Julius Caesar

Yes, Antony's soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 1 beginning with the words "O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth."

He felt that Cassius was dangerous

"The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones."

But I think it's not a quote by Caesar, it's part of Mark Anthony's speech at Caesar's funeral.

give Caesar a letter to warn him about the sonspirators plan

someone please answer the ouestion i dont no wat it is i wanted to no sorry :(

There are hardly any blemishes to be found in Marcus Aurelius. He was one of the five good emperors, was engaged in wars every year of his reign in the Parthian War (against the persians 161-66) and the Marcomannic Wars (166-180), was a stoic philosopher, and dealt with theory and practice of law, particularly in laws regarding the guardianship of orphans and minors and the manumission of slaves. He was highly praised and posterity saw him as a philosopher king.

Herodian wrote: "Alone of the emperors, he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life." In the Justinian Code he was described as "a most prudent and conscientiously just emperor and "an emperor most skilled in the law." The Christian writers praised him. Melitus said that he was more philanthropic and philosophic than his two predecessors who also were among the five good emperors.

Marcus Aurelius biggest mistake was to designate his son Commodus as his successor. He turned out to be one of the worst emperors.

Antony, in his funeral oration for Caesar, repeated the phrase, "Brutus said he (meaning Caesar) was ambitious and Brutus is an honorable man," in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

his wife :)

He's talking about how historical events get dramatised. The "lofty scene", the historical event they are witnessing, will be "acted over", portrayed as part of a play "many ages hence", or a long time from now. The play will be performed in a country that didn't exist when the historical events took place, and in a language that didn't exist either.

The irony is that the line itself comes as part of a play portraying the historical event many ages after it happened, and performed in a country and a language that did not exist when the events took place.

There is an even deeper irony if you see this line delivered in a performance in the USA, a state unborn when Shakespeare wrote this line and in an accent (although not in a language) unknown to him.

The sentators feared he was getting to obsessed with his own importance.

The senators were jealous of his powers.

He wanted to become king, some said.

If he became king, this meant the end of the republic

Caesars sole or ghost

Not a character in the play, but a topic of discussion. Historically, Julius Caesar defeated his rival Pompey and his sons in a series of civil wars before becoming sole dictator of Rome. The play starts just after the last of these battles. The common people are celebrating the victory, but the tribunes remind them that this was a defeat of Romans and great Romans at that. "Knew you not Pompey?" reminds them of that fact.

Brutus and Portia's marriage appears to be based on mutual respect and love. Portia is not afraid to stand up to Brutus and demand that he treat her as a "woman well reputed." She desires to share his secrets and his worries, and she is even willing to wound herself to show her bravery. When she slashes her thigh, she is showing that she will not reveal Brutus' secrets even under pain of torture. Brutus sees how determined Portia is to prove that she is "stronger than her sex," and he rewards this sentiment with loving respect. Portia's argument with Brutus can be contrasted with Caesar's argument with Calpurnia. Caesar is far more authoritarian, and seems not to care that he is humiliating Calpurnia and causing her a great deal anguish in refusing to heed her advice regarding his meeting with the Senate.

It was tense. In 1588, when Shakespeare was 24, the English narrowly escaped being invaded by the Spanish Armada and a Spanish army from the Netherlands. In the 1590s, when he was writing some of his most joyful plays, there was concern that the death of the childless Queen Elizabeth would lead to civil war between various contenders for the throne. Indeed the hotheaded Earl of Essex attempted to seize the throne and the Chamberlain's Men were implicated (but thankfully exonerated). However, the transition to the reign of King James occured without incident.

Religion and politics were as intertwined in the seventeenth century as they had been in the sixteenth. Throughout Shakespeare's life, the law required that everyone must belong to the Church of England and worship at its churches. The extreme Protestants and the Catholics were persecuted. During Shakespeare's lifetime the Catholics were thought to be the greater threat, as the war with Spain was partially motivated by the desire to place a Catholic Queen on the throne, and in 1605 Guy Fawkes and other Catholic conspirators planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament to achieve their ends. (Shakespeare's play Macbeth reflects this current event). The voyage of the Mayflower and the founding of the Plymouth colony only four years after Shakespeare died reflect the growing movement of extreme Protestantism which would in time prove even more dangerous than the Catholics.

Noble Romans as Flavius and Cassius feared that if Caesar will come to power, he will assume dictatorial powers and keep all Romans under 'servile fearfulness'. They were well aware of Caesar's nature which was like an 'adder' who was bound to harm people once he came to power. They thought that if Caesar succeeded in getting the crown, he would get the powers to dictate his terms on the general people who were so fickle-minded that they were easily influenced by anyone in power. This would lead to complete downfall of Rome and its people.

No, you're thinking about Macbeth.

There are 5 acts in Julius Caesar. "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" is a play-specifically, a tragedy-written by Shakespeare, which portrays the conspiracy against Roman dictator Julius Caesar and his ultimate defeat at the Battle of Phillipi.

By crossing the Rubicon, Caesar led his army into Italy thus causing civil war.

Brutus is arguing with himself about assasinating Caesar. He argues that if Caesar is given greater power (by being crowned) he might get all arrogant and tyrranical. Of course, he argues against himself, Caesar has never abused his power before "I have not known when his affections sway'd More than his reason", but who knows? "So Caesar may, and lest he may, prevent."

Brutus is arguing for a preemptive strike here. This like every other preemptive strike in the history of the world is immoral and evil. By allowing himself to buy this argument, he sets the stage for his own downfall.

William Shakespeare. I suggest you look at cover of the book that you're reading this in...

Mark Antony - Senator and associate of Ceasar

Caesar is an ancient Roman cognomen or "last name". It connotes "hairy" or "fine head of hair". It more than likely originated in the prehistory of Rome when people were called after a physical characteristic and then was handed down as a surname.
