How is Caesars power indicated in the scene?
By the march of his great victory over Pompey and all of his towns people crowding around to see.
Who was the last person Caesar spoke to before he died?
We don't know who Caesar spoke to last. Shakespeare said he spoke to Brutus, but the ancient writers claim that he fell silent and covered his head. A good guess is that he spoke to one of the conspirators who pretended to hand him a petition.
Why did Caesar decided to march against the Gauls?
Caesar fought the Gauls and conquered Gaul for his personal glory and political prestige and to raise money through the spoils of war to pay off his debts.
What was the speech of Marcus Brutus?
Julius Caesar Act III Scene 2
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:-
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his
fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
Why does Caesar believe Cassius is dangerous?
"Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."
What do the apparition and Brutus's actions reveal about his state of mind?
Brutus when saw the ghost of Julius Caesar was actually in a state of complicated mental shock and apprehension. Its because he knew in his mind that no matter what the other conspirators have told him (against Caesar) to bring him in their group, he should have given it a rational and un-biased thought. The following actions he took especially the one when he stabbed the heart of Caesar;he knew from his conscience that he wasn't completely right.
There was something wrong he was doing, as if his mind was in 2 parts : on 1 hand his love for the Rome and on the other hand his friend - Caesar.
But the conspirators specially Cassius played very delicately in moulding Brutus' fickle mind against his friend.
Often when we do something bad, which our conscience tells us, though we don't believe them, comes in front of us in some frame of reference. In this case Brutus saw the apparition of Caesar because he knew that he did wrong to him. Caesar 's appearance some what adds to the taste of the drama.
Shakespeare have mostly mentioned the ghosts in his other dramas specially when he wants to bring out the irony of any grief-stricken situation like in Macbeth too.
What are some negative aspects of Tiberius as Roman Emperor?
Tiberius was an interesting emperor as he had a lot of problems, both personal and political. His personality was his biggest negative aspect. He was a dour old sourpuss, but perhaps events in his life made him that way. He abandoned Rome and left the day to day running of the empire to a subordinate, Sejanus, who was a power hungry tyrant. When Tiberius was made aware of this, he instigated what is described as a "reign of terror" against all of Sejanus' followers.
