Julius Caesar Act Of Killing

Introduction Sometimes it doesn’t matter how bad someone may be, they just have to be better than their competition. In the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, the central conflict lies with Julius Caesar. People like Cassius viewed Julius as an up and coming tyrant so he wanted him dead. He convinced Brutus and few other to people help him kill Caesar.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare is about the assassination of Julius Caesar. The conspirators against Caesar recruit Brutus, who had great influence over the people of Rome and was trusted by Caesar. With his help they attack Caesar in the senate. At his funeral Mark Antony, a friend of Caesar's, is aloud to speak and he is able to turn the people against the conspirators. This causes a Civil war between Rome and the conspirators.

The death of a man, Julius Caesar. In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar the Roman dictator was loved by many citizens of Rome, but he was not loved by all. Some citizens of Rome hated Julius many of them in the senate. Two big conspirators of his death were Brutus and Cassius.

Julius Caesar was scripted by William Shakespeare, a highly regarded English writer. In the play, Cassius is the manipulator and instigator of the play, he uses rhetoric to gain more people in his plan to murder Caesar. Cassius convinces 7 others to join his conspiracy. The conspirators are Cassius, Brutus, Cinna, Casca, Trebonius, Ligarius, Decius, and Metellus; these are the men who plan to kill Caesar. After Caesar is murdered, the conspirators must hide their crime so they have Antony give a speech at his funeral but he must only say good things and not name the conspirators.

With the powerful Roman empire advancing on a global stand point, tensions began to rise as well. Tyrants from birth, began to expose their ego driven leadership that seemed to conflict with one another. Soon after the fall of the three-way alliance between Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, Julius Caesar, and Marcus Crassus, Caesar’s power began to take birth. A victorious battle was won by Julius Caesar over “Pompey” which in return led to an elaborate triumphal celebration. Following this major feat was the beginning of Caesar’s ten-year dictatorship that the tyrant had always desired.

We see people thirst for power, while others are worried for Rome's republic. In the result of these two feelings, they want to put their idea into action. The conspirators knew though that the only way they could do that was by getting Julius’ best friend Brutus to join them because he was well known as an honorable man. With Brutus even killing him and in on it, it serves the conspiracist well cause it makes their cause look better. With the death of Julius Caesar, we then see the result in that causing a civil war within the country.

The day of Caesar’s assassination was on the ides of March and the date was March 15th 44 BC. On the day of the assassination there was to be a senate meeting but the senate house was under construction that day so the meeting was to be held at the theater of Pompey. When Antony and Caesar arrived at the theater of Pompey Antony was waylaid by Trebonius outside the theater. This was part the conspirators plan because “many of the conspirators had wanted to kill Antony as well, but Brutus had insisted that they strike down Caesar alone” (Freeman 358). Caesar went in to the theater without Antony where he was greeted by the senate.

What if Julius Caesar did not pardon his enemies. First, he would not have been assassinated and continued his rule as dictator. If Caesar had lived, the republic would not have had problems that led to the fall of the republic This paper is a discussion on what would probably have happened if Caesar was not assassinated. If Caesar had not been assassinated the chaos in Rome after his death would not have happened.

After the assassination Antony eventually made his way to Caesar’s house where he collected Caesar’s papers and more importantly his will. Antony then “Realizing that Caesar’s assassins meant him no harm and so there was no threat posed to his life after all, Antony now recovered his courage” (Corrigan 124). The conspirators were emboldened by Caesar’s death and seized the capital of Rome along with an escort of gladiators for protection. However, the conspirators overestimated the desire of the people to be rid of Caesar and return to the old ways of the Roman republic. According to Isaac Asimov Rome was very quiet and the people believed that chaos and retribution from Caesar’s supporters was to come next.

Samantha Durand 27 October 2015 Dunipace 4th Julius Caesar Essay Brutus is the Tragic Hero William Shakespeare wrote “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” to tell the story of the tragedy that happened to him. When Caesar was going to become king, his own friends turned into conspirators against him. Since the conspirators said that Caesar would abuse the power of being king, they decided to murder him for the sake of the Roman people.

In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the person most responsible for the death of Julius Caesar is Cassius, he started the conspiracy and developed the plan of how to manipulate and convince Brutus to kill Caesar and lead Rome. While it may look like Brutus was the one responsible for his death, it was Cassius who made him think that he needed to that by slipping fake letters into his room. Cassius began the rebellion against Caesar, and then developed a plan to make Brutus think he need to kill Caesar and become the leader, and finally as well as the other conspirators, Cassius contributed to stabbing Caesar. TS 1: in the beginning of the story we are introduced to the conspirators, who are lead by Cassius and we discover that they are determined to destroy Caesar. In the beginning of the play Cassius is trying to convince Brutus that there is nothing special about Caesar, he is “Like a Colossus, and [they] petty men Walk under his huge legs”(I, II, 137).

Julilius Caesar was stabbed to death by his close friends or at least he thought they were. Brutus and Mark Anthony gave speechs at his funeral. Brutus we all know was the one who actually killed him but not that only one that stabbed him Brutus started his speech off like he was actually giving a speech like he was running for president or something but Anthonys speech was sincere mark didn 't stabbed his friend but Brutus did so it 's weird how he 's the one that killed him and gave a speech at his funeral. They were scared he would over power then so they killed him. I think it is dumb like why would you kill your friend and then turn around and talk at his funeral?

Murder is the unlawful planned out killing of one human being by another, which in society is seen as an action that is morally incorrect and should not be done; yet can this act under any circumstance ever be justified? In the Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar, a group of conspirators are against Caesar's rise in power and popularity, so they assassinate him to prevent Cesar from ascending greatly in power and becoming a tyrant. Even though the conspirators had the “good of Rome” in their intentions, Caesar's murder was not justified. Caesar was murdered under the pretext that he was gaining too much support and would eventually become a danger, and his “ambitious” behavior. Therefore, Caesar was murdered out of jealousy, morally incorrect

My friend Brutus, We have known each other for many years, and as your friend, I feel as though I have a duty to Rome to contact you about the issue at hand. We should not kill Caesar. Caesar has made many mistakes by making his law then decided to break it, gave Gaul's places in the senate-house, and even went against the state by marching on Rome. Though Cassius has convinced you to kill Caesar, I plead with you to reconsider. Killing Caesar is not what the people want, but is what the conspirators are tricking you into thinking.

(No Fear Shakespeare act 3 scene 1). This scene shows that the conspirators are using themselves to flattery Caesar and give false honor to him, so they will be closer to him and kill
