Julius Caesar

It's not that special, but it does have some features of interest.

1. Mark Antony makes a very well-known and famous speech commencing with "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!"

2. Other lines, such as "it was Greek to me", or "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" are also pretty famous.

3. Julius Caesar is a well-known guy, and this is the most famous literary treatment of his life and death.

4. It is often chosen for study in schools because it has the fewest dirty jokes or references to sex in it of any of Shakespeare's plays. Its dulness in this respect is partially redeemed by the onstage murder and suicides.

5. It is a political argument for dictatorship, against the use of revolution, against the value of the popular will in politics. Col. Gaddafi would love the message of this play. Naturally it was particularly popular in Victorian England and postwar America.

Its use as a school text, its classical subject and its political content have given it a notoriety greater than other plays by Shakespeare and others which are better.

Antony proves strong in the ways that Brutus proves weak.His impulsive nature serves him perfectly,first to persuade the conspirators he is on their side, gaining their mercy, then to persuade the citizens of the conspirators'injustice, gaining their support. Not too scrupulous to stoop to deceit and duplicity, as Brutus claims to be, Antony proves himself an ideal politician, using gestures and skilled rhetoric to his advantage. He knows how to act with each side to know how to gain the most advantage.

Yes! He was actually born with no pupils!!

Certain members of the senate plotted to kill Julius Caesar because he had amassed oo much power. By accepting the title of perpetual dictator, Caesar became too much like the hated kings.

Pompey, a member of the first triumvirate, was killed in Egypt.

Brutus was the son of Caesar's long time mistress, Servillia. He was also the recipient of Caesar's clemency after the battle of Pharsalas as Brutus had fought on the side of Pompey against Caesar. Because of this clemency, Brutus was honor bound to either be a supporter of Caesar or to remain neutral. This made his participation in Caesar's assassination so much more appalling.

If you mean Julius Caesar, the second triumvirate was in power after coming to an agreement to punish Caesar's killers.

that he was a strong man and the curse that portia found out about wasn't true.

The phrase 'Veni, vidi, vinci' contains a misspelling. The correct phrase is 'Veni, vidi, vici', which means 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. The first recorded instance of the statement is by Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.]. The sentence is part of his message to the Roman Senate about his victorious battle against Pharnaces II [d. 47 B.C.] of Pontus, at Zela, in modern-day Turkey. Caesar's statement is recorded in 'Parallel Lives' by Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus ka Plutarch [c. A.D. 46-120], and in 'Life of the 12 Caesars' by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus ka Suetonius [c. 69/75-after 130].

His full name was Publius Servilius Casca, but we do not know when he was born.

Rome's first emperor was not chosen, he earned the job buy winning the civil war between himself and Antony. This happened in 31 BC after the battle of Actium. The republican form of government had collapsed and there was actually no other alternative than a one man rule.

Antony tells them he has Caesar's Will and the crowd wants Antony to read it.

Most likely there would be many casulties however as Genghis khan proved in his battles against the chin large slow moving armies where no match fo his cavalry and so i think most likely Genghis khan would win in a battle however in a war Julius Caesar would win easily

Decius Brutus, one of the conspirators. Not to be confused with the play's largest role, Marcus Brutus.

The Julian calendar introduced by Julius Caesar had 365 days per year and 366 EVERY 4 years. This had allowed the calendar to creep out of line with the seasons. The Gregorian calendar we use now has the leap year rule: Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100; the centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year; the year 2000 was a leap year.

durin the elezibathien period the flght of falcons{high flying birds} was common.

here Caesar is compared to a falcon. the falcon has feathers which when removed from it , it flies at ordinary height. in the same way removing the trophies of Caesar was compared to removing the feathers of the falcon due to which he will fly at ordinary flight and will not consider himself as god.

Yes Gaius Julius Caesar was Augustus (Octavianus) Ceasar's great uncle. Caesar's will at the time of his assassination named Octavianus as his legal and spiritual successor.

bc of brutus absence and Antony and octavius taking control of rome

Letter from Artemidorus

Portia dies by swallowing fire, or as we would say burning coal. Brutus reacts to her death is sorrow, but in calm sorrow - without weeping and such. He simply accepts her death and moves on. Cassius is shocked and cannot stop thinking about Portia.

a man who thinks too much

She is the daughter of Marcus Porcius Cato, and more importantly for the play, she is Mrs. Brutus.
