    However, there were those who were afraid that he would use his army of loyal veterans to take power for himself. Pompey was a hero of Rome upon his return and lacked the political desire to seize the throne of a despot. Upon returning to Rome he disbanded his army, refusing to use it to make himself an absolute ruler. Cicero dreamt of forging a strong alliance of himself serving as the wise philosopher advisor and Pompey as the popular general and leader. He laid great praise upon Pompey: “Pompey made his preparations for the war at the end of winter, entered upon it at the commencement of spring, and finished it in the middle of the summer.”[5] During his time as consul, before Pompey’s return, he made Pompey’s political interests his own because he believed Pompey was the just ruler he had been looking…

    As a tragic hero Brutus possesses a flaw of naivety. Brutus is too trusting in others, such as the conspirators. The conspirators believed that Caesar was too ambitious and that they should kill him for the good of Rome, themselves and for their own personal benefit. Brutus trusted that they were conspiring to kill him for the sake of Rome. (Quote). He was also naïve by letting Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral. Brutus believed that Antony would praise Caesar at his funeral and follow the rules that he was given. Brutus trusted him and by letting him speak Antony turned all the Romans against him. Antony sparked a civil war by convincing the Romans that the conspirators that they did wrong. Since Antony turned all the Romans against him, he…

    Manipulation, in essence, is a timeless recurring theme not only in literature, but in our everyday life. William Shakespeare’s drama, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, is saturated with rhetorical strategies. Brutus, Cassius, and Antony use their words throughout different parts of the play to sway other people’s opinions. Cassius’s persuasion is so powerful it leads to the death of Julius Caesar. Brutus is left with the repercussions of the assassination and has to speak to the Romans. Brutus and Antony go back-to-back speaking to the Romans using rhetorical strategies to explain their diverse views on the event. These three characters’ use of ethos, pathos, and logos was so compelling it persuaded the other people’s views, caused Caesar’s death,…

    Without any power, a society tends to become irrational, indecisive and flavorless. This ideal is portrayed in all scenes including plebeians, whether through direct or indirect characterization. The premiering scene portrayed Marullus and Flavius along the streets, scolding commoners for being hypocrites. “You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!/O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,/Knew you not Pompey?” (1.1.27-29) was proclaimed by Marullus, in protest of Caesars’ celebrations. This reveals that the common people of Rome are easily swayed, as they cheered for Caesar defeating his predecessor, after recently cheering for Pompey himself. An exquisite example of the citizens’ complacency comes from the Third Plebeian. He states,“The noble Brutus is ascended: silence” (3.2.14) but yet, after a short speech from Antony regarding the conspirators, he claims, “There’s not a nobler man in Rome than Antony”( 3.2.96). Furthermore, when attending to Caesar,“We are bless’d that Rome is rid of him”(3.2.48) stated the citizens, only to later say, “They were villains, murderers” (3.2.135) merely for doing the very “ridding” they praised! Complicity and irrationality are portrayed by the violent outburst, “Revenge!—About!—Seek!—Burn!/Fire!—Kill!—Slay! Let not a traitor live” (3.2.183-184) from the citizens, once Antony’s speech is…

    Cassius admits that Caesar is treated like a god and recalls events of Caesar’s physical weakness. Caesar was a powerful man who planned to become the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire in order to solve the many economic, political and military problems the empire was against. While, there were people that feared such a powerful man because this dictator threatened his/her position. Cassius voices his reason for Caesar being unfit to rule, Cassius says, “Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, Dear Brutus is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings” (Shakespeare, I, i, 139-141). Saying that it is not his/her fate to blame, but that is his/her own fault that they have not done anything to make them great. Cassius blames his and Brutus’s lack of will to grant Caesar to power. Cassius and Brutus’s jealously of Caesar makes it unjustifiable to kill him. In her article, Alice Shalvi argues, “Shakespeare implicitly condemns the conspiracy, then, on two scores: firstly, because it inevitably involves moral corruption even in the best and noblest of men and, secondly, because murder is always no matter in what…
