Examples Of Finding The Culprit In Julius Caesar
Throughout act 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, the story follows a sort of game. A game of finding the culprit. The culprit, in this case, is the man or group of people trying to kill Julius Caesar. Just like in our class, we played a game called Mafia. In which we try to find 2 culprits who "killed" our classmates. It's up to 2 detectives to try and find the culprit. This of happens throughout act 2 of Julius Caesar.
A great example of this is in Act 2 scene 3 titled "A street Near the Capitol". The scene starts with Artemidorus, who overheard Cassius and his group talking about plans to kill Caesar. In this case, Artemidorus is the detective. Since he knows who the "Hitmen" are. He's the only outsider to know about this, so he makes it his duty

    To assassinate means, “To kill suddenly or secretively, especially a politically prominent person; murder premeditatedly and treacherously”(dictionary reference 1).. Julius Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC, and was assassinated by many Roman senators near the theatre of Pompey on the Ides of March, on March 15, 44 BC. Achity explains his assassination by stating that “In the Senate chamber, Antonius is drawn to one side. Then the conspirators crowd about Caesar as if to second a petition for the repealing of an order banishing Publius Cimber. When he refuses the petition, the conspirators attack him, and he falls dead of twenty-three knife wounds” (Atchity 7). The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a victorious soldier, and he was a prosperous leader; however, others believe that he was a tyrant.…

    Caesar is a powerful and ambitious leader which the conspirators are very aware of. This makes him dangerous because he is loved by the people and they will follow him. When Brutus and Cassius are conversing, you can see this as Brutus says “what means this shouting? I do fear, the people choose Caesar for their king” (1.2. 168-169). This fear comes from believing that Caesar wants the power for his own benefit and not Rome’s. Many of the senators believed Caesar to be an overly ambitious man. If the Romans choose Caesar as their king, the senators will no longer have power. Caesar wanting to strive for greatness and be in control is why he is brutally stabbed. After the death of Caesar, Antony, Caesar’s most loyal friend, wants to avenge him. After gaining army power to take down the conspirators, his character begins to change becoming dark and deceitful. This is where the ambitiousness of the leaders causes corruption and problems. The ambition also brings competition to the table. The competition is what brings the battles and therefore brings death. After many deaths in both of these books, ambition is shown to be the driving force behind it…

    Even in his absence or death, the manner in which characters address Caesar, describe him, and act in his presence, reveals the authority and influence he has over people's lives. From the first scene, Caesar is presented as victorious, having vanquished his rival, Pompey, and as an extremely popular figure among the people, with the commoners even defying authorities to celebrate his victory. As the play continues into scene ii, Caesar appears before the crowds as a modern-day pop-star, surrounded by a trail of subservient entourage. Casca and Antony display complete submission to Caesar, with the latter declaring that 'when Caesar says Do this! It is done' . In Caesar's absence, fellow patricians, Brutus and Cassius, describe him as 'mighty Caesar', a man who 'has now become a God', and strides in the world 'as a Colossus' . It is therefore evident that his close subordinates are jealously affected by his power, an effect which will later germinate into conspiracy. Even after his assassination, Caesar's ghost continues the task of perpetuating the fear of his everlasting power on those he influenced. Caesar holds enough power over his subjects that he is capable of influencing them continually, in his life and…

    Julius Caesar’s death included twenty-three brutal senators, an apparent close friend that turned out to be an enemy, a community that loved their leader, and a whole lot of power. Julius Caesar was the most powerful figure in the history of the Roman Republic, and at the time was gaining unlimited power. Caesar gained so much power, that he was being considered as the “King of Rome”. Power became the key to life in Rome, and the Senate was frightened by Caesar’s tremendous amounts of power. Due to this fear, they began to plot a plan to bring down Caesar.…

    The four conspirators who were in charge of the assassination of Julius Caesar had many reasons for their attack and desire to kill the emperor of the Roman Republic. The four men that came up with the plan to assassinate Julius Caesar were not enemies of him, and had different beliefs on why they should kill him. The first two conspirators, Gaius Trebonius and Junius Brutus Albinus, both having a friendly relationship with Julius Caesar, had both served and fought with Caesar, but both men believed they had not been given the credit the deserved for the work they had done for him (Wasson). The other two conspirators, Gaius Cassius Linginus and Marcus Junius Brutus did not have the same relationship with Caesar as the first two did. Both of these men had fought and served for Pompey (Wasson). According to Michael Parenti, an American political scientist and historian, there were several reasons behind the desire to assassinate Julius Caesar.…

    Exploring Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death”, Prospero can be identified as an uncaring ruler. To the incisive reader, there is an implicit meaning within the text which creates strong suspicion that this man is deranged, for we are told that “Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious” (687 Poe) even though most of the people in his kingdom had been abolished by the Red Death. The same man, motivated by a morbid fear of death, selfishly decides to carry out the immorality of secluding himself from most of his subjects by evacuating with a thousand friends to avoid a similar fate. While in that state of quarantine, he preoccupies his carefully selected guests at a masked ball in the seven rooms of his imperial suite.…

    Julius Caesar makes extravagant expressions of being firm and harsh unlike the old sympathetic, flexible Caesar that we know from Act 1 and 2. I think that these expressions will for sure change the way that the audiences used to think about him, people used to love Caesar for his kindness acts-sympathetic, but now he has turned into a nastier person, whom he indicates that he's strong like the star and immovable in his decision of banishing Cimber. I think that Brutus revealed a lot of dishonesty about his real motives for killing Caesar throughout Act 3. For example, when he was giving a speech to the people of Rome, Brutus said "But, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his valor,…

    A lot of things can suggest that ‘Othello’ is a racist play but other themes can actually dominate this opinion. At the time where the play was written (1604), the romantic union between black and white usually gets destroyed and hated upon because most people thought this type of relationship was wrong. Moreover, the queen of England at the time was extremely racist so there must have been a strong hatred towards dark skinned people at the time.…
