Back when the Roman Empire was still in one piece; a man named Julius Caesar, set out to rule it all. The senate of Rome saw Caesar as a threat to their power in the Roman government and, seeing that Caesar was about to become Emperor, they killed him. One question still stands “would Julius Caesar become a ruthless tyrant, or a great ruler of Rome?” , Caesar was a great man. Caesar had a heart for the people of Rome, Providing them with food, jobs, sanitation, and water, as is stated in “Killing Caesar” written by Jon Herman, “The hungry hordes of the city were now given bread.”…
Julius Caesar played an important role for Ancient Rome. Julius was a Roman statesmen who lead the Roman Republic to spread around and rise Ancient Rome. He did so many differences to the city of Rome when he became dictator, and most of the people loved his acts and his good leadership. Julius gave the people 5 different types of reforms, which the people were happy to have an considered him as a great leader. During Julius Caesar's lifetime, he had held just about every important title in the Roman Republic including consul tribune of the people, and including a high commander of the army.

First off, the reason the apes were able to branch off into their own civilization was due to the lack of care from the humans. Apes were being tested and being given intelligence by human. Scientists treated the apes for the most part horribly, which caused the apes to resent humans, to the point where when the apes escaped captivity, they fought back against the humans. What this means is that humans practically set up their own demise because they were too careless, and acted cruel to the apes not knowing about the dangers they might cause. Another critique from this film would be its projection of war. Throughout the film, apes and humans exchanged blows which is leading to the inevitable final battle for dominance of earth. War is shown as a destructive act of unnecessary conflict that is unavoidable due to the competitive nature of an intelligent race. Caesar said it himself he thought that “apes were better than humans,” but he then realized, “how much like them they really are”. War is one of the worst aspects of our current world, countries fighting each other to either get what they want out of another country, or just to make a statement. It’s a shame that no matter what war always finds a way to ruin the world, and divide the earth to never trust another country. In this film, depending on who loses the war, apes or humans, their fate is pretty much sealed and the other will be king species of…
In the book, Julius Caesar was an influential and respected man. The community loved him for his acts of bravery and intelligence. The reason for Caesar's defeat was his ignorance of signs that could have saved his life. An instance of his ignorance was when his wife had a dream about him getting killed by the conspirators, but he still decided to go to the Senate where he was assassinated. Another moment is right before he receives a warning from the soothsayer (someone who can see the future) of his close future but ignores it to proceed his celebration. Each of these situations shows how if Caesar was humble and observant his life could have been saved.…
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 made some very important decisions within his lifetime, leading to many things to happen over the course of a few decades. Julius Caesar was born on July 100 B.C. and died, brutally on the March 15, 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was born under parents who had noble backgrounds and died during a horrific stabbing, in which people stabbed him twenty-three times. Julius Caesar, a leader of the Roman empire, made the choice to expand his empire, impacting the destiny of the nation he lead. The choice to expand, that Julius Caesar made, was so impactful to his nation, creating an impact, not only on his nation, but others, and various genres of literature can be used as a proactive tool in educating people about choices and consequences to…
The people of Rome begin to realize that one man should not have too much power because it will eventually corrupt him. Caesar’s council is the first to realize this, thus bringing questions such as, “'Caesar'? Why should that name be sounded more than yours?” (Shakespeare 12). Caesar’s determination to gain more supremacy slowly leads to his own friends deserting him. He is unaware of the fact that his own council is conspiring against him. This all leads up to the Ides of March, where each person from his council stabs him, leaving Caesar to fall in shock. His last words, "Et tu, Brute?" (Shakespeare 77) show that he is so surprised that even his best friend conspired against him. His failure to notice the conspiracy against him, eventually leads to his demise. This teaches one to not only be aware of your surroundings, but to not let power corrupt. Caesar’s fate was prophesized, but could have been avoided if only he used his free will to discover the plans of the…

For every situation, there are multiple aspect into which it can be observed. Rarely does anything occur in which everyone has the same ideas or aspects on what happened. In the play, Julius Caesar, Shakespeare proves that many of his characters, especially Cassius, cannot merely be observed through one lens in order to be understood. Throughout the play the audience observes Cassius display two distinct personalities. Shakespeare wants to depict Cassius as being multi-dimensional in order to make his audience both sympathize as well as loathe his character. He accomplishes this by exploring Cassius’s two polar opposite sides: his cunning personality as well as his kinder and more sympathetic character.…
He is so overambitious and confident that he forgets he is a mortal being. Before he attends the senate at the Capitol, his wife, Calpurnia, convinces him not to go because she had a nightmare that was a harbinger of danger. Caesar also had ordered one of his servants to tell the priests to sacrifice and animal to predict the future. The servant returned and told him the animal had no heart which in those ancient times was a bad omen which Caesar ignored. However, Caesar believed in himself and dismissed all the claims suggesting that only cowards fear death. He tells his wife, “The gods do this in shame of cowardice: / Caesar should be a beast without a heart, / If he should stay at home to-day for fear. / No, Caesar shall not: danger knows full well” ( II.II.41-44). He underrated the power of the supernatural omens which led to his…
