Julius Caesar Quotes And Analysis
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”- William Shakespeare
This quote by William Shakespeare relates to what Julius Caesar says to Brutus in act 1, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”-Julius Caesar. Brutus and Antony in this play have many differences but also have some similarities including they are both loyal to Caesar but they are loyal on different levels. Therefore I invested deeper into the similarities and differences between Brutus and Antony.
Antony and Brutus, you would think are complete opposites from each other by reading act one. Antony is Caesars servant, Antony is very loyal to
Caesar. Antony does whatever Caesar tells him to do, “When Caesar says

The quote by Nicole Richie is correct because foes may appear as allies to gain an advantage, which is shown throughout the scenes of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.…

    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…

    During Caesars funeral two of his best men gave speeches, Antony and Brutus, they both used ethos, pathos and logos in different ways to win over the crowd. Brutus was in the senate so he was supposed to give great speeches with structure. Antony was a general so he was not as good at giving speeches but was good at pumping up his solders before battle. Which he used to his advantage when speaking to the mourning crowd.…

    In a sense, the spirit of Gaius Julius Caesar is greater than Caesar himself. As Cassius stated in Julius Caesar, "Alas, [Caesar] cried, 'Give me some drink, Titinius,' As a sick girl. . .it doth amaze me a man of such feeble temper should so get the start of the majestic world and bear the palm alone" (7), Caesar himself was a physically weak man. His power came from those who loved him.…

    In Shakespeare’s drama, bias and self-interest, more than anything else, are the key elements of the conflicting perspectives fabricated in the play. Shakepeare unites the epic legedary stories of nationalism in the history of Julius Caesar to the lyrical stage craft of the theatre. The drama provides a visual realism of the fortitude of men; it highlights the self-acting individual and their ability to supersede values of patriotism and nationalism when self-interest becomes apparent. A key example of this is the character Brutus. The characterisation of Brutus changes throughout the play. So the audience is left with the conflicting perspective of who Brutus is; they are only left with the representation of who he is, only to work out for themselves who the true Brutus is. At the beginning of the play, the audience is shown a character who is noble, good, patriotic, honourable but most of all, proud of Rome. He is also depicted to be loyal. “Brutus has rather be a villager than to repute himself a son of Rome.” This quote from Act 1 scence 2, shows the inital view of Brutus at the start of the play; it portrays him as noble and loyal to Rome. This becomes a motif throughout the play…
