play, but because he clung to his ideals, like Caesar, he too fell. To better understand the faults of Brutus’ honor code, one must understand the fall of Caesar. When Caesar looks about Rome as he returns from defeating Pompey, he sees the people “make holiday to see/ Caesar in his triumph” alone,…

Inside the Mind of Brutus A particular character, Brutus, from a Shakespearean play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, was quite intriguing. Brutus was a friend of Julius Caesar, but was quickly pulled into the conspiracy plot to kill Julius Caesar. Throughout the play, Brutus sticks to his moral ethics closely. Moreover, Brutus says, “For let the gods so speed me, as I love the name of honor more than I fear death” (1.2.88-89). In this quote, Brutus is saying that honor is the most important thing…

In the beginning of the play, Julius Caesar, we see that lots of things are happening. We see betrayal and murder. We see storms and earthquakes, signs that in most eyes represent bad things in Rome’s future, but in Cassius’ eyes are good things. There are lots of things to find out in Act 1, like the meaning of a Roman tribune, what their role in society was, and why Marullus and Flavius were worried about Caesar. First of all, a Roman tribune is defined as a “Roman official whose task…

The Death of Caesar was a turning point in Roman history. It started a civil war that resulted in the eventual creation of the Roman Empire, and the end of the Roman Republic. Three accounts that portray the murder of Caesar: Suetonius’ Life of Caesar, Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, and Nicolaus’ Life of Augustus all tell separate stories, even though they were all derived from the same event. All of the stories are technically the same story; Caesar was warned by omen, dreams, and soothsayers…

Julius Caesar was killed by his friend and he was the ruler over Rome someone can clearly tell that it ties together because Hamlet's father was killed by his brother and he was the king of Denmark. When the quote said as Julius fell than Rome started to fall. Someone reading that part of the quote can say that since the death of Hamlet's father Denmark has also fallen along with Hamlet's life. Sixth, the last character in Hamlet that has an allusion behind it is Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar…

Julius Caesar. Arguably the biggest name in Roman History. Regarded by many as the greatest leader in the history of the Roman Empire. Born Gaius Octavius Caesar, and known as Octavian, he grew up from the age of 4 with no father. Raised by his uncle, Julius Caesar, who he later inherited the name from. Caesar grew to be dictator of Rome and left on his conquests to conquer other peoples. Until he was ordered back. Knowing he'd be killed he made possibly the boldest decision of his life and…

A lot of important events occur in Act 4 of Julius Caesar. One thing that I believe will be important in the future is actually in Scene 1, Octavius and Antony decide that Lepidus’ brother, Publius, should be killed. Some most important things are that Cassius and Brutus are in an argument, Brutus’ wife, Portia, died, and the ghost of Caesar pays Brutus a visit. I definitely think that all of these things are crucial to the future of the play and the fate of Octavius, Antony, Brutus, and Cassius…

Tragedy about Caesar? He died right away. So what about him. He really wasn’t even a big part of the play. It could have been titled The Menacing of Cassius, or The Indecisive Brutus, or The Two-Faced Mark Antony but it’s titled The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. But again he died right away. But on the other hand without his death, Mark Antony wouldn’t have made his vows and the civil war wouldn’t have taken place. So it’s a toss up. First, the play is titled The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, but…

brother Ptolemy XIII, seeking to gain Caesar 's respect and favor, sent men to assassinate and behead Pompey. When Caesar was presented with the head of Ptolemy, however, Caesar was instead enraged by this action and took control of Egypt. It was during this time that Cleopatra displayed her seductive charm by placing herself inside of a carpet to be given to Caesar. Cleopatra 's plan to gain Caesar 's favor worked without a hitch and she was given the backing of Caesar in her case for the…

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is one of William Shakespeare 's many famous tragedies.

Shakespeare wrote The Tragedy of Julius Caesar to be performed at The Globe on stage, but it is still being studied and enjoyed by people today. As the name suggests, the play is focused on the killing of Caesar and his tragedy, but his death is not the only tragedy in…
