The development of the characters help advance the plot in each passage by using the roles to use a hero vs villain theme for each story. This also shows how they are similar to one another. In passage one, the lion saves Androcles from the death sentence by refusing to kill him. In this case, the emperor would be considered the villain because he’s the one who initially ordered the death penalty on Androcles. Also in the first passage, Androcles helps the lion to get a thorn out of its paw, so he too could be considered a form of hero in this passage.

In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus uses the analogy “ It is the bright day that brings forth the adder and that craves wary walking.” to justify his reasoning for wanting to kill Caesar.

A tragic hero is usually a person of noble birth. In the play Cassius says “There was a Brutus once that would have brook’d, the eternal devil to keep his state in Rome, as easily as a king”. That quote is talking about Lucius Junius Brutus, which is Marcus Brutus’ ancestor.

Throughout time people have always had different ranges of power. The effect of this power is that some people lose control and allow power to corrupt them. Some prime examples of how power corrupts can be seen through the following people: Brutus in the play The tragedy of Julius Caesar, Josef Mengele, a Nazi physician from the Holocaust, and North Korea's political leader, Kim Jong Un. These three people have either let power corrupt them even more then they have already been corrupted, or they have allowed power to completely change their character, and corrupt them into being someone they are not.

Cassius The brother-in-law of Brutus and an acute judge of human nature, Cassius organizes the conspiracy against Caesar and recruits Brutus by passionate argument and by deviously placed, forged letters. He argues that Antony should be assassinated along with Caesar, that Antony should not speak at Caesar's funeral, and that he (Cassius) and Brutus should not fight at Philippi, but he eventually defers to Brutus in each instance.

Olivia Kracl Mrs. Watt English 2A Feb. 9, 2018 Fate In The Stars Shakespeare is well known for writing tragic plays. Julius Caesar is one that was believed to have been written in 1599, though it isn’t known for sure when it was exactly written.

In the play Julius Caesar, Brutus’s idealism by a large extent results in his losing touch with reality. His honour is an important quality that he prides himself on. Brutus follows a very strict moral and ethical code, that he is often unaware that he contradicts himself. He is unable to see the consequences of his actions after Caesar's death. Brutus honour leads him to be naïve.

Character Analysis of Brutus Some people believe that Brutus is a neanderthal because he stabbed Caesar in the back but some think otherwise. It is important to understand Brutus from both sides so people understand where he was coming from when he killed Caesar. This is important because it can either make a person think Brutus is a unloyal person or it can make a person think the exact opposite. I believe Brutus was absolutely loyal and he had every right to kill Caesar.

As we all know, William Shakespeare wrote many tragic plays and he wrote each one in its own different way. Shakespeare wrote plays throughout his life because not only did he love doing it but he also got much great feedback and money. In “Julius Caesar”, he brought a good point about humans and how gullible they could be at times. We as humans don’t really listen to our voice most of the time but we do what everyone else is doing or what would seem right like what Julius Caesar said “We keep ourselves small and are not inspired.”

Throughout the entire play, we experience many people convincing others through words. They may not sound powerful, yet what they do, has more impact than that of fists. Thus, the theme of Julius Caesar is speech has power that does not fade, it begins as a sound, but ends in a deed. In this play, this theme appears multiple times which. For instance, Decius, a conspirator, illustrates the theme when he convinced Caesar to go to the Senate. “The senate have concluded, to give this day a crown to mighty Caesar. If you shall send them word, you will not come, their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock, apt to be render’d, for someone to say, ‘Break up the senate till another time, when Caesar’s wife shall meet with better dreams’ if Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper, ‘Lo, Caesar is afraid?’ pardon me, Ceasar; for my dear dear love to our proceeding bids me tell you this; and reason to my love is liable. “-Decius

You ever had a best friend? Ever had a good group of friends you felt close to and trusted? THEN HAVING EVERYONE IN THAT GROUP COME UP ON YOU AND STAB YOU IN THE BACK MULTIPLE TIMES TILL YOU DIE, LITERALLY! This is the same thing that happened in the play (and real life) to Julius Caesar. During his rise to success and prosperous times as leader, others weren’t too fond of that and took it upon themselves to “fix” it. In doing so all Caesar’s closest men formed together a conspiracy and that is where the story starts going. The group of men are with Caesar and when the time is right, they execute him suddenly. Once the deed has been done, the group of assassins explain to the people what happened and why it was. Shortly after, Antony tells the people how everything really is and opens their eyes with his speech. You are can see how powerful a good speech can be and what can happen if you aren’t thorough in everything you do.
