Mark Antony

To be noble, to be a person with exceptional character and high morals, this describes the representation of Antony in the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar is the leader of Rome who is adored and favored by its citizens. Although he is loved, there are some who feel that his power is gaining too fast and he is increasing in popularity so much so that Caesar may turn Rome into a monarchy. These people begin to feel mistrustful in his power and decide to…

Greetings, I am a foreign diplomat from a far country, and I am on my first visit to the great city of Rome. From my first exposure to Roman society and specifically the all-powerful leader, Augustus, the currency presented a message by itself. Currency symbolizes survival and stability; therefore, by encrypting Augustus’ face on the symbol of strength, it directly associated Rome’s strength to Augustus. For example, to buy food or clothing to survive, merchants demanded a payment in gold.…

Yes, I personally believe that under the correct circumstances and if it is in the best interest of the state in which the leader is ruling, and if they are causing massive damage that would be unstoppable otherwise it is ok to rid of them. However if there is a better way to take their power from them that is the route that should be taken. There are examples throughout history where rulers have been killed in unnecessary circumstances, and some where it was probably for the better. In…

The least honorable character of ”Julius Caesar” is Brutus. He killed Julius Caesar. Brutus also killed other people besides Caesar. Caesar was stabbed thirty three times in the chest repeatedly. Also told everyone that he would be the king of Rome. Instead of Julius Caesar. The reason why Brutus is the least honorable character is because he killed most of his men that helped him out with killing Caesar. Also Brutus killed Cassius for money. Brutus’s decisions made rome at…

Brutus know he was heard. What actions and tricks of Antony’s particularly impress the mob? Antony uses several rhetorical devices when trying to persuade the people of Rome, such as anaphora, logos, pathos, and rhetorical questions. The crowd is impressed when Antony shows them that he has “a parchment with the seal of Caesar”(III.ii.130.). The mob becomes depressed when they hear Caesars will. Antony knew that by showing the will, the people the mob would see him as a hero for reading it as…

Wootton walked around Nevahland belligerently because Chandler was wearing intestines around his neck. This wasn't very taboo to the people around him, but Wootton thought this was worthy of chastisement. The blood dripping from Chandler’s mouth was opaque. At first, Chandler was disinclined to rip Sean’s stomach to get to his entrails. After his peers pressured him for quite a while, he gave in. When he had finished, the ground surrounding him looked as if a bunch of detritus had been scattered…

Brutus and Antony both had speeches that were making Caesar seem like he was a good man, even Brutus's speech after slaying Caesar.They both had speeches that were mostly about Caesar. Antony got a bit off topic and turn on Brutus after he said he wouldn’t. Antony's speech was longer and more boring than Brutus's. Brutus kept his short and made it to where the people would stay interested and know what he was trying to say. I believe that Brutus had a better speech because he had the people…

efficiency made her achieve more goals in a shorter amount of time. On page 3, it says, “Cleopatra at age 35 seemingly had achieved her strategic goals of restoring the old Ptolemy dynasty’s empire with herself and her children as rulers backed by Antony.” Cleopatra was very deserving of her power, and her title as…

outclassed Cobb so relentlessly that Cosell vowed to never announce another fight. It was an ethical decision based on justifiable criteria, but it made him look buffoonish to the common man: The still-healing Cobb quipped that hed let Holmes punch him in the face for another fifteen rounds if Howard promised to quit covering football, too. It never mattered if Cosell was lecturing on a subject he understood deeply (such as Alis constitutional rights as a…

During the meeting with the conspirators, many of the men want to murder Antony along with Caesar, however, Brutus argues against it. He explains, “This shall make / our purpose necessary and not envious” (JC. 2. 1. 190-191). Brutus aspires to assassinate Caesar, but not anyone else. Killing Antony would be nonessential to a character like Brutus who is not conspiring out of envy. Later in the play, when Cassius begins to reveal the…
