He had won them over until Antony began his speech. Mark Antony started off with a dramatic entrance, he entered the pulpit carrying Caesars lifeless body. Antony then began his speech with a contradiction, he talked about not praising Caesar but throughout most of his speech that is exactly what he did. Not only did he praise Caesar but he also tore at Brutus and the other conspirators image by repetitively and sarcastically calling them “honorable men”. He began to turn the crowd against the conspirators by convincing them that there was nothing ambitious about Caesar and he loved Rome more than he did himself.
One of the important parts of this scene was the discussion of Caesar’s desire of power. People feared Caesar of being king because he could possibly be the ruthless dictator that disregards all of the people’s feelings but his own. Caesar knows that he was the power to be king but when the crown is handed to him he does not accept it. The crown was given to him 3 times and all 3 times he denied the crown. Brutus's tragic flaw was that he was too trusting.
The power that the soldiers quickly acquired over the princess was used for personal gain by them. This was illustrated when the author states “…the sight of a woman eating excited him as nothing else now could.” Pg. 292 In society soldiers are generally known as honourable men but in the story the two soldiers show their character which is illustrated as one that does not care about others. When given power over the princess they take advantage of it leaving her lonely, and uncertain of her existence. This is shown when the princess states;
Brutus' tragic flaw is that he is nationalistic, very gullible, and is too honest. These flaws allowed people to manipulate his trust, his honesty, and his patriotic beliefs. During Caesars rein, the public was mostly pleased with having Julius Caesar as their emperor but there were people who were outraged and were determined to stop this from happening. The conspirators, as they were called, were a group made up of senators and men of high status in Rome. The two most important men were Marcus Brutus and Cassius.
Caesar was so ambitious that it wasn’t good for high power. Brutus said, “If then that a friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is the answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more… as Caesar loved me, I weep for him” (3.2.21-26). This shows that Brutus did it for the people and not for himself. Brutus was saddened to see his friend fall dead, but there was no other choice; Caesar was the ambitious person. He would only try to win the crowd and use them for his own good.
Who Deserves the Title of the Great? Ancient history is full of leaders and conquerors that impacted the world in many ways, but none can compare to the might of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Both were two very important and influential men in the history of the world but only one deserves the title of the Great. Alexander was a Greek king and military commander of one of the most successful armies in the world during the ancient times while Julius Caesar was also a military leader and was quintessential in the demise of the Roman Republic but the rise of the Roman Empire. These two men were determined to rule and conquer the world, and both came very close, though using different tactics.
Marcus increased social mobility by promoting army officers and civil administrators on merit and ability, rather than on birth and class. This had enormous effects on the empire because it placed qualified men to take important jobs, tearing down the previous social order but indefinitely improving Rome. A few years after his accession in 161 AD Marcus was plunged into warfare on the northern frontiers and led the campaigns himself. This courage won great appeal with the people of Rome and led the empire further towards greatness. His bravery and vision for the future makes him one of the best emperors of Rome.
A lot of people despise him but not just because he was cruel but because he was ruler of all of them in Rome. Most people were jealous of the power that he possessed. And they were mad that they could not have that power. One of the reasons that I think he was the noblest Roman of everyone else is the way he did things. When something needed done he had it completed even if it upset people
Describe the methods Julius Caesar used to advance his career up to 60BC. 10 marks Gaius Julius Caesar was born into a patrician, aristocratic family in 100BC and can be considered the most famous and well-known man of ancient Rome. His methods used to advance his career up to 60BC are often thought to be controversial and topics of debate. The hostility among both ancient and modern sources must be examined but also allow for the acknowledgement of Caesar’s accomplishments including his political office, public popularity and role as pontifex. Marian connections, political alliances and marriages all contributed to Caesar’s success up until 60BC.
