Julius Caesar Play
In play, Julius Caesar, it has strength that makes the play a famous play. In the play, we could understand characters emotion and behaviors clearly since it is in their own words instead of a narration. From the text from Cassius’s dialogue,” For my part, I have walked about the streets, submitting me unto the perilous night.” we could emphasizes how Cassius is showing off to Casca the braveness he has. Another point would be the speeches that are introduce in the play. Another example would be in Act 1, scene 2 where Antony comments, “When Caesar says, do this, it is performed. Sometimes not only the characters dialogue could be recognize as his or her personality and characteristics. In this text by Antony, we could feel the powerful leadership from Caesar. Speeches help a better understanding of each character thought towards different people. Such as the speech that Antony gave where it begins with “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears…..” In this speech Antony keep repeating “Brutus is an honorable man”, this shows sarcasms that Antony is speaking out. While reading this speech, you will find confusions where Antony is criticizing Brutus action but on the other hand he keeps stating that Brutus is an honorable man that opposites other facts. This kind of passage grabs the reader attention to think profoundly. The weakness would be the organization of the plot. I believe the play is moving in a speed what I believe is fast. Fast play makes it difficult to recognize clearly with each scenes and acts. For example from the meeting of conspirators to the death of Julius Caesar flows quite rapid. Between those two scenes, I feel a bit empty cause no way that these conspirators did not planned in a way that they could successfully without any obstacles kill Julius Caesar. The play might improve if the process of planning would be added between those two periods. We might absorb characters; personality and perspective towards this event during their

    Act 1 of Julius Caesar begins on the streets of ancient Rome during the high holiday of Lupercal. Citizens all over Rome are not only celebrating the holiday, but also celebrating Caesar’s return from Egypt. While celebrating with his fellow Romans, Caesar gets an oracular warning from a soothsayer who tells him to “Beware of the ides of March”. As Caesar is celebrating his return and impending crowning, Cassius is plotting to murder Caesar because he’s jealous and feels that Caesar is no better than him, so why should he get the crown while he has nothing. Cassius’s first step in the plot against Caesar is to try to sway Brutus away from Caesar and onto the conspirator side. He does this by playing on Brutus’s rectitude and saying that Caesar has no honor, and that when he becomes dictator he will ruin Rome. After meeting with Cassius, Brutus is still not entirely convinced about whether or not to join the conspiracy. He is conflicted (torn) by his loyalty to Caesar and the future of Rome with Caesar’s growing power. Knowing that he must do the right thing, Brutus acts prudently and informs Cassius that he will weigh his options. Cassius knows that Brutus has not been swayed to his side, so he plans to send Brutus forged letters from the people of Rome that state their love and respect for Brutus in hopes that this will show him that Caesar is not the only one loved and respected by the people.…

    The exposition of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare immediately presents the ideals that underpin the differing views of Caesar’s rising power through his two protagonists, Brutus and Cassius. Both characters posses different interpretations on Caesar’s reign on Rome, one being loyal to Rome and a love and respect for Caesar “I love him well” but the other being a spiteful and vitriolic towards a “feeble old tyrant.” This highlights the notion of Cassius’s selfish prejudice towards his own contentment, which is only shown behind closed doors. Brutus on the other hand is victim to Cassius’ vitriol and becomes the pawn as he is manipulated “poor Brutus, with himself at war,” Brutus is troubled emotionally, torn by his patriotism and his respect for Caesar, above all he has an undying love for Rome, “Brutus had rather be a villager than to repute himself a son of Rome.” It is this love for Rome that causes such internal turmoil for Brutus, through Shakespeare’s use of juxtaposition of characters, he is able to highlight to the audience, the lengths that man will go to in order to…

    Julius Ceasar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare that is believed to have been written in 1599. It portrays the conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his struggle between the demands of patriotism, honor, and friendship, and his assassination. It is one of several Roman plays that Shakespeare wrote that are based on true events from Roman history. After watching two films about Julius Ceasar, one made in 1953 and one made in 1970, I personally believe that the 1970 version best meets my own mental idea of the play.…
