Leader to prey. Respect to hostility. Power to death. These unfortunate events are what shape the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and the tragic hero in it.

In Julius Caesar‚ by William Shakespeare‚ Mark Antony uses all three of the persuasive appeals to convince people to one side of an argument or another. However‚ the most common appeal used by Antony is logos. This can be seen when he talks at Julius Caesar’s funeral‚ when he convinces Brutus and Cassius not to kill him after Caesar’s death‚ and when he asks if anyone else would leave their estate to the Romans like Caesar did. One of the most obvious times Antony uses logos to persuade a crowd

The overlook of Brutus’s and Antony’s speeches are not similar at all in my eyes. Brutus’s speech was trying to show the citizens that there was no harm in killing Julius Caesar‚ which there was.

The citizens were moved by his speech because of how protected they felt by his words. Brutus talks good of Caesar‚ saying how there are tears for his love‚ joy for his fortune‚ honor

I think there are three reasons of why Judas betrayed Jesus. There could have been many reasons for why Judas betrayed Jesus‚ but I think in the text and from what we know about Judas‚ the reasons behind his betrayal were pretty clear. The first reason is that Judas is corrupt when it comes to money‚ as he was a tax collector‚ and he would do anything to get extra money. It says in John 12:6‚ “…he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag‚ he used to help himself to what was put into it.” Judas went

Our beloved hero‚ leader and friend has been killed. Caesar was brutally murdered by the selected amount of despicable senators of the republic. People may feel beloved Caesar could have prevented it from happening if he had listened to augur Spurinna’s warning about how “The danger threatening him would not come later than the Ides of March” (Suetonius‚ 206). However‚ natural signs‚ mostly being birds‚ are what Augurs utilize to predict the future‚ which cannot be extremely accurate. Therefore it
