But Caesar really loved Rome that anything happened in Rome good or bad affected him. Like Antony said “When the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. In other words Antony is just saying that Caesar really loved and cared about Rome no matter what. Lastly in Act 3 Scene 2 Mark Antony has now seen the assassination of his dear beloved Caesar and he wants to say a speech at his funeral. But in order to do this he must get in the good graces of the conspirators; therefore Rome can know what happen to their beloved Caesar.
Act 1 Scene 1 depicts the celebration of Caesar’s triumph by the Plebeians; the Tribunes Murellus and Flavius are annoyed, as the Plebeians have shown fickleness and disrespect. Murellus compares them to “hard hearts, cruel men of Rome”, a criticism towards the Plebeian’s capriciousness. Shakespeare’s intention of the phrase “cruel men of Rome”, serving to illustrate Murellus’ anger, may have been intended to portray the Tribunes’ loyalty, as they have been displeased by the commoners’ act. Murellus demands that they saw “great Pompey pass the streets of Rome” and that they “now strew flowers in his way that comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood?”. The majority of the people cheer for Caesar and his victory over Pompey; not long ago the ruler of Rome was Pompey himself.
Brutus, an honorable person, was accused of being a bad person because of Cassius. Brutus really is honorable and loyal, but the bad thing was that he made himself look bad which was his fault for being so gullible. There's a reason Antony calls Brutus the "noblest Roman,” he stands up for what he believes in, risks his life for Rome, and doesn't seem to be concerned with personal
In Act 1 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Cassius, a noble Roman and acquaintance of Caesar's, uses persuasion techniques to persuade particularly Brutus into joining the conspiracy against Caesar. During scene 2, Cassius convinces Brutus that Caesar is not a good ruler, which shows Cassius is jealous of Caesar's overall rise to power. The tools of persuasion that Cassius uses are the following: he provides evidence, asks rhetorical questions, and gives false information. Cassius uses specific evidence to persuade Brutus that Caesar needs to be killed for the good of Rome. In order to do this, Cassius needs to persuade Brutus that Caesar is no better than any of them; consequently, Cassius criticizes Caesar's impression of immortality by telling Brutus a story of how one day he and Caesar went for a swim.
Who handled appeals to ethics better? Explain your answer. Brutus used “ For mine honor, and have respect to mine honor, that”, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more”, and “who is here so vile that will not love his country” to show appeal
Likewise, Antony’s motivation is his loyalty to Caesar; he does not stop until he avenges Caesar’s death. Unfortunately, Cassius is self-absorbed; his world simply revolves around himself. Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar presents different vies of honor primarily through three main characters; Brutus is the most honorable due to his patriotism, Antony follows behind considering his loyalty, and Cassius is least honorable by cause of his self-centeredness. Brutus is the most honorable man, for he continues to act upon his beliefs and his motivations are pure; he wants to make Rome a better place. Brutus never gives in to ideas others force upon him.
From these thing, it is made clear that Lear is not only rash and insecure but also thoughtless and stupid. Based on these pieces of textual evidence, I think it is clear that King Lear is motivated by his self-concern, and nothing more. Shakespeare causes us to think this through both his words and his actions throughout Act
Unlike Caesar, Brutus is able to separate completely his public life from his private life; by giving priority to matters of state, he epitomizes Roman virtue. Torn between his loyalty to Caesar and his allegiance to the state, Brutus becomes the tragic hero of the play. Julius Caesar - A great Roman general and senator recently returned to Rome in triumph after a successful military campaign. While his good friend Brutus worries that Caesar may aspire to dictatorship over the Roman republic, Caesar seems to show no such inclination, declining the crown several times. Yet while Caesar may not be unduly power-hungry, he does possess his share of flaws.
Brutus is an honerable man.... the words chosen by Mark Anthony in William Shakespeare's popular play "Julius Caesar." Anthony starts the speech off speaking how Brutus just explained how Caesar was an ambitious man which is why he was murdered. Anthony argues with that stating how Caesar gave to the needy when they needed, "When the poor has cried, Caesar has wept." Following this statement he mocks Brutus saying, "But Caesar was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man." After that was all stated he reminded the people how Carsar did turn down the kings crown multiple times, "I thrice presented him a kinlgy crown, Which he did thrice refuse."
Othello: A Tragic Hero Othello is the epitome of a tragic hero. He starts out as a rather respectable and rational General, but was eventually consumed by jealousy and anger. A tragic hero must start out high in power and have tragic flaws that lead him to ultimately a tragedy. Othello’s tragic flaw is that he is easily manipulated, leading him to trust the wrong people. The play begins by showing the readers that Othello is a noble General.
