Examples Of A Powerful Person In Julius Caesar

What makes a powerful person so powerful? The world sees powerful people as many different things. They perceive a powerful person as someone who has many followers, someone who is wealthy, or someone who is well known. The person could possibly be a combination of all these traits, or they could just be a peevish clay-brained canker blossom! In the play Julius Caesar, you will find many characters such as Caesar, Sulla, and Antony, that try to be the most dominant and formidable. Caesar captivates people when he’s ruler and controls people even after he dies. He had a way with how he handled his work and was always a humble ruler. He seized action even when tragedy struck and cared for the people of Rome very much. Some examples of his good-doings
include him having many war victories, refusing the crown three times, and trying to build up Rome when his wife died. Sulla was a jaded onion-eyed younker because he took his power for granted. He did not treat his servants fairly and was a very greedy and egocentric person. For example, he killed many of his men just because he felt like it and made his servants do inhumane things such as ordering Pompey to strangle Flavius or be strangled himself. People listened to him only because they were more than likely scared of him. Finally, Marc Antony was a respectable man that had a very big heart. He wanted to avenge Caesar and get people to believe the conspirators did wrong by killing Caesar. To persuade them, he acted in a way that fooled the people with turning Brutus’s words against him. When he became ruler, he started to do things that were not just. He read to the people of Rome Caesar’s will and then used the money he left for the people in ways that Caesar did not intend them for. He also did the same as Sulla and came up with a kill list with the other members of the second triumvirate. Nevertheless, he was an outstanding leader of men and a skilled general, though, in the end, not such a successful admiral. In conclusion, I believe that Caesar was the most powerful character. He had an influence on people when he was ruler and just as much of an influence on them after he died. He brought many good things to Rome and was the rock that the people needed. After he was murdered, war broke out, chaos was spreading like wildfire, and there were many suicides that happened because people did not have something there keeping them steady anymore. All of these things can prove that Caesar was the most powerful leader.
