What qualities in Cassius does Caesar describe to Antony in scene 2?
"Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."
What is the climax of Julius Caesar?
Although many would claim that the clamatic scene is when the titale character gets knifed, my personal opinion is that it comes much later. Julius Caesar is actually much more about Brutus; some critics have even suggested that Brutus was an early version of Hamlet.
In any case, the play deals largely with Brutus's downfall. His part in the regicide is inspired by a desire to help his people avoid tyranny, and yet after Caesar's death, he is driven out of Rome and the very people he sought to help want his blood. In addition, he must cope with the guilt he feels at killing his friend. He must also try to stick with Cassius, despite the fact that he now sees the manipulation Cassius has used upon him, because alone the two armies will definitely fall.
So in my opinion, the climax comes with Brutus 'honorable' death at the end of the play, when he takes the only course he can see remaining out of his predicament.
Why did Caesar give back cleopatras throne?
The answer to your question can be a single word--money. To understand this you need a little background. Cleo's father was kicked off the throne by the Alexandrians and replaced by his daughter, Berenice. He wanted the throne back and went to Rome for assistance. In order to get the help he needed he had to borrow big time. His dept was huge and the Roman money lenders, who were getting little return on their loan, sold the loan to Caesar and Pompey. After Pompey was murdered, the entire dept was in Caesar's lap and Caesar wanted to call it in. Cleo's brother was an out and out enemy of Caesar, so Caesar backed Cleopatra and established her on the throne with the agreement that she repay him half of Egypt's debt, which was what she owed him personally. (the other half was put up by Pompey and didn't concern Caesar). The only way that Cleopatra could repay him was to have access to Egypt's wealth as a queen.
No, Brutus was drawn into the conspiracy because he was an idealist. He genuinely felt that Caesar was holding too much power and that the republic would be better without him. He also thought that the general public would be grateful to the conspirators for ridding them of Caesar, so little did he know about the reality of matters.

How does Antony turn the mob in favor of dead Caesar without offending the conspirators?
He did not try not to offend the conspirators. During Caesar's funeral, Antony made accusations against them and named and shamed them. He also read Caesar's will which left most of his property to the people. The people became enraged and rioted. Caesar had been very popular with the middle and lower classes. He was seen as the champion of the people.
Brutus' fear of what Caesar may become is justified?
Undoubtedly. Caesar was already Dictator for life which is as close to king as you can come without having the title and regalia. He had already made the pattern for the future Imperator, his nephew Augustus, who would destroy the Republic (but not its forms) for ever.

What is play 'Julius Caesar' by William Shakespeare about?
Julius Caesar by shakespeare is a drama more or less based on the life of roman ruler Julius Caesar...it's all about how he, a very capable ruler, is assassinated coz many other 'noble' Romans feel that he is a dictator, and that they shall be opressed under him.
ultimately, Caesar is assassinated, but this proves to be disastrous for rome.
it also highlights the fact that ppl should not be easily swayed by what others say, (the trusting kind) neither should they be too practical and contriving.
the whole play is very interesting, esp. act 3, in which Caesar is killed and his friend Antony makes some truly awesome speeches. it is one of the best tragedies ever written.
What year did Brutus kill Caesar?
Julius Caesar was attacked by the Senate and the final death blow was delivered from his mistress' son, Brutus.
Julius Caesar was killed on the Ides Of March (March 15th) 44 BC.
What does the 'Ides of Mars' mean?
The 'Ides' referred to the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October in the Roman calendar. The month of Marchwas named after Mars, the god of war. And so the 15th day was considered a festive time to dedicate activities in his honor. For example, a military parade was often held.
Perhaps the most famous historic occurrence on that day was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.]. According to revered Greek historian and biographer Plutarch, Caesar was warned prior to the 15th by a seer to "Beware the Ides of March." Moments before his death Caesar mocked the seer saying, "Well, the Ides are come." to which the seer replied "Aye, they are come, but they are not gone." William Shakespeare [baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wrote a play on the event.
What did Julius Caesar boast in Latin after defeating Pharnaces in 47 BC?
In English, it translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered".

This he did in 47 at Zela, a victory which he announced with his famous boast, veni, vidi, vici, 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. For additional info on Gaius Julius Caesar, refer to the link below:
