Mark Antony

All responsibility must come with external stimuli in the form of fault. An example would be Julius Caesar. Caesar was at fault for besieging the city of Rome and ruling over the Roman Republic as a dictator. His decision led to the death of hundreds but also caused the Roman Empire which emerged and spurred a period of learning and technology like nothing before. This question may be complicated but does wrongdoing in the world lead to our greatest Triumphs? This question is explained by…

As the first to utilize "history," Herodotus merits Cicero's title, "father of history." no doubt, this child of affluent privileged folks did not have the basic demeanor toward his sources that would be the sign of the later antiquarian. Intriguing tales of the wars between the Greeks and the Persians discovered their way into his pages whether he could confirm them or not, but rather he does at times support and tag certain things as gossip. According to his citations, he more likely than not…

by delivering Brutus letters that he wrote, but made them appear to be from random citizens of Rome. Another example of this can be seen in act_, scene _, when Brutus convinces the conspiracy that they shouldn’t kill Antony, one of Caesar’s most loyal friends, along with Caesar. Antony later goes on to turn Rome against the conspiracy, and eventually leads an army of his own to defeat Brutus and his army in scene 5. One of the most defining attributes of a tragic hero is their downfall. In…

The authors of “A History of Rome” write about Nero in a rather concise and conservative view. The authors paint a different picture of Nero than Tacitus and Suetonius. Tacitus begins the story of Nero’s reign with the murder of Junius Silanus by his mother Agrippina the younger, projecting how Nero’s reign mirrors its malicious beginnings. Suetonius gives a detailed account of Nero’s ancestors, writing anecdotes of their horrid deeds, and describing them as irresolute, arrogant, cruel,…

famous, rhetoric. Which is mainly seen in the words: ambitious and honorable. "But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man."( Book 3, Act 2, line 95-96) The word honorable is meant to mock Brutus. By using it in a sarcastic way, Mark Anthony questions whether Brutus is truly honorable."The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious."(Book 3, Act 2,line 86-87) With the word ambitious, Anthony shows the true nature of Caesar. As with the last word, it is used…

Recent reports about antihero film "Suicide Squad" claimed that one of the super villains-turned-heroes might sooner leave the series. International Design Times reported that Deadshot, portrayed by Will Smith, will bid goodbye to the forthcoming film. Aside from being known as the leader of the antagonist group, Batman's primary adversary is also admired for having a good "heart" among others. Despite the malevolent character, Deadshot has one unique trait: his great love for his family.…

this through his loyalty to Rome, respect for the people around him, and by staying true to himself and the people around him. To start off, with the reasons why Brutus is noble, is his loyalty to Rome. A example of this is that he would only join Antony and the other conspirators only if the people of Rome had a problem with Caesar taking power. Although he would only plot against his friend, Caesar, for the good of Rome. This shows great nobility from Brutus because Brutus has a strong…

quote, shakespeare is elaborating that Brutus is a man of honor, who chooses to go honorably. Brutus is not a character that just stands there and lets injustice go by when he is confronted with it, no he sees and faces it; that’s one reason why Antony calls Brutus “the noblest roman of them all: All the conspirators, save only he, did that they did in envy of great caesar; He, only in a general honest thought and common good to all, made one of them.” (Anthony 5.5.68-72) Brutus stands up for…

naive thinking clashes with Cassius’ distrust of others. When Antony comes to the conspirators after the murder of Caesar, Brutus treats him with trust and kindness, because he believes that Antony is honest and trustworthy. In contradiction to Brutus’ opinion, Cassius considers Antony to be cunning and treacherous. Cassius wants to have him killed as well, but Brutus, with characteristic kindness and generosity, overrides him. When Antony asks permission to deliver a speech in Caesar's funeral,…

Friends, Romans, today we speak to beg the question of why the noble Brutus has no monument to his name yet Caesar and Marc Anthony do. Noble men indeed but why is Brutus, the true character of Rome who embodied the honor of Rome and did everything he thought he could do to better Rome. Brutus deserves to have a show of his honor since he was part of the heart and spirit of Roman ideals, he had the cunning to survive in the senate, the strength to best any man in battle, and he put his honor and…
