Julius Caesar Conflicting Perspectives Analysis

All texts are deliberately constructed to convey an agenda and a set of values. This means that every composer has a purpose, which is based on the issues arising from their context and audience. To that end, the composer uses conflicting perspectives as a vehicle for successfully conveying their purpose to the audience. So, through the representation of events, personalities and situations (which utilises form, language and structural devices), the responder is positioned to accept the perspective that the composer has represented as valid or credible. As a consequence, the composer is able to successfully impart their values to the audience. Examples of conflicting perspectives in society and the media come in the form of William Shakespeare’s
It portrays the 44 BC conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination and the defeat of the conspirators. Although the title of the play is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the central character in its action; he appears in only three scenes, and is killed at the beginning of the third act. The protagonist of the play is Marcus Brutus, and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism, and friendship.
Tina Watson, a 26-year-old American died while scuba diving on her honeymoon in Queensland on the 22nd October 2003. She had been married to Gabe Watson for 11 days. He was subsequently imprisoned for her manslaughter. There's more opinion in Australia than America that a miscarriage of justice was done to Gabe Watson in what the tabloids have called the "Honeymoon Murder." A feature on the death of Tina Watson was broadcast in a 90-minute account that aired on Dateline NBC on 19 May 2008. An examination of Tina Watson's death and Gabe Watson's subsequent trial and appeal was published by The Age on 17 July
An inquiry was held in Australia and Gabe Watson gave evidence to the inquest through his lawyers and to the Queensland police. Gabe Watson declined to return to Australia and did not testify during the inquest. During the inquest, prosecutors submitted evidence that Watson's story contradicted the record of his actions stored by his dive computer. They suggested the possibility that he turned off Tina's air regulator and held her until she was unconscious, then turned the air back on and let her sink before surfacing himself. As evidence, they described painstaking multiple re-enactments of various scenarios conducted by police divers. Tina's father claimed Watson had asked his daughter to increase her life insurance and make him the sole beneficiary shortly before their wedding. The insurance company confirmed Watson had twice emailed questions about its dive insurance policies before the honeymoon and had asked about her insurance shortly after Tina's death. Watson also claimed hundreds of thousands of dollars from a travel insurance policy. However, diving expert Dr Carl Edmonds believes a 'grave injustice' may have been done in the manslaughter conviction of Tina Watson's husband. Dr Edmonds justifies this statement saying that Tina Watson, of slim build, was "grossly over weighted"
