1.Why do Octavius and Mark Antony want to engage in a battle with Brutus and Cassius?…
However, Caesar’s will left Octavian in charge as his adopted son. Cassius and Brutus tried to rally a Republican army and Brutus even issued coins celebrating the assassination, known as the Ides of March. Octavian vowed revenge against the assassins, two years later Cassius and Brutus committed suicide after learning that Octavian’s forces had defeated theirs at the Battle of Philippa in Greece.…
Antony’s rule of rome soon became challenged, by Caesar’s nephew Octavius. Octavius was a more experienced in military altercations and with ruling from a legislative standpoint. He claimed the money of Caesar as the rightful heir, but Antony spent it “in the interest of the roman people” which did not include giving the roman people a cut of the money. This caused many of the people to rally against antony in favor of Octavius. Another challenger to Antony’s authority was Cicero. Cicero won the philippics against Antony, which is essentially a war of words. This led to the prevention of Antony joining forces with Octavius. Even with the present challenges, the system of government remained the same and a second Triumvirate was formed to take the place of the…
What comes to mind when you hear the words “The Battle of Gettysburg”? To me, I think of the event itself. The United States was two years into the Civil War, when the bloody battle in Pennsylvania broke out. General Lee, also known as the general of the Confederate army, plotted an attack at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The battle started on July 1st, 1863 and continued on for 3 straight days. In just those 3 days, it turned the Civil War around. A turning point is an action or event that alters the outcome of a situation. Why was the Battle of Gettysburg a turning point? The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point for three reasons; geographic advantage, the many losses and the change in morale.…
The two Romans had very different morals. Brutus was an honorable man and said that he had never met a man that he did not trust. He was forgiving, but gullible and naive. This turned out to have bad results as far as whether or not Antony should live. If Antony were killed he could not have started the war. His qualities unlike Cassius', which were vengefulness and manipulative, made Cassius the better man for the job because he would have had Antony put to death. He was deceitful and had no problem lying to people, even Brutus. He was also plotting and suspicious which made for a very god military strategist.…
The hubis, or the person or thing that cause Brutus’s downfall was Mark Antony and the speech he made at Caesar’s funeral. Caius Cassius knew or had a feeling to not let Antony speech, “You know not what you do, do not consent / That Antony speak in [Ceasar’s] funeral. / know you how much the people may be moved/ By that which he will utter? /.../ I know not what may fall. I like it not” (3.1.250 – 254, 262). Cassius stated that he does not have a good feeling about letting Mark Antony speak because he had a feeling that something bad will occur because of what Antony will say. What Cassuis said was true, because shortly after Antony’s speech Brutus and Cassius ran away and the Plebeians went into a rage due to Antony’s speech. This led to the downfall of Brutus. The downfall or the death of Brutus makes him a tragic hero because before he commits suicide, he sees justification/glory in his fall. Brutus says himself “my heart doth joy, that yet all my life/ I found no man, but he was true to me./ I shall have glory by this losing day/ More that Octavius and Mark Antony” (5.5.38 – 41). He sees glory in his death because he realizes that his life wasn’t bad, because he had true friends, and that he sees more glory in his suicide than Octavius Ceasar and Mark Antony will see glory in their victory. An…
For residents of Southern England, 1940 was a horrific year. “ Citizens of London lived through the Blitz ” as the British Royal Air force (RAF) did their best to defend their country (Wawro, par. 1). The “ Germans had defeated France, Poland, and Czechoslovakia leaving the United Kingdom as the only country in their way of winning the war in Western Europe ” (Wawro par. 1). The Battle of Britain began on “July 10, 1940” (Wawro par. 1). This Battle was “an air conflict or war between the British and German air forces” (Wawro, par. 1). The Battle of Britain affected Britain socially, economically, and politically. Socially Britain was affected by the horrific loss of life and the wholesale destruction of communities. Economically Britain was in economic ruin. Politically, British people depended on other countries to help out with war costs and damage.…
In this case it was Mark Antony. The series of events that led up to the final reveal of the play all showed that Brutus was not going to win . When the people of Rome started to rebel it showed Antony gaining power. Then when Antony’s army wins it shows that no matter how much you try the good always wins. And finally Brutus killing himself shows that everything works out the way they should. Antony didn’t end up killing the other conspirators because he believed that they didn’t do anything wrong and they were just under the influence of Brutus. He knew that deep down they were good people that loved Caesar, they just let their minds get the best of them. In the end Caesar's death was avenged and Rome’s peace was restored to what it was before. Although there are many lessons you can learn from this piece, these are a few main ones. Good will always outweigh…
battle ever fought in North America. Why did the Battle of Gettysburg happen? Two months foregoing the battle, General Lee had an impressive defeat against the Army of the Potomac at Chancellorsville, Virginia. He then started planning for a Northern invasion by first taking action on the Yankees. His army was at the time 80,000 soldiers!…
The city of Rome had functioned as a republic for centuries, being ruled by a Senate. The reign of Julius Caesar throughout the first century was filled with rioting, conquests, and instability. In 44 BCE, he was named dictator of Rome, a title that made others jealous, fear that Caesar was becoming too powerful, and think that the rights of the Senate would soon diminish. It was because of this, that a group of Roman senators led by Brutus and Cassius assassinated Caesar by stabbing him. However, all was not restored as they had hoped and a rival between Julius Caesar’s nephew Octavian (who was his heir) and his trusted friend Marc Antony broke out as they engaged in a power struggle. Their conflict would last for years until Octavian finally…
•Brutus argues in favor of sparing Marc Antony, claiming that killing Antony would make them appear as butchers. After Caesar is assassinated, Brutus allows Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral. Bad idea.…
