    I think that ambition is the theme in this play. The entire time rather Caesar‚ Antony‚ Brutus or Cassius have a lot of ambition. Although Caesar isn’t too ambitious‚ he still want the crown deep down. He never makes a large attempt at “taking over’’ or trying to rule but the word that he will be getting the crown at the Ides of March is enough to motivate him to go. Now‚ Cassius has more ambition than almost anyone. He tries constantly to convince Brutus constantly to overthrow and kill Julius

Even the historian Ted Cowan describes him “He was the last great Celtic ruler in Scotland.”   On the contrary‚
