Julius Monologue
“Long time no see, Julius” I Stood there looking at the tanned, herculean looking man in front of me. He had a set of white colored wings spread out behind him and the halo of light coming around his body, from the star in the background, made him look very majestic. He smiled at me, “Yes it has, Xavier.” I stood across from him, or floated I should say, in the vast expanse of space.

I had pale white skin and an almost matching pair of wings, except mine were pitch black and blended in with the space around us. I was staring at the only being in the entire universe who could give me a headache. I won’t really go into detail about myself or him, because we can change our form and race to whatever we choose. I will say this though we can’t change

I was shocked and found myself shuddering in fear when I looked at it. It was just a violet blob in the shape of a woman. Julius was just as shocked as I was, but he wasn’t trembling. His pride would not let him fear anything, not even a multi-universal power.

Julius and I could barely be considered universal powers; the reason being that the two of us were almost equal in strength. In truth though; Julius was stronger than me, but the figure in front of us was even stronger than Julius. It was more powerful than any universal power I had ever come in contact with before, was she a multi-universal power? Julius backed away from it and spoke, “Who are you!? Why do you interrupt our fight?”

The figure looked in his direction before speaking, “It is because I grow tired of it. I grow tired of your fight destroying innocent lives in the trillions or more. If it would have been a few times I wouldn’t have even batted an eye, but your fights have killed trillions of lives almost a trillion times! I honestly should have stepped in before now, but I was hoping that I wouldn’t have

    As a tragic hero Brutus possesses a flaw of naivety. Brutus is too trusting in others, such as the conspirators. The conspirators believed that Caesar was too ambitious and that they should kill him for the good of Rome, themselves and for their own personal benefit. Brutus trusted that they were conspiring to kill him for the sake of Rome. (Quote). He was also naïve by letting Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral. Brutus believed that Antony would praise Caesar at his funeral and follow the rules that he was given. Brutus trusted him and by letting him speak Antony turned all the Romans against him. Antony sparked a civil war by convincing the Romans that the conspirators that they did wrong. Since Antony turned all the Romans against him, he…

    A highly-regarded politician and conspirator in ancient Rome, Brutus, in his funerary speech to Julius Caesar, effectively claims that the conspiracy killing of Caesar is justified. First, he supports this claim by asserting that if Caesar was still alive, he would eventually force the people of Rome to act like his slaves, like a true dictator. Brutus uses a rhetorical question to appeal to logos when stating, “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? (Shakespeare). This rhetorical question makes the audience think about how their lives would be if Caesar would continue to powerfully reign. Brutus compares them to the slaves of Caesar that work under his authority until death,…

    Power is a theme that has dominated mankind since history was recorded. The assassination of Julius Caesar, ruler of the greatest empire the world has ever known, was a result of such a struggle for power. The foundations of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' are power relationships which dominate the liaisons between characters of opposing sex, classes, and ambitions. Even in the historical context, Rome in 44 BC, the height of the Roman Republic, predisposes the play to a complex tangle of power conflicts. As the power of prominent characters builds tension, ambitions develops, and thus manipulation arises. Struggles of authority and dominance are evident between the characters in 'Julius Caesar', through Shakespeare's…

    Cassius used two different monologues to convince Brutus to help him assassinate Caesar. In the first monologue, Cassius used ethos to change his reputation and make Caesar seem weak and in the second monologue, Cassius used pathos and logos to convince Brutus of Caesar’s ambition and convince Brutus that it was his duty to stop it; both monologues convinced Brutus of different things but together they persuaded Brutus to join Cassius. The first monologue was used to show Brutus that Cassius was the better man and the second monologue was used to show just how much Caesar needed to be stopped. In the end, Brutus was swayed and ended up assisting Cassius with his plot against Caesar.…

    In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Decius Brutus and Mark Antony, both Roman Senators, eulogize Julius Caesar, each using a different technique and approach. Brutus, in a somewhat arrogant, to the point, eulogy, attempts to sway the people. He justifies conspiring against Caesar by stating that Caesar's ambition would have hurt Rome. However, in Antony's eulogy, he focuses on Caesar's positive traits, and cunningly disproves Brutus' justification for killing Caesar. The fickle Romans waver between leaders, responding emotionally, rather than intellectually, to the orators.<br><br>Brutus seeks to explain why he conspired against Caesar. He begins his speech with "Romans, countrymen ...", appealing to their consciousness as citizens of Rome, who,…

    A sign of the future of good or evil is considered to be an omen. Plenty of omens are displayed throughout the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, written by Shakespeare. If these omens are ignored negativity is often the only outcome for the character as demonstrated in the play. Some of these omens include Caesar ignoring Calpurnia’s unpleasant dream and his servant’s simple warning. Cassius disagrees with Casca’s statement of the god’s anger toward Caesar’s death and he allows Antony to live. Brutus disapproves of Cassius’s consent to prevent Antony from speaking at Caesars funeral and Brutus agrees to the ghost’s demands. Caesar, Cassius, and Brutus ignore important omens that are presented to them, which eventually led to their demise.…
