How does mark Antony become corrupt in Julius Caesar?

Wasn't he always? His toady-like adherence to Caesar was clearly a way to get himself in a position of power.

Who says et tu brute in Julius Caesar?

Question: In principle, Et tu, Brute! means "And you, too, brutus?" but i do not understand why the "us" changes to "e" in the name. i assume shakespeare was just trying to show off his knowledge of how latin endings change because of case, but isn't this still the nominative case?Correct Answer:No. The nominative case is used to indicate subjects, as in:Brutus venit. = Brutus is coming.BUT, in his tragedy "Julius Caesar,"when the dying Caesar addresses his erstwhile friend Brutus, who has joined the conspiracy to assassinate him, Wm Shakespeare was not showing off; he was correctly applying the vocative case form. The vocative case changes the name of the person who is is being addressed, as in:Et tu, Brute! = Even you, Brutus!This sentence means, 'you too, Brutus?' He was absolutely surprised, when he realized that, his son Brutus took part in the assassinate against him.

How did Augustus come a emperor?

<p><p> Basically, the assassination of Julius Caesar caused it. Octavian (young Augustus) was the official heir of Julius Caesar but he had a lot of enemies who wanted to defeat him (Marcus Antonius being one of them). He won the Battle of Actium against Marcus Antonius and returned to Rome as a triumphant. He'd observed Julius Caesar and what caused his assassination, so he knew that he had to go slow and keep the Roman traditions because that was what Julius Caesar did not do. He did not declare himself as an emperor as soon as he got the power, he waited for the right time although he had the complete power long before he declared himself as an emperor, but with different titles. People trusted him and he made Senate know that Rome needed him. When he became the emperor, Romans were truly happy about it.
