Although the kiss seemed to have been in good manner, it proceeded to the death of Jesus. This is similar to when the colonists accepted British rule, but the British

We see a continued progression of the use of emotional response in Giotto di Bondone's, The Kiss of Judas, in which we see a stunned, put-off reaction from the Christ as His disciple betrays Him. The sterile, careless expression of former images of the Christ seem to be done away with to expose a very human nature. What artists formerly portrayed as the uncharitably divine became the very touchable, vulnerable, and human Messiah. In St Luke by Master Theodoric, we see an advance sense of humor in the facial expression, off-centered eyes, and sideways glance towards the descending winged ram. These aspects of the image seem complement the spiritual significance of the subject. Humor, naturalism, and vibrant color creates an intimacy that draws the audience into a relationship with the story, thus, making the piece – and the message – real to

Many people know that Julius Caesar was betrayed and killed by many people who he had thought to be his friends. Some less common knowledge is that he did still have friends and others who stayed loyal to him. One man named Mark Antony was the most loyal of them all, even after Caesar’s death. When he found out Caesar had been killed, he began plotting to get on the traitor’s good sides and make it seem as if he had joined them so that he could convince the citizens to fight against them with him. He deceived the traitors and convinced them to let him speak at Caesar’s funeral, and in this speech he turned the citizens against them using very powerful rhetorical skills. After he had drove the traitors from the city, he took control of the city and led them to victory in a war against the conspirator’s armies. These are three telling examples that prove Antony’s skill and potential as a leader.

The power of rhetoric is embodied throughout William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Specifically, in the context of Julius Caesar’s funeral, Brutus and Antony demonstrate the influence rhetorical appeals and devices have upon the audience’s opinion. In the justifying the murder of Julius Caesar, both orations appeal to the audience through ethos, pathos and logos. Respectively, the sense of reliability, emotional effects and the rationality executed in Brutus’s speech, yet more effectively accomplished in Antony’s speech, successfully transform the opinion of the audience from one view to the contrary. Brutus speaks first appealing to the audience through logic in hopes of suppressing the mutiny, and illuminating a more rational response. The audience is engaged as Brutus simply states that Caesar was overly ambitious, however, it is Antony’s subsequent oration that fully captivates the audience. Dismantling Brutus’s speech,

Have you ever done something for the good of someone but have it hurt somebody else? This is what happens In Julius Caesar when Brutus kills Caesar.

When we think about this passage we see that it is Claudius' reference to Cain's murder of Abel: The "primal eldest curse" is the first murder recorded in the Christian bible.

As the Gospel of Luke deals more directly with the theme of forgiveness and compassion than the other three gospels, the unknown author’s unique presentation of the characters makes the audience witness the events of the Crucifixion in a way that encourages a sympathetic or forgiving response because this ability to forgive would bring a medieval audience spiritually closer to God. Furthermore, the possibility that the soldiers might attain spiritual salvation further suggests — to a medieval audience — that spiritual salvation is possible with the belief that God is a forgiving Creator. Ultimately, the unknown author of the York Crucifixion play creates a work that seems to be mindful of the religious politics in late medieval England and emphasizes God’s sense of forgiveness for a medieval

Poetic terms in Julius Caesar written by Shakespeare were especially apparent in the speech Cassius made to Brutus in Act 1 Scene 2. Cassius used allusions to exaggerate and prove his point to Brutus that Caesar would not be a good king and that Brutus was an equal to Caesar. In particular, Cassius says in lines 114 to 117, “I, as Aeneas, our great ancestor, / Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder / The old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber / Did I the tired Caesar.” Here, Shakespeare refers to both Aeneas and Anchises as allusions. Cassius is saying that he is like Aeneas, the Trojan hero to show how strong and powerful he was, while Caesar was like Anchises, the father of Aeneas, who was weak and fragile. This comparison of Cassius and Caesar to the mythology tale of Virgil’s Aeneid was intentionally made by Shakespeare to show how persuasive Cassius was to the people. Additionally, Caesar was compared to Colossus in lines 135 to 139. Cassius said, “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world / Like a Colossus, and we petty men / Walk under his huge legs and peep about / To find ourselves dishonourable

The eras of the past, especially those as far back in history as the Roman Empire, weren’t exactly the greatest bastions of scientific knowledge and prolific education. As such, different beliefs ran rampant; deities and other supernatural forces, filling in for the various gaps in knowledge, provided both temporary solutions and explanations for the apprehensive populace. Many schools of higher thinking, such as the Epicurean philosophy from which Greek and Roman thinkers like Lucretius drew their ideas, began to come into conflict with these fear-driven belief systems as they pushed the boundaries of scientific thinking. It then is of no surprise that individuals such as Lucretius would have such extensive complaints against the evils of

Judas betrays Jesus and he is brought to the Prefect Pilate after being arrested based on the suspicion of acting treasonably by declaring himself King of the Jews. Pilate interrogates him several times and continuously finds that Jesus has done nothing wrong. After much time and the suggestions of the crowd, Pilate sentences Jesus to death by crucifixion, and he ultimately ends up on the cross. Jesus requests that Pilate write a specific inscription on the cross that says; “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” Pilate tells the others that what he had written he had written, and then Jesus begins to declare that he is thirsty. At this point someone put of sponge of wine to his mouth and he says: “It is finished” (John, 19:30). Then, Jesus dies and the soldiers pierced him in the side with a spear.

The film also depicted that crucifixion was typically a form of death that was harsh, violent, and humiliating, which is accurate in comparison to crucifixions in history.
