What Does Red Symbolize Caesar
Caesar Puppet.
When creating my Caesar puppet, I used items and colors that would most likely represent Caesar. The color purple is associated with royalty and Caesar wanted others to know this by wearing this color. I gave Caesar a purple cape that wraps around his red uniform. The words on his cape say “BETTER THAN U” because that represents Caesar character throughout the play. He was very hubris and the citizens of Rome loved him, putting him on a pedestal. The uniform is red because that is what Roman soldiers wore since Caesar was a military leader, it made sense to make his uniform red. I also put a crown on Caesar’s head. Caesar really wanted to be crowned and refused it 3 times when Mark Antony offered. Caesar actually wanted the

    Language is a dangerous weapon in the arsenal of someone who knows how to use it. While Cassius may be no Hitler, he is good at getting his way, and for now he wants Caesar dead and that makes him very dangerous indeed. This is real danger even today; people buy into rhetoric without considering where it comes from and what the consequences of it might be. This is a very disturbing thought, one that is more than likely to make a few readers share Caesar’s suspicion of Cassius and other quick…

    There is a large amount of differences between the play interpretation of Julius Caesar and what really happened. For instance, Brutus in the play was extremely different than real life Brutus. In the play, he was best friends with Caesar-well, until he killed him. However, in real life, Brutus hated Caesar. He was never supportive of Caesar, and truthfully never loved him.(Musaj and Prezi Inc.) In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, he uses Brutus’s strong love of Rome, his honor, and his willing to do anything for the good of Rome to show that Brutus is the tragic hero.…

    Julius Caesar takes plays in the ancient Greece, and the plot is based on the assassination of Caesar himself. Caesar returned to Rome from war. As the citizens honor him, an alliance was formed between the senators Brutus and Cassius. They shared a dread if Caesar would become corrupted from all the power and as a result, they plotted the death of him. They stabbed him to death and on his funeral the truth were set free. A man called Antony turned the people against the conspirators. This created a war in which they were forced to flee, or got murdered. Themes such as jealousy, power and leadership I’d say were the main point of it. It was an underlying fear of corruption,…

    Antony proves to be a master of persuasion. He uses ethos in his speech to obtain trust by showing he is a man who respects all. “Friends, Romans, lend me your ears”(III.ii.73). He doesn't show good will or respect for Caesar as it’s apparent he has a sarcastic tone when he mocks him with the repetition of “honorable men” when he is talking about the conspirators, an example of verbal irony. He also uses logos to point out obvious reasons why Caesar wasn't actually ambitious. He said, “when the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept” (III.ii.91). “Brought captives to Rome/ransom did the general coffers fill” (III.ii.89). He uses Pathos to spark emotion and sorrow among the plebeians and have them revolt. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar” (III.ii.106). He asks two rhetorical questions after listing reasons why Caesar wasn’t ambitious. “Was this ambition?” (III.ii.97) and even tries to make the commoners feel guilty for doubting Caesar “What cause withholds you to then mourn for him” (III.ii.103).…

    As Cicero states: “men may construe things after their fashion”, in the midst of subjective conflicting perspectives upon a certain personality, what would you draw from it? William Shakespeare lends this thought to the audiences of his time as well as ours through the play, Julius Caesar. Was Julius Caesar really the noblest man that ever lived, an ambitious tyrant, or both? Enhanced by the personal values of Cassius and Brutus, we can discover that studying the conflicting perspectives of Caesar and his power can bring us closer to the truth of his character whilst cultivating a more diverse and provocative insight to Shakespeare’s context and audience.…

    Julius Caesar in the play "The tragedy of Julius Caesar" was a in line to be the next ruler of Ancient Rome. Caesar becomes drunk in power as most people would when there are roughly a million people adoring you. The people of Ancient Rome truly liked Caesar, in fact in Act 1 Scene 1, a commoner says "..we are taking holiday for Caesar's arrival.." In this act the reader gets a sense on how much the people like Caesar. However it is also shown to the reader how much noblemen do not like or trust Caesar to be a good leader. Throughout Act 1 and 2 Cassius is trying to convince Brutus, one of Caesar's good friends, to help them murder Caesar so he could take the crown. Brutus and his followers believe they are doing a service to the people. That in some way sacrificing Caesar is for the better good. However this being said Caesar's death was not a sacrifice it was a butchery, there is no need to go out and kill someone.…

    From the opening scene of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare introduces conflict. Flavius and Murellus introduce Caesar as a contentious personality, as they rebuke the “mechanicals” who “make holidays to see Caesar” and “rejoice his triumph”. The Tribunes are unhappy with these celebrations as shown through the contrast in tone when Murellus adresses the “Mechanicals” with “You blocks, You stones, you worse than senseless things!” demonstrating the conflicting perspectives within the social classes. The Tribunes believe that Caesar's “growing feathers” need to be “Pluck's” as they are concerned that with his growing power they will be kept in “servile fearfulness”. Shakespeare conveys their anger at the fickleness of the “Mechanicals”, through the use of imperatives such as “answer me directly” and “be gone!'...” as they rebuke their “ingratitude” to Pompey. This shows the dominance of the Tribunes and…

    In all actuality Shakespeare portrayed Julius Ceasar very closely in his play to what it really was in real life with only a few slight differences and also in the play the stroy is shortened down quite a bit from what really happens after Ceasar is assassinated. For example in the play Caesar is portrayed as a noble hero that is struck down by his "allies" without much of a reason. In reality Caesar was power hungry, cruel, devious, ruthless, and extremely ambitious which may have been why he was one of histories greatest military generals. Although in both the play and real life the citizens loved Caesar because he was a strong and powerful leader. In all honesty, his assassins had very good reason to fear him being their emperor.…

    Is Julius Caesar a tyrant?

    • 1746 Words
    • 5 Pages

    William Shakespeare’s well-renowned play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, has led to centuries of controversial debate on the validity of tyrannicide based on his depiction of Julius Caesar. Some scholars have argued that Shakespeare intended to portray Caesar as a tyrant, while others believe he is acting as a just King. On one hand, it is difficult to assume that Shakespeare plainly viewed Caesar as a tyrant, especially since Shakespeare deliberately left Caesar’s actions and intentions ambiguous, making him into a less obvious tyrannical figure compared to Plutarch’s representation of Caesar. In addition, Shakespeare does not solidify Caesar as a tyrant in the same way he does with Macbeth and Richard III in their respective plays. On the other hand, it is difficult to reason that Caesar is a just King because he came into power by usurpation. “In antiquity the term [“tyrant”] referred to a ruler who came to power by usurpation, without constitutional warrant.”1 Based on insight from several sources and my own interpretation of Julius Caesar, I have concluded that Shakespeare left Caesar’s objectives unknown in order to focus on the moral dilemma faced by Brutus, but Shakespeare still intended to depict Caesar as a tyrant who deserved to be deposed because of his unconstitutional usurpation of power. In order to prove this I will evaluate the political turmoil during the Elizabethan era in an attempt to understand Shakespeare’s perspective on the concept of tyranny and tyrannicide, which is influential to his work, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. In doing so, I will compare the ruling styles of Queen Elizabeth I, who was considered a tyrant queen during her time, and the ruling styles of Julius Caesar in order to characterize Caesar as a tyrannical leader. Furthermore, I will briefly compare Shakespeare’s Caesar to Plutarch’s Caesar…
