What is Julius Caesar monologue?
A monologue is a speech made by one person, either in the presence or absence of others. Julius Caesar is a play by William Shakespeare. "Julius Caesar Monologue" is a long speech made by someone in that play. Mark Antony has a long monologue in the play and so does Brutus. Various characters have shorter speeches long enough to consider as monologues: Cassius, Casca, Brutus and Antony again, and even Caesar.
What was dangerous about the birth of Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar's birth gives rise to the name Cesarean Section for a birth where the child is surgically removed from the womb, instead of being born normally from the birth canal. Such an operation is safe enough now, but in Caesar's day would certainly have resulted in the death of the mother. However, it actually had nothing to do with Julius Caesar as he as born in the normal way with nothing unusual and his mother lived and was a driving influence on his life. That Julius Caesar was born by the ancient version of a c-section, is just another historical myth or misconception.

What inspired William Shakespeare to write plays about Julius Caesar?
Plays set in ancient Rome were not exactly common before Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar. He himself had set one of his early plays, Titus Andronicus, in ancient Rome, and there may also have been a play about Titus and Vespasian and an early version of Appius and Virginia. For some reason, Shakespeare was attracted to the plots available in Plutarch's Lives and the Caesar and Antony plays derive from this source. His sense of what would sell did not fail, and his Roman plays were successful enough to inspire imitation, notably Jonson's Sejanus His Fall.
Was Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's play a real threat to the roman republic?
I am not sure that Shakespeare takes sides on this one. His focus is on Brutus particularly, so it is Brutus's perception that Caesar was such a threat which matters. The historical question is vexed and centres around two questions: whether the republic was doomed no matter what Caesar did and whether the empire wasn't in fact a better system than the republic anyway. Brutus, as portrayed by Shakespeare, was such a wholehearted supporter of the republic that he would not countenance any suggestion that there was a better system or that it was destined to fail. That Caesar's actions historically robbed the republic of its authority cannot be doubted, and that would have been good enough for Brutus to consider him a threat. However, Shakespeare relies on the audience's general knowledge of Roman history to fill in those details. He does show Caesar as incredibly vain and arrogant, just the kind of person that would make a tyrannical dictator, but not whether he was in fact a tyrant.

Who was the king before Caesar?
Julius Caesar was NOT a king, Rome had been a republic for several hundred years. Before that, it had been ruled by kings, and after Caesar's murder it soon switched to emperors (for the first decades there were 2 then 3 rulers at the same time, but then they decided 1 emperor was enough!).
When did roman republic become a dictatorship?
The Roman Republic never became a dictatorship. The republic fell and was replaced by 503 year of rule by emperors which was established by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, in 27 BC. The emperors were absolute rulers. Julius Caesar had himself appointed dictator for life in 44 BC. However, the term dictator was very different in Roman times. The dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree to deal with emergencies. Therefore, Caesar's appointment did not amount to dictatorship was we understand it nowadays. What was different about Caesar's appointment was that it was as Dictator for Life, a position that no other Roman dictator had ever been offered, it implies a change in the timbre of the office. It was unusual and threatening enough to one group of Senators that it led to Caesar's assassination.

Which Egyptian pharaoh had a child with Julius Caesar?
It is because Cleopatra was trying to make herself queen of Egypt by getting help from Caesar. Caesar did not know if he should trust her. With the birth of their child Caesar knew that Cleopatra was trustworthy enough and thus ready to become a queen.
What was one of julius Caesar's achievements?
He fought battles, subdued provinces, defeated internal enemies, but then so had plenty of others who had won most of the empire. Fabius Maximus got Maximus - the Greatest, while Pompey and even Alexander only got Magnus - the Great. It might have been the greatest problem of all of stabilising the Roman state however he wasn't smart enough how to work it out. He improved on Sulla's attempt, but by making himself dictator for life, had no enduring solution and it naturally fell apart when his life was ended. Solving that main problem was left to Augustus. His accomplisment was rather one of public relations. Post mortem, he was raised amongst the gods. He didn't get Great or Greatest, he simply got Caesar - he became the image of a successful and divine ruler - so successfully was this presented that subsequent rulers wanted the trademark name of Caesar. Augustus, his adopted son, took the name Caesar, as did the subsequent emperors. We even find this down to the Czar of Russia and Kaiser of Germany (both corruptions of Caesar). Even though Caesar is a jocular catch name for Baldy (baldness ran in his family, and although Caesar meant 'fine head of hair' it was a joke) later important people all were quite anxious for the title because of the aura of success, invicibility and divine right.
