Examples Of Revenge In Julius Caesar
“Revenge! About! Sneak! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live!”
These are the words that the Roman People shouted in the Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar.
The roman citizens lacked even a drop of wisdom and did not use their own brains to think for themselves. This statement can be proved with these three examples:
The first example is that the people instantly believed Brutus’ reasoning for assassinating Caesar. They lacked loyalty and even common sense. Helplessly convinced, they exclaimed,“ Let him be Caesar!”
Secondly, moments after Brutus gave an oration, they radically changed their favor from Brutus’ side to that of Mark Antony’s. During Antony’s manipulative speech, they were swayed to a totally different point of view
The
last supporting reason was that they were hasty and foolish enough to run and kill an innocent man with the same name as the man they intended to punish, in response to what Antony claimed. When a number of Roman Citizens had found a man by the name of Cinna, they questioned him and accused him of the murder of Caesar. Even when he attempted to prove that he was a poet and a friend of Caesar, they disregarded it, saying,“ It is no matter. pluck but his name out if his heart, and turn him going.”
In conclusion, the men and women of Rome in the play Julius Caesar were painfully inane.
Not only were they simple minded, but their loyalty swayed as fickle as a the wind. Unfortunately, this flaw was the cause of an innocent man’s death. In this case, one could say, “ When in Rome, do not do what the Romans do.”
