    Warning Juilus Caesar of the Ides of March

    It has come to my attention that you have had many signs given to you in the strangest of ways, hinting towards you not going to the capitol. The town’s soothsayer told you to beware of the Ides of March, which is the 15th of the month; the same time you’re to be “crowned” in front of the senate. I understand that the futures some of the soothsayers may predict are not always accurate, but Caesar you’ve always got to consider any possibilities, and keep his predictions in the back of your mind. Though you may not fully understand why he may have said that to you, you still can’t just brush off what he says.…

    Significance Of The Salem Witch Trials In Julius Caesar

    It is noted that Julius Caesar killed Pompey in order to gain power over him, overthrowing his position and therefore achieving total authority over Rome in his place. It is here, that Julius Caesar is proven to appear to be somewhat ambitious. This ambition would lead way to persuade many of his senators to doubt his sincerity and question his true intentions for Rome. Meanwhile, as the plebeians spoke highly of him and adored him so, few started to catch onto his uncertain and rather concerning…

    Julius Caesar Struggles

    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…

    brutus vs antony

    The characters in Julius Caesar neglect nearly universally the play’s various omens (dead men walking, sacrificed animals who lack hearts), nightmares (Calpurnia’s vision of Caesar’s statue running with blood), warnings (the Soothsayer’s advice to Caesar to avoid the Ides of March, Artemidorus’s letter about the conspiracy), and supernatural events (Brutus’s visitation by the Ghost). Caesar believes that the omens in Rome could apply just as easily to Rome in general as to him personally, and he quickly comes to believe that Calpurnia has misinterpreted her dream. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that these omens warn of events that take place without exception. The hand of fate, or of the gods, appears to strike with undeniable omnipotence; and yet, it seems peculiar to provide omens without allowing individuals time to alter their behavior or choose among fates. In any case, the characters fail to heed the warnings in almost every instance. Tragically, the characters often believe that their refusal to heed these signs proves their strength, courage, and indomitable nature; thus, Caesar believes that he is displaying the force of his will by ignoring the warnings and attending the Senate, though, ironically, it is precisely this action that precipitates his fated death.…

    Foreshadowing In Julius Caesar

    When celebrating the feast of Lupercal, Caesar is warned multiple times by a soothsayer, a person whom can view the future, to be cautious of the 15th of March. Caesar asks the soothsayer to repeat and explain her reasoning but ultimately does not take the warning. This foreshadowing event indicates Caesar will face an arduous challenge in March. Although Caesar discards the warning, in the end, it is destiny whom will impact him in a negative matter. Whilst the soothsayer disputes her prediction,“Beware the ides of March”. (I.ii.103), Caesar initially defies her warning, he will have to face the opposition in the near future. Furthermore, when the soothsayer enunciates her advisory, the readers are also informed about the upcoming tragedy,…

To prevent the possible collapse of an empire, rulers need to provide a way to keep their citizens from rebelling due to problems like hunger and high taxes. Julius cared greatly for the condition of the population, and in response created a global distribution where every part of his empire would receive the resources needed for sustainability and satisfaction.

    Julius Caesar Biography

    Those partners were named Crassus, and Pompey. Together their power doubled and they soon became the only political figures that mattered in Rome, in “60 B.C.E, they formed the first Triumvirate” (Knight). Even though their unification strengthened their power and proved themselves the rightful rulers of Rome, their alliance was not one that the three men enjoyed or preferred. The three men promptly went their separate ways, Caesar went to “Gaul, anxious to gain more military glory, began seeking war, and soon he found it” (Knight). He fought the Helvetii, from “present-day Swizterland”, the “Suebi from Germany”, the “Celts of Britain”; he “killed around a million people from 55 to 54 B.C.E.” (Knight). When the triumvirate bond was broken because Pompey died in Egypt and Crassus died in Asia, Caesar went to Egypt, where he met Cleopatra, they began a passionate affair, and Caesar “aided her in a war against her brother, Ptolemy XII”…

    Cassius Domino Effect

    Cassius’s is seen as the leader of the conspirators, the manipulative master behind the cruel plan. He, with many others, disdain Caesar for his arrogance, yet Cassius encompasses the same exact trait. His arrogance is shown in Act I, when he and Brutus are talking, and Cassius notices the unease in Brutus’ eyes when they believe Caesar is crowned. He says, “I was born as free as Caesar,” (1.2, 104). In this speech Cassius is trying to convey the idea that Brutus is as good as Caesar so that Brutus will be more inclined to join the conspiracy, but Cassius uses the first comparison of Caesar to explain that Caesar is no better than he. His cunning, manipulative nature bleeds through in his very first speech, his arrogance is clearly shown and his motives laid down. Cassius’ jealousy leads to his revulsion of Caesar. Only Caesar’s death being the answer to Cassius’ insecurities.…
