Julius Caesar

Anacronism(something out of place or time in a piece of lit., movie ect.)
Rome wasn’t an industrialized society
They did not have chimneys or battlements
English wore baronets (small crowns) Rome wares green olive leaves
They did not have night caps
They did not have doublets
They did not have tapers (candles)
They did not have hats
They did not have clocks
They did not have nightgowns
Puns
Truly, sir, all that I live by is the the awl.
But are not some whole that we must make sick.
A trade, Sir, that, I hope, I may use with a safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles.
Conspirators: Casca, Cinna, Metellus Cimber,Decius, Trebonius, Caius Ligarius, and Cassius
Important
Brutus said that he would rather not live in Rome when it is about to be bad. He would rather be a villager.
Superstition
Left hand was burning but wasn’t in pain
Lion walked passes her and didn’t attack
Owl appeared in the middle of the day
-Casca was telling this to Caesar
4. lion gave birth
5. graves opened
6. it is stormy
7. blood drizzled from the capital
8.horses neighed and dead men groaned
9. ghost shrieked
10. Romans bathed their hands in his blood smiling
- Calphurnia’s dream
Forshadow
Calphurnia’s dream was a portent she dreamed it three times
Irony[aside]
Audience knows that Trebonius is apart of the conspiracy and that shows that Caesar will die
Fates
When the expiration date is up 3 fates cut string to kill.
Role of a woman
Different minds between sexes. Portia doesn’t have a way to carry out ideas she might have and she isn’t expected to think as well as a man. I have a man’s mind but a woman’s might.
Soliloquey
Brutus talks about why he should kill Caesar because the power will go to his head and that he will forget about the people that helped him get to the point that he is at now and that he should kill him before any harm is done.
