Effects Of Power In Julius Caesar

What happens when we die? Our legacies follow us into the ether whether we like it or not. In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, through Caesar’s vanity we see his downfall. He lets his power go to his head. When power reaches this point it can have long lasting effects beyond a person's lifetime. In addition to manipulating the people of Rome during his lifetime, he also manipulates his friend and enemies in ethereal from. Therefor, the true purpose of power is as a corrupting device whose effects last after death.
