    Julius Caesar Social Responsibility In Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar

    P0mpey filled the city with s0ldiers, a m0ve which intimidated the triumvirate's 0pp0nents. Bibulus attempted t0 declare the 0mens unfav0rable and thus v0id the new law,but was driven from the forum by Caesar's armed supporters. His bodyguards had their ceremonial axes broken, two high magistrates accompanying him were wounded, and he had a bucket of excrement thrown over him. In fear of his life, he retired to his house for the rest of the year, issuing occasional proclamations of bad omens. These attempts toobstruct Caesar's legislation proved ineffective.Roman satirists ever after referred to the year as "the consulship of Julius and Caesar."[44]…

    Significance Of The Salem Witch Trials In Julius Caesar

    Akin to the Salem Witch Trials that took place in 1692 and 1693, the assassination of the great Julius Caesar in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar appeared to be unreasonable or unjust to many of those that honor him. However, unlike the notorious Salem Witch Trials, it is clear that as light manifests itself upon the mysterious reasons in regards to why Julius Caesar was brutally murdered, it is made obvious that Julius Caesar may not have been quite the adored and honorable man that the Romans so hoped for. There was a side to the Julius Caesar that remained hidden by his graciousness and utterly generous facade. This side of the great and almighty Caesar would prove to convince and compel the very Senators that served below him, that Caesar must meet his rather “timely” demise.…

    Twelve Caesars

    When Tiberius succeeded Augustus, he was modest in his way of looking over the empire. He “played a most unassuming part, almost humbler than that of a private citizen” (Suetonius, Tiberius, 26). He showed utmost modesty by not allowing himself to be worshipped alongside Gods and not allowing any statues of him be placed next to any of the Gods. He believed himself to be a public servant and did not take to flattery. One such instance of his humility is evident when he is once referred to as Lord and he asked not to be addressed to in such a fashion. When someone spoke of his “sacred” duties he insisted they refer to them as laborious and not sacred. Finally, when someone mentioned they have appeared before the senate “by the emperor’s authority” he interjected pleading the speaker to use the term “persuasion” instead of “authority” (Suetonius, Tiberius, 27). It is evident that…

    Common People In Julius Caesar

    The citizens of Rome are also called the plebeians. The plebeians didn’t have many lines as the main characters in the play, but they cause what the outcome of the play will be. Throughout the play, they are manipulated by their leaders, changing their minds quickly, and had an important role in the play. The common people support their leaders throughout the play, and in return the rulers would gain their trust and more power to rule in making decisions for them or against them. In Julius Caesar, the common people are easily manipulated by their leaders, but their rulers need the support of the plebeians, because they could overthrow their leaders.…

    Conflicting Perspectives Julius Caesar

    From the opening scene of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare introduces conflict. Flavius and Murellus introduce Caesar as a contentious personality, as they rebuke the “mechanicals” who “make holidays to see Caesar” and “rejoice his triumph”. The Tribunes are unhappy with these celebrations as shown through the contrast in tone when Murellus adresses the “Mechanicals” with “You blocks, You stones, you worse than senseless things!” demonstrating the conflicting perspectives within the social classes. The Tribunes believe that Caesar's “growing feathers” need to be “Pluck's” as they are concerned that with his growing power they will be kept in “servile fearfulness”. Shakespeare conveys their anger at the fickleness of the “Mechanicals”, through the use of imperatives such as “answer me directly” and “be gone!'...” as they rebuke their “ingratitude” to Pompey. This shows the dominance of the Tribunes and…

    Corruption In Julius Caesar Essay

    Without any power, a society tends to become irrational, indecisive and flavorless. This ideal is portrayed in all scenes including plebeians, whether through direct or indirect characterization. The premiering scene portrayed Marullus and Flavius along the streets, scolding commoners for being hypocrites. “You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!/O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,/Knew you not Pompey?” (1.1.27-29) was proclaimed by Marullus, in protest of Caesars’ celebrations. This reveals that the common people of Rome are easily swayed, as they cheered for Caesar defeating his predecessor, after recently cheering for Pompey himself. An exquisite example of the citizens’ complacency comes from the Third Plebeian. He states,“The noble Brutus is ascended: silence” (3.2.14) but yet, after a short speech from Antony regarding the conspirators, he claims, “There’s not a nobler man in Rome than Antony”( 3.2.96). Furthermore, when attending to Caesar,“We are bless’d that Rome is rid of him”(3.2.48) stated the citizens, only to later say, “They were villains, murderers” (3.2.135) merely for doing the very “ridding” they praised! Complicity and irrationality are portrayed by the violent outburst, “Revenge!—About!—Seek!—Burn!/Fire!—Kill!—Slay! Let not a traitor live” (3.2.183-184) from the citizens, once Antony’s speech is…

    Apocolocyntosis Reflect Popular Attitudes To The Emperor Claudius Among His Contemporaries

    Emperor Claudius is a figure of largely mixed popularity and opinions, and Seneca’s satire, the Apocolocyntosis (herein abbreviated to Apoc.) poorly reflects the multifaceted character of Claudius (Fagan, 1998). The opinions of his many contemporaries which are not limited to nobles, but to a wider range, included those within Rome and without, which in turn reflects the people: from plebeian to senator. As is often the case, only the opinion of the nobility was seen, because the lower classes were most often unable to write (find supporting evidence) and therefore their opinions of the matter are non-existent. The…

    Reasons: Julius Caesar's Views On Suicide

    Caesar had named himself the dictator of Rome for life, and the citizens did not like that because they wanted to keep their Roman Republic how it was before. The republic was divided into 3 parts, and if Caesar was dictator for life, then he would continue to gain more and more power, and would eventually just pass laws without having anybody vote on them. Shortly before Caesar’s death, he had announced himself as dictator for life in Rome. Many politicians saw Caesar as eventually becoming a king, and Rome did not want a monarchical…
