Was Portia pregnant in the play Julius Caesar?

It's not clear from the script. But that might be a good directorial choice--it would make her suicide even more horrific and her pleas to be let in on what is going on even more poignant.

What do the augurers tell Caesar?

Augurers are people who foretell the future by examining the internal organs of slaughtered birds and animals. (I know it's disgusting but these are Romans we're talking about here.) In Shakespeare's play Caesar asks what the augurers have to say. A servant tells him this:

"They would not have you stir forth today. Plucking the entrails of an offering forth, they could not find a heart within the beast."

When did shakespeare write the following plays Romeo and Juliet Julius Caesar Macbeth and Hamlet?

The chronology of Shakespeare's plays is not entirely guesswork. Where a play is published or known to have been performed, we know that it was written before that date. If a play seems to refer to a historical event or matter of topical interest, we know that it was written after that event. Also, a man called Francis Meres wrote a (nearly) complete list of Shakespeare's plays in 1598--plays he didn't mention probably came later.

Romeo and Juliet was first published in 1597, so was written before that. Scholars think about 1595 or 1596.

Julius Caesar was one of the first plays performed at the Globe Theatre. A man called Thomas Platter saw it in September 1599 but it is not on Meres's list. Probably written in 1599 then.

Macbeth appears to refer to the Gunpowder Plot of November 1605. It was first known to be performed in 1611 when a man called Simon Forman went to see it but was probably written when the Gunpowder Plot was still news, around 1606.

Hamlet was first published in 1603 and was registered for publication in 1602. The reference to child acting companies seems to be topical for events in 1601, which is a likely date for its composition.

How many times was Banquo stabbed?

Why did they wash there hand in Caesar blood after they killed them?

The Conspirators washed their hands in Caesars blood because they thought they would be remembered for it. Also in the Bible when there was a death of an innocent man, Jesus, Pontius Pilate washed his hands in water- to show his innocence. These men were showing anything but innocence, they wanted everyone to know that they killed Caesar because they though people would love them for it. Do you also remember when Brutus was conversing with the other conspirators about not being butchers but sacrificers? And do you think sacrificers would wash their hands in his blood? No. These men became bloodthirsty butchers.

Was Mark Antony manipulative in Julius Caesar?

yea he was VERY manipulative

- manipulated Brutus' thoughts at first by showing his love to Caesar and to made Brutus felt that he was a noble man and should be allowed to speak in the public to praise Caesar. "If I myself, there is no hour fit as Caesar's death hour"

- did not give a chance for Cassius to oppose the idea of allowing him to speak at the funeral as he put words into his mouth. "The enemies of Caesar shall say this; Then, in a friend, it is cold modesty.

- he manipulated the crowd through his speech. he changed the crowd from the conspirators' supporters into Caesar's supporters, and successfully used the plebeians as his tools to kill the conspirators.

In the speech he started off by "Friends, Roman, Countrymen" which was personal and inclusive as it caught the crowd's attention. His whole speech was in verse to lift the crowd to his level which shows that he respects them. He added some phrases to emphasize that he did not want to oppose the commoners, for example "noble Brutus" and "for Brutus' sake" which made the commoners felt like he was allying with them thus listened to his speech instead of "throwing him off stage". He also used a repetition of the words "Caesar" to put the main theme into the plebeians' heads. He also showed respect to the plebeians as he let them to decide whether they wanted him to descend or to read the will which set the scene.

He confused the commoners' thoughts towards Caesar as he brought out many evidences to prove that Caesar was not ambitious. He used phrases like "If it were so" to show that he as well doubted what Brutus said in his speech. He used many rhetorical flourish and persuasive skills to manipulate their thoughts, for example by saying "Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept." However he counters all the evidence by saying "And Brutus is an honourable man". He also manipulated their thought by playing on their guilt. He said "You all did love him once, not without cause; What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?"

"If you have tears, shed them now"- builds tension

He successfully stirred up the crowd, built up their rage and highlighted that in order to take revenge for Caesar, the conspirators must be killed. (also made good use of sibilant and alliteration. He also emphasized that Caesar was not defeated but gave in when he saw his friend was one of them who planned to kill him, which immediately made the crowd think that Brutus is not noble but is a traitor as Antony referred to the act as treason.

....blah blah blah........

- he realised that he cannot receive as much power as what Caesar had so he decided to manipulated Octavius (who was the great nephew of Caesar) and Lepidus ...

Julius Ceasar fought for the lower class people. Fought to get them work and his politics were straight for the proletariat. So according to that we could say he was a socialist leader of a form.

Who made the roman curia?

The term Roman Curia usually refers to the administrative apparatus of the Catholic Church. The name Curia comes from the institutions of ancient Rome. The Roman curia intended as the administrative apparatus of the Catholic Church was the product of evolution, rather than a creation by someone. Right from the early days the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) was assisted by a college of priests to run his diocese. This was expanded into a College of Cardinals which administered the Catholic Church as a whole, rather than just the diocese of Rome. The consistories (formal meeting of the Sacred College of Cardinals) became more and more frequent. Innocent III (1198-1216) held consistories three times a week. Specialised committees of cardinals were also established. They started with temporary mandates and then became permanent bodies and the College of Cardinals became more of a bureaucratic body. The term Curia first appeared in a papal document in 1089, under Urban II (1088-1099).

In ancient Rome there were two types of curia. One was an administrative division and an assembly. The other was the senate house.

The curiae (plural of curia) were administrative divisions created by Romulus, the founder of Rome and its first king. He divided Rome into three administrative divisions, the tribes which were subdivided into 10 curiae, giving a total of 30. Each curia provided 100 soldiers to make up an army of 3,000. To decide on the succession of Romulus, the Assembly of the Curiae (comitia curiata) was created. It elected new kings. It is often translated into assembly of the people. Whilst this translation reflects the fact that the people elected the king through this body, assembly of the constituencies would be more accurate. Each curia was like a constituency. It met to vote separately from the other curiae and the vote of a single curia counted as one vote. The final decision was reached through a majority of the votes of all the curiae. It is not clear whether this assembly voted on other matters, besides electing the king.

The role of the comitia curiata changed when the fifth king of Rome, Servius Tullius (reigned 578 - 535 BC) created two new assemblies: the Assembly of the Soldiers and the Assembly of the Tribes. The latter was composed of 35 tribes which were administrative divisions, not ethnic ones, which included the areas which Rome had conquered around Latium (land of the Latins) and aimed at integrating their peoples into the Roman state. The functions of these two new assemblies during the monarchy (753-509 BC) are not known. It is known that the curiae lost its role of recruiting soldiers, which was taken over by the state. It is also known that in the Republic (590-27 BC) other assemblies took over the roles of the Comitia Curiata and that the latter decayed.

The curia as a senate house started with the third king, Tullius Hostilius (reigned 673 BC - 642 BC) who built the first one. Prior to this the senators met outdoors. This building was named Curia Hostilia. This building was demolished by Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 80 BC to build a larger one because he doubled the number of senators. The new building was named Curia Cornelia. Julius Caesar started the construction of a new senate house because he increased the number of senators by one third. This work was completed by Augustus in 29 BC. It was named Curia Julia and it is still standing in the Roman Forum.

Why Caesar distrust Cassius?

BBecause Cassius talks too much and is too eager to please.

What could have Caesar done to show his enemies that he wasn't abusing his power?

He should have been fair and not cruel to the people

He could have resigned or at least not accepted the flood of honors given to him. He also could have had more respect for the senate, even though he didn't agree with them. The Romans put a lot of value on public or outward appearances, and Caesar by the simple act of not rising to greet the senators when they were coming to present him with yet another honor, deeply insulted them by his arrogance.
