Julius Caesar Conflicting Perspectives

Conflicting perspectives are the direct result of bias or self-interest as people are always quick to enforce the correctness of their perspective over those of others, by contrasting their perspectives with others, they seek to advantage their own point of view opposed to the viewpoints of others. Conflicting perspectives are caused by bias, or prejudice, and self-interest from a person, event or situation that is encountered. William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Philadelphia (1993), written by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Jonathan Demme, are both prime examples of when bias and self-interest lead to conflicting perspectives in society. More than anything else, conflicting perspectives are the immediate result of bias or self-interest

Conflicting perspectives arise when two individuals experience the same situations, events or personalities, but take meaning from these experiences in opposing ways. Because of these contradictory views, we –as the audience – must challenge our assessment of the truth.

1. When Caesar says that Cassius thinks too much, I agree. Cassius tends to look into the details and over think simple situations. He becomes very meticulous about how the group of the conspirators is organized. Also, while Cassius is the one who originally comes up with the idea of the conspiracy and that he wants Brutus to be in charge, he thinks through the plan, yet does not want to take responsibility. Cassius just about argues with himself, due to too many thoughts running through his mind. He thinks about so vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief, where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this before a willing bondman. Then I know my answer must be made. But I am armed and dangers to me

In, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, there are many decisions to make, like when Caesar came back from Rome, he was offered the crown three times but denies it. He does this because he wants to feel needed, Brutus and the other conspirators realized what Caesar was doing and that he had the chance to be dangerous. With the help of Cassius’s letters, Brutus joined the conspirators, and they made a plan to kill Caesar.

Mahatma Gandhi once said “There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts.” This quote illustrates the idea that man must live longer with his conscience than with a simple decision made in a courtroom. The distinction between right and wrong must be derived from one’s morals, not the rulings of the state. This concept of conscience conquering law can be applied to works of literature such as the Sophocles’ Greek tragedy Antigone and Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men.

The true Julius Caesar and his motivations and desires have remained a matter of countless disputes. The portrait, called Caesar Victorious, and Shakespeare's written portrayal of Caesar characterize the dual viewpoints of Caesar. Some perceive Caesar as unadulterated and beyond reprimand; while others appreciate Caesar as striving and acquisitive.

Julius Caesar is mostly known for his great leadership in Rome´s Empire, he accomplished everything he purposed and he did whatever it took to make it happen. He had all it took to be such a leader; women were in love with him, men wanted to be part of his army and children wanted to be like him when they grow up. For Caesar all it took was courage and selfishness to get to where he was.

I am Julius Caesar, and I am part of the play Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare. I am the dictator of the corrupt Roman Republic at the age of 55 in the year of 44 B.C. In this monologue, I have found myself in front of several senators of the Roman Republic.

Julius Caesar was the hero of the story because his indecisive mind and mistakes, clouded his judgment. After Caesar had gained power, citizens of Rome were delighted that Caesar was their dictator, frustrating many people loyal to Pompey, as Marullus states, “You cruel men of Rome, knew you not Pompey.” Later, the conspiracy had formed, Cassius added Brutus to the faction, when Brutus stated, “Give me your hands all over, one by one.” In other words, Caesar made a mistake, which caused the conspiracy to take action, eventually killing him. On the Ides of March, Calpurnia was convinced that her was a sign, therefore she convinced Caesar to stay home, when he says, “for thy humour, I will stay at home.” However, then Decius, a conspirator, tells

Conflicting perspectives, What are they? Conflicting perspectives are a clash of ideologies and belief systems. When studying conflicting perspectives we are able to generate diverse and provocative insights, like the idea that is appealing to an audiences logic and reason is less effective in persuading them as opposed to appealing to their emotions which is more effective. This can be seen through the texts Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the article 'Arguments Against Abortion' by Kerby Anderson and the essay ‘Abortion and the Alternatives' by Voula Papas.

There have been many famous leaders in Roman history but none could match Julius Caesar[See Figure 1]. Julius Caesar was born on July 13, 100 BC in Rome and died March 15, 44 BC in Rome.

Caesar devised a new Calendar called the Julian Calendar to combat that manipulation[See Figure 2]. The Calendar still has an influence in Eastern Orthodox Christian countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Greece and much more. That is only one out of many

Philosophy of Ancient Rome during the era of Julius Caesar was heavily influenced by the beliefs of two contrasting principles, Stoicism and Epicureanism. Stoicism reflects the belief that knowledge is the root of all virtue, and that wise live in harmony with Fate. This includes remaining indifferent to both pleasure and pain to only endure what is totally necessary. To achieve this, Stoics put intellect over feelings, and do not let emotions hinder decisions and actions. Epicureanism, on the other hand, explains that one must seek modest pleasures to achieve tranquility, freedom from fear, and avoidance of physical pain. This means putting mental satisfaction over physical satisfaction and avoiding the evils
