Best Answer

The son's character is refined by the high class of society he is involved in. He is proud, arrogant and believes himself to possess the qualities that were demanded in a gentleman's society. This is obvious in him even as a young boy, in the way he carries himself- with all the polish of a public school student. He is fastidious, impatient and sometimes very unfeeling; this is evident in the way he behaves towards his mother. He is annoyed at the mistakes she makes and insists that she corrects herself, and says so in a harsh way. Thus we can also say that he is insistent. He oversteps the guidelines of behavior towards elders, especially when it concerns one of his parents, through this. So he is rude and overbearing. As the story progresses, we find that he is ripped away from basic human qualities- he has no feelings for the underprivileged, or the so-called low class of society, other than contempt and disrespect and down to earth prejudices.

How did Julius Caesar change rome?

Julius Caesar implemented reforms which would later lay the foundations for the subsequent establishment of rule by emperors. They helped Augustus to dismantle the intuitions of the republic and establish his absolute personal rule after he won the civil wars which followed Caesar's death. Augustus retained these reforms because they concentrated power in the hands of one man. Caesar took on the powers of the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians), which allowed him to control the plebeian tribunes and the Plebeian Council and to assume the tribunician power veto the senate. He also took the title of "Prefect of the Morals" which was a new office which replaced that of the censors. This gave him the same powers and those of the censors, but exempted him from the checks the censors had been subjected to. These powers included the enrolling of the senators, the oversight of public morals, carrying out the census and commissioning public works). Caesar used thrse powers to to increase the seats of the senate from 600 an==to 900 and to fill them with his supporters; to carry out a census himself and to commission public works himself. Augustus also took the tribunician powers and made himself prefect of the Morals. He brought the number of seats in the senate to 600.Caesar also ended the privilege of the senate to appoint the governors of the provinces (conquered territories) and appointed them and the other officials of the provinces himself. In 45 B.C. when he was preparing for a war against the Persians, he passed a law which allowed him to appoint all the magistrates (officers of state) for 43 BC and the Consuls for 42 B.C. Such officers were mean to be elected annually - apart from the censors who were elected every 18 months. Under Augustus, the magistrates continued to be appointees of the ruler. Caesar claimed that his family descended from the goddess Venus and created a cult of himself. Augustus, who was Caesar's adaptive son, retained this claim. Caesar was also the first leader who placed his image on Roman coins. The emperors followed this precedent. Julius Caesar issued large quantities of the aureus, a gold coin which had previously been minted infrequently (usually to make large payments from captured booty). This paved the way for the central role the aureus played in the currency system of the subsequent imperial period. He carried out a census and, based on the findings, reduced the number of people entitled to the grain dole from 320,000 to 150,000. Augustus retained this change. To alleviate the problems this measure would cause Caesar ordered large estates to hire at least 1/3 of their labour from free citizens instead of using slaves to give work to the landless poor. Another important change introduced by Caesar was the reform of the Roman calendar. He switched from a lunar to a solar calendar. On the advice of the Alexandrian scholar Sosigenes, he added 10 days per year, bringing it in line with the solar cycle. He added 67 days to the year of the reform to align the calendar with the winter solstice. This has been called the Julian calendar. Apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in1582, it is the calendar we still use, which is now called the Gregorian calendar. Other changes made by Caesar were the setting of maximum interest rate for loans to 12% to curtail usury and wrote off ¼ of all debts, a law which prohibited any citizens between the ages of 20 to 40 to leave Italy for more than 3 years, unless on military assignment. He ordered the reconstruction of Carthage and Corinth and the foundation of new Roman colonies around the empire. Nearly 80,000 poor people were given land this way. Another change was Caesar's conquest of Gaul, which added to Rome an area twice the size of Italy.
