June is another victim of patriarchal oppression just like Connie’s mother, a typical “house wife”. Both the mother’s and sister’s roles fully reflect how women were treated at that time. They were controlled by males, displayed a lack of confidence and did not have their own independent self-consciousness. Oates used Connie’s independent identity and rebellious behaviors to represent women’s dissatisfaction with patriarchy, but had no courage to make a change. When Oates starts the story by introducing Connie without a last name, Oates created a character with a clear independent identity, while at the same time rebelling against the patriarchy.
Brutus isn't being very friendly to him. He answers by saying that he has had a lot on his mind lately. Cassius's story attacks what aspect of Caesar's makeup?

Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. Bear with me; my heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me” (3.2.103-106). However, Brutus had a more difficult job as he had to convince the crowd to forgive him for the murder of the head of the Roman Empire. “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men” (3.2.20-21). One of the rhetorical appeals that Antony used in his speech was pathos.

His arrogant attitude towards Romans and his self centered attitude brought an early death upon him.

Arrogance is defined as "offensive display of superiority or self importance and overwhelming pride". This was the character of Caesar in a single sentence.
Julius Caesar Journaling Project Taylor Browne May 31, 2013 English 10 Period 2B Act 1: The Conspiracy Is Looming Dear Diary, I don’t like Caesar at all.

This conflicts her emotions because she wants to be able to mourn her brother, but she does not want to disobey her uncle. These emotions help reveal the theme because Antigone decides that she should bury her brother despite Creon’s law. Antigone is faithful to the unwritten laws of the Gods because she feels they are more important than those made by man. The theme of the play is also revealed through the external conflict between Creon and the Gods. Creon being stubborn and proud feels that he is above the laws of the almighty, he neglects to see the signs the Gods send as a warning until he has lost everything.
This play suggested that familial values and love dominate political values. Antigone had a strong sense of duty to her family that made her to disobey Creon and to respectfully bury Polyneices, her brother and willing to die for dignity and a display against the authority.

Cassius exclaims to be a “insupportable and touching loss,” shows that Brutus was wrong to kill Caesar, when even Portia, believes that taking her own life is the only way out. Brutus proves that even he felt that the assassination was unjustified. Shakespeare shows this when Brutus gets into an argument with Cassius about, “we now/ contaminate our fingers with base bribes.” A reason why Brutus killed Caesar was that he was corrupting the government and gaining power. This proves that killing Caesar is not bad, because Caesar’s corrupt ways appear in Cassius. Lastly, Brutus finally realizes that the assassination wasn’t right at the end of the play.
