Julius Caesar

Cassius persuades his friend Brutus, also the friend of Julius Caesar, that Caesar is a threat to Rome. Appealing to his deep love of his homeland, Brutus is persuaded that Caesar is a danger to his country as well as himself. This ultimately leads to the plot to murder Caesar.

Brutus held great respect for Antony, despite Antony's friendship with Ceaser. Antony openly decieved Caeser in Act 3, but following this, he begins to respect Brutus and once finding Brutus's body, he calls him "The nobelest roman of all."

In the beginning of the play, Brutus is trusted by Caesar, and they have a filial sort of relationship. But Brutus plays a large role in Caesar's assassination. Caesar's dying words are, "Et tu, Brute?" (you too, Brutus?) because he can hardly believe that someone he loved and was close to would murder him. Brutus reasons, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more." He thinks that killing Caesar was for the greater good, and if you've read the play, you would realize that Brutus's fatal flaw is his nobility. He overthinks everything, always searching for the noble, honorable, "right" thing to do. It was also mentioned that perhaps Brutus was truly Caesar's son, of an affair. At Brutus's funeral oration, Antony says Brutus was "Caesar's angel," although it is never blatantly explained why Caesar trusts and loves Brutus so much, then is betrayed. Although Brutus's honor to Caesar is strong in the beginning, it wavers enough for him to take part in Caesar's murder, but then he sees the effects because of it. By the end of the play, Brutus sees that Rome in the hands of Antony, Octavius, etc is worse than it would have been under Caesar's ruling, and Brutus commits suicide. Note that this question does not have anything to do with the question. The question entails the relationship between BRUTUS and CASSIUS, while this answer is telling the relationship between Brutus and Caeser.

Yes, it's one of his later plays, called Romances. It has an incredibly complex plot, a number of good song lyrics and a surprise appearance by the god Jupiter.

The plot, as easily as I can tell it in a short space, goes something like this: Cymbeline, king of Britain in Roman times, has taken a second wife. By his first marriage he had two sons (which were kidnapped and have disappeared) and a daughter Imogen; by his second, he has a stepson Cloten. The Queen wants Imogen to marry Cloten; instead she marries a man called Postumus. The king is incensed and banishes Postumus to Italy, where he takes a bet from a man called Iachimo that Iachimo cannot seduce Imogen. Iachimo goes to Britain and tries seduction and when that doesn't work, spies on Imogen when she's asleep and learns some things about her body that nobody but her husband should know.

Postumus sends a servant to tell Imogen that Postumus is waiting for her in Wales. The servant is supposed to kill her on the road, but doesn't, and she flees to the protection of some Welsh hillbillies disguised as a boy (a favourite angle in Shakespeare's plots). The hillbillies kill Cloten who is searching for Imogen disguised as Postumus and throw out his head. Imogen comes across the body and thinks it's Postumus with even less brain than usual.

Cymbeline, meanwhile, has been persuaded by the Queen and Cloten to antagonize the Romans who invade, with Iachimo and Postumus serving in the invading army. Imogen (still disguised) attaches herself to the Roman commander as a page. Postumus deserts and switches sides and he and the hillbillies win the battle for Britain. After the battle, in a long scene, everyone reveals their secrets and they all live happily ever after except the Queen who has died upon hearing that Cloten was beheaded.

That's the gist. I said it was complex.

Although many modern cultures recall a "deer" as a imagetic of "gay man", a deer (more often written, as "stag") was, and still is a simbol of power, its horns simbolizing a crown, it moves gracefully. The way it solves many matters (fighting by clashes of head, usually breaking a horn or two) simbolizes the so called "manly way" of doing things work.

All said, a deer is usually simbol of vilrile and noble man.

P.S.: Sorry about my lame English, still studying. ^^

Act 2 Scene 1 lines 311-313You are my true and honorable wife, as dear to me as are the ruddy drops that visit my sad heart- Portia is like Brutus' heart because she is so honest and such a great person. He truly loves and cares for her.

Athens and Sparta both had very efficient fighting forces and and were the two powerhouse cities in Greece.

he was alive on July 13, 100 b.c and died on march 15, 44 b.c because of all the senators that stabbed him 23 times. he tried to take full power and become king, and the senators disagreed and Julius was stabbed 23 times, and some of those senators were once his friends.

act 1

scene 1, line 13.

"A trade sir, that, I hope, may use with a safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles."

The pun is "bad soles." It has a double meaning of 'bad souls.'

"Truly, sir, all that I live by is with awl"

The pun is with the 'awl,' meaning 'all.'

Julius Caesar was killed in the year 44 BC He was stabbed to death and left with 37 wounds.Brutus, Cassius, Ligarious, Metallus, Casca, Trebonius and Cinna killed him.

Cassius did

In their long conversation which forms the bulk of Act I Scene 2 Cassius attempts to convince Brutus that Caesar is a threat to the traditional values of the Roman Republic.

Cassius' main argument is simply that Caesar is an ordinary man:

I had as lief not be as live to be

In awe of such a thing as I myself.

Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar sweats when he is ill, and that he does not swim as strongly as a younger man:- but the common people of Rome love him (and this is somehow dangerous):

And this man

Is now become a God, and Cassius is

A wretched creature.

None of the conspirators in the play have any substantial objection to Caesar, and Cassius is simply eaten up with envy. Caesar knows this, he says:

Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look;

He thinks too much, such men are dangerous.

But Caesar is too proud to act on his suspicions. This is his weakness.

In the tragedy of Julius Caesar, Portia is the wife of Brutus, the idealist conspirator and main character of the story.

Unless the term is used in a technical sense (whereby the "Climax" of a Shakespearean play is always whatever happens in Act 3), the climax of a story is generally the point where everyone's plans reach their fruition and either succeed or fail. In Hamlet, it is when Hamlet actually takes his revenge in Act 5. In Julius Caesar and Macbeth there is an early climax when the murderers complete their murders in Act 3 in Caesar and Act 2 in Macbeth. In Macbeth, his struggle to hold on to his kingdom leads to a further climax when he meets MacDuff in Act 5. In Caesar there is no similar further climax; the conspirators' hope of a joyous revival of the Republic is quickly dashed by Antony and the mob and their revolution fizzles out.

it is a list of conspirators that conspired to kill caesar.

Eagles falling at the end-eagles symbolize power and the eagles falling to the ground from above is symbolic of a leader falling from power Blood-blood is symbolic all throughout the play especially in Calpurnias dream

A whole pile of people (most notably Brutus and Cassius) commit suicide.

Et Tu Brute? Then Fall Caesar!

These are the last words he spoke before he died. Et Tu Brute means and you Brutus because Caesar thought Brutus was his friend.

The underlying message is betraying your friends/ stabbing them in the back.

Mark Antony was one of the most important supporters of Julius Caesar and a relative of his.

Cassius had his own selfish motives to kill Julius Caesar and did not have Roman welfare on his mind. He had quoted an incident in Scene 1 where by he tells about his upperhand on Julius Caesar. He tells that once Caesar challenged him to swim across storming Tiber. Cassius, in an instant, jumped in the waters bading with his lusty sinews. But, Caesar himself could not swim and was helped by Cassius to reach the bank. Now, Cassius bears this grudge that such chicken-hearted Caesar should rule over Rome and doth not pay attention to his friends. He thinks that such a man is not wotrhy at all. Furthermore, Caesar's negligence and rudeness unto him makes him feel angry towards Caesar so much so that he was bent over killing Julius Caesar.

Antony and Octavius set up camp in Philippi.
