Why Was Julius Caesar Murdered
First, Julius Caesar was an amazing Pearson! Do you think that he should get murdered? I know i don't what him to get murdered! One of his good qualities was he was very generous to the people, He spent his own money to help the poor buy land. So do you want Julius Caesar to live? If not keep reading!

My first point is, he was an amazing pardon to the people. When i was watching him in battle he was supposed to kill Brutus but he did not and took him in. He was also an amazing military leader! Lastly, He never gave up even if he knew he was going to die. So do you still think that he should die?

Even tho he was amazing to the people of Rome he was an even better military leader! He was known as one the greatest general/leader of all

    Julius was not selfish in any way. During his reign he helped many find homes, with taxes, and many more. Miola and Bloom stated “ His generosity United all Romans as familial Lagatees, and though he shows superbial , he places self last and others first” ( Miola and Bloom 1). Julius showed qualities that a good leader should always have. All in all, the assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a victorious soldier, and he was a prosperous leader.

    Caesar took advantage of his popularity among the plebeians of Rome to declare himself the Dictator for Life. His rise causes tension between him and fellow Senators because his power completes that of the Senate. The senators are afraid that their role in the government is becoming obsolete. Brutus says in his speech defending the decision to kill Caesar, “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves,/ than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (Shakespeare Caesar, III.ii. 23-24) The conspirators reason that as Caesar gaines power, they would lose theirs. His assassination is not a selfless act but Brutus argues that it benefits everyone that he is dead. Whether or not it truly helps everyone or just the Senators is questionable. Mark Antony, though, takes a different approach.…

    In the time of the ruling of Julius Caesar, all of the Romans loved most of Caesar's qualities. He was a good and popular leader and did a lot for the people. But some Romans had a problem with Caesar and plotted to kill him. These people were Brutus and Cassius. This started a civil war between the Romans. This war may have been prevented if Brutus and Cassius had done things a little differently. Cassius would have made a better leader rather than Brutus. Cassius also had more of a passion to kill Caesar. Brutus did not have the morals of a killer like Caesar did.…

    In Julius Caesar the rulers break and bend the rules one after another. I don't think the rulers should be able to break there rules and then tell us not to even if it was for the good of the country. “As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can” (Caesar). This quote really gets to the reader because all of the other rulers assumed that Julius Caesar was going to change their country into something that wasn’t good for the people. They were so worries about how they thought he was going to ruin their government that they didn’t look at the positive sides to Julius being a ruler. We have been learning about Julius Caesar in class for weeks and by the time you get done reading this essay you might agree with me. After you get done reading this you will gain more knowledge about giving one man so much power for one country can cause so much trouble. Julius Caesar and Brutus did not agree on the future government of Rome so Brutus ultimately killed Caesar. I disagree, Julius Caesar was a powerful man that was seen as a threat, brutus didn’t agree with having Rome as a dictatorship, and in result Brutus kills Caesar in fear of Rome falling apart and only to become a…

    After viewing the video “Who Killed Julius Caesar” I have come up with mixed ideas of what might have happened. I believe the death had to do with both suicide and murder, but mainly murder. My reason starts by the describing the occurrences Caesar endured during his time of death. Some of the main points the movie stated was that he was a master a manipulating people, he had epilepsy, he screamed out “kill me now, I won’t resist!”, and that he was sick with diarrhea and drowsiness. Most of these actions, the investigator thought, were due to the epilepsy. I believe it, but I also believe all of this was what made Caesar want to commit suicide. But in my mind, he didn’t commit suicide, but instead asked others to do so. Why? I will now tell you what I believe what really happened the day of Julius Caesars death.…

    In modern times, if a political figure is deemed unfit to oversee his or her duties, they are removed from office. Although impeachment appears to be vastly different from the act of assassination, Russ Baker, CEO of whowhatwhy.org argues that, “Assassination and impeachment have long been closely tied, as both involve the removal of a leader outside of elections. (Baker 14)” This statement is proven to be true in the case of Julius Caesar, whose long list of wrongdoings eventually lead to his assassination on the Ides of March. Caesar was killed by a group of some 60-odd Roman Senators who stabbed him to death. The assassination of Julius Caesar was just due to the fact that he was a vengeful tyrant that became much too powerful after…

    Murder is a type of crime known to be quite gruesome and cruel. With this in mind, most states define murder as an unauthorized killing that is both obstinate and premeditated, meaning that it was the intent after planning or waiting for the victim. During the time period of Ancient Rome, an incident on the Ides of March took place and caused a great deal of havoc. In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar the conspirators were not right to kill Caesar.…

    Julius Caesar is “without a doubt the most significant figure in the history of Rome” for a vast majority of reasons (Knight). Julius’ full name and official title was “General Gaius Julius Caesar” and remained so throughout his entire life (“Julius”). When Julius Caesar was born is not agreed upon between most historians. But the closest approximation is around 100 B.C.E. Julius Caesar’s family was apart of the Roman aristocracy. He died around 44 B.C.E. He was murdered by a group of “60 influential Romans” and was stabbed “23 times” with a dagger when he entered a “senate chamber” (Knight). His assassination was planned by his “friends” “Brutus and Cassius” and the famous line “Et tu? Brutus” comes from his death…
