In ancient Rome 44 BCE, Rome was ruled by a powerful group of 3 leaders called the triumvirate with Julius Caesar being one of them, which is another reason for his jealous-filled murdered death. Caesar had the chance to listen to the warnings he got which could help him avoid his death, but he still died in the end despite being warned. The Soothsayer was the one who gave the final warning. I chose to write about the Soothsayer since he is ignored at times and is underrated. The soothsayer (“sooth” meaning “truth”) has an essential role in being a spiritual character who can predict the future. Some qualities from him are being loyal, caring, spiritual, and truthful. The Soothsayer predicted the deathly truth of Julius Caesar with his …show more content…
He trusts himself enough to know he is not lying so he shares what is going on with other people. Caesar thought of believing the warning at first but then proceeded to ignore it, talking about how the Soothsayer is just a “dreamer” while moving on. The reason why the Soothsayer is concerned about him not listening is because Caesar was to be made king yet people were trying to take that away from him including his “friends”. Soothsayer was concerned about people when he could have just ignored them, which shows true kindness. The Soothsayer represented being the “wise old man” who tried sharing his thoughts and wisdom with Caesar but decided to ignore that trust just like patterns in other literary art forms. Soothsayers can predict other people's futures and bad omens (death) but it's hard to see their own, implying that he saw Caesar's death but could not see his own so from what goes on, the soothsayer is still alive in the play. At the end of the play with Caesar's death, the Soothsayer isn't surprised that it happened as it was his faith for ignoring the
Antony, one of Caesar's closest friends then enacts revenge on the Conspirators. All of these characters had very unique qualities. Cassius was very manipulative and persuasive. Caesar was drunk on his own power and showed no fear. Antony showed loyalty, but it was blind loyalty.

In the book, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the author uses a literary technique for shadowing to give the reader a sense of how people feel about Caesar.

We get a sense of Caesar's character when he decides if he will listen or ignore the warnings.
Through the play Caesar is a liked person and the people of the town wanted him to be crowned king. He is a person who is trusts his friends and that ends up back firing. In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Caesar portrays a tragic flaw, a realization, and moral ambiguity, which makes him the most tragic character. A tragic flaw that Caesar has is that he is very easily manipulated.

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare Brutus and the conspirators assassinate Caesar and convince the citizens of Rome that they were in the right. Antony disagrees with their actions and decides to avenge Caesar at his funeral. In his persuasive speech to the crowd of Romans, Antony utilizes pathos, ethos, and logos to argue that the conspirators’ assassination of Caesar was unwarranted. Doing so forces his audience to transform from mourners into an angry mob of rioters.

He told his wife, “Cowards die many times before their deaths, / but the valiant taste of death but once. / … /It seems to me most strange that men should fear/ Seeing that death…/ Will come when it will come,” (2.2.34-39). This statement by Caesar emphasizes his view on fate. Shakespeare shows that if death is predetermined, and death is nigh, why would someone live in fear. He tells the reader that fate is what shapes life.

These flaws, while intertwined with his charisma and ambition, ultimately prove to be his undoing, casting a shadow over his remarkable accomplishments and leaving a lasting legacy as a cautionary tale of the perils that come with unchecked power. Julius Caesar, the renowned Roman and statesman,
Due to Caesar’s ignorance to all the warnings coming to him, if he would have just listened to one, he wouldn't have been killed. Caesar had also become cocky about it in a way, for example when Caesar saw the Soothsayer who tried to warn him, Caesar told him, “The Ides of March are come” (1238). Because of his ignorance, Caesar was killed that day. Due to the reader knowing about the conspiracy and all the attempts to warn Caesar, it's hard for the audience to have shock or feel sad about Caesar's passing. Caesar’s death seems to be more of a plot point to progress Brutus’ story line and show how willing he is to save his

Out of all the warnings he has received, the ones he truly felt were true were Calpurnia’s dream and the discovery of the beast without a heart. Another reason why caesar didn’t take the warnings seriously, although everyone loyal to him did is his arrogance. Caesar was very arrogant and this is shown through the way he speaks, which is always in the third person. Caesar’s ignorance and Caesar’s arrogance were the leading causes of his demise.

In public, Caesar was the leader Rome had always wished for, a strong, valliant man that would let nothing in his way. Consequently, Caesar had a more vulnerable side to him where the reader would be able to see glimpses of throughout the play. Still, Caesar allowed his public self image to take priority in which would eventually lead to his death. Speaking historically, the great Julius Caesar was a people’s leader with a deep hunger for power in which he would do anything to
In Act II Caesar’s fate seemed most obvious to him and the reader. However, Caesar used his free will to ignore his destiny, which fate presented.
