Julius Caesar

Brutus and the conspirators believed that Julius Caesar was going to become a tyrant and destroy Rome with his dictatorship. Brutus was very honorable and believed that if they killed Caesar they will be remembered as the men who saved Rome from a tyrant and will become the most honorable men in Rome. But after the death of Caesar they were the most hated men in Rome. Brutus was manipulated and persuaded by Cassius' inspirational words about saving Rome and its people that he forgot the real purpose of killing Caesar. Brutus was the only one who wanted to kill Caesar for Rome the rest just wanted to kill him out of sheer jealousy.(All the conspirators thought that he[Caesar] was power hungry and too powerful for his own good.)

Brutus is in a dilemma whether or not to kill Julius Caesar. He was a dear friend of Caesar and was strictly against the autocratic and tyrannical ways of Julius. He wants to save Caesar from the fatal blows of death but also wants to save his countrymen from suffering humiliation at the hands of this remorse forgotten ruler who would grow as dangerous as a poisonous serpent, so he should be killed.

Octavian was Gaius Julius Caesar's nephew and was posthumously adopted by Caesar according to his will. At the time of the elder Caesar's assassination, Octavius was in military training in Apollonia, Illyria.

Julius Caesar was honored by the Roman senate with all sorts of distinguishments. Today they may seem trivial, but to the Romans they were exceptional. Some of the honors were : he could wear his laurel crown all the time, he had an ivory chair when he made a public appearance, he was allowed to ride in a coach in the city, he was made dictator for life.

Brutus realizes Caesar's assassination did not restore the Republic, but had set in motion a series of events creating chaos.

In ancient Rome the Ides of March, March 15 was the day Julius Caesar was assassinated by Roman Senators who feared that Caesar wanted to become a king. So Caesar and his enemies in the senate were involved in the Ides of March.

the cown, the weather, and the dreams calphurnia had.

I think she was afraid of Caesar dying

In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Caesar is murdered in the Senate at the begining of Act III. Caesar's ghost later returns to warn Brutus that he will die at Philippi - a warning that Brutus seems neither surprised, nor much troubled by.

Caesar held the position of Dictator when he was murdered. Usually a man was appointed Dictator for a stated time--just to solve the current crisis and then he gave up the power. However, Caesar was appointed Dictator for life, by a weak, groveling Senate, thus giving the conspirators another one of their many reasons to kill him.

Caesar is plannng to take over rome and turn it into a dictatorship

for being a ruler.

He was killed by the members of his senate. 9 in all, on the ides o fMarch, meaning the 14th.

Essentially it made Brutus feel guilt.

YES not only in battles, but a leader as well.

People were bribing Cassius to become officers in the army, regardless of merit.

Well, here's one:

Brutus is at home, pondering in a soliloquy whether Caesar ought to be murdered. He decides a pre-emptive strike is a good idea. A group of conspirators arrive at Brutus' place and they decide how, when and where they will kill Caesar. Mrs. Brutus (better known as Portia) asks Brutus what's with these parties in the wee hours of the morning, but he doesn't tell her. Another chap shows up, wanting in on the conspiracy.

Caesar is an arrogant person, it's not something you see (or hear) a lot but some really conceited people think they, and their name, are really important and should be said or spoken about often

There have been several movies made based on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and you would have to specify which one you are talking about before it could be compared to the play.

Brutus and Cassius, defeated in battle, kill themselves, and Octavius Caesar continues where Julius Caesar left off--turning Rome from a Republic into an empire.

He was a Roman. At that time, that was a nationality.

Julius Caesar had an affair with Brutus' mother, Servilia. It is possible that Caesar was Brutus' father, but that is disputed by historians.

Here are a few fun facts about Julius Caesar: He was sensitive about his baldness and always wore the crown that the senate awarded him because it held his combed over hair in place. Although he wanted hair on his head, he hated hair on any other part of his body and was depilated often. He was a lousy eater. He had a horse with hoofs that were split into toes. He was in fantastic physical condition as he swam across a wide stretch of the Alexandrian harbor with one arm while holding a pile of documents above his head with the other arm. The term Caesarian section is named after him (he was born by this method) as is the Julian Calendar (he established it) but not the Caesar salad.

Popilius Lena wished good luck to Cassius when they were heading towards the Capitol to kill Julius Caesar.
