Julius Caesar Fate Essay
Julius Caesar
Poet, William Shakespeare, in his tragedy, Julius Caesar, Conveys many themes of which I am writing about is fate. Shakespeare’s purpose is to tell a story with underlying tones of fate, tragic heroes , and friendship and loyalty. He adopts a sense of helplessness for the heroes by having them foreshadow their own demise in order to show fate in life of the characters in the play. The Characters in the play have their fate told to them by having their demise told to them or forewarned by other characters in the story.

Cassius complains about rome being so loyal to Caesar and Cassius says “men are masters of their fates” but if this was true in the book he could've been the leader of rome and been assassinated.

In my opinion the people in the play dont have control over their fates and it is always foretold whats going to happen over and over again they just chose to not listen to it.You could also make the argument that people do have their fates controlled if they just listened to the omens and fortelling that people suggest to them but thye never do. Free will is very much debated in this story over and over. In short I think that fate cannot be controlled. Others may think differently but that is their opinion not mine this is my essay not
