Things like killing the ruler of Rome and throwing the whole empire into turmoil. For their argument they argued that because they loved Rome so much, that is why they had to kill Caesar because they could not have a ruler over Rome. Their forefathers had fought for the freedom and republic of Rome and they even killed a guy who tried to be ruler. Brutus and Cassius had the right idea in trying to protect the republic but they didn’t think it through enough and that is where their plan failed. Caesar was given a crown three times and the people wanted him to have it, but all three times he rejected it to look good in front of the people.

The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.

The son of Healfdene starts off his speech by thanking Beowulf. “Beowulf my friend/your name shall resound in the nations/that are farthest away.” (1702-04) From the beginning of this speech it is foreshadowed that good will come of Beowulf’s future as he has not only proven himself once in the victory over Grendel, but twice by defeating Grendel’s mother. He has proven his worth and it appears to be that Beowulf has a very heroic future ahead of him as a great leader and ruler. However, closer to the end of this speech, a warning ensues “but in little time/sickness or a sword will strip it from you/either enfolding flame or a floods billow/or a knife-stab or the stoop of a spear/death shall soon have beaten you then/O brave warrior!” (1761-67) The use of alliteration is prominent in these lines with the constant use of the sounds of “s”, as well as “e” and “f”. These constant sounds help show the seriousness of this warning.
