What Are The Similarities Between Mean Girls And Julius Caesar

By telling this story, Cassius makes a contrast between the towering, all-powerful figure Caesar claims himself to be and the reality: he is a mortal man with physical handicaps and sickness. By pointing out that he was stronger than Caesar, and yet has to worship him like a god, Cassius points out the unfairness by which Caesar came to power. and exposes the foolishness in Caesar's claims. By using pathos, Cassius also appeals to Brutus' dislike for a monarchy by pointing out that no man, especially Caesar, should have the power to rule all of Rome. Cassius expands on this point by telling another story about a time when Caesar was sick in bed, saying, "I did hear him groan.

William Shakespeare is known for his creativity being expressed by writing plays and poems. Many of his plays throughout time have been made into epic movies. When Shakespeare’s plays are recreated there are usually changes made within the scenes. Sometimes the changes would be made to the language for the movie to adapt to modern times.

“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall” by William Shakespeare. Both “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar '' written by Shakespeare and “Mean Girls” written by Tina Fey contain rising to power. It shows how much power one person can truly have on others. Nobody can rise to power without the help of others. Julius Caesar and Regina George have way more power over everyone they were around, and Brutus and Cady had help while they were rising to power to take down their protagonists.

Moreover, Cassius points out the unfairness in the world through a metaphor juxtaposing Caesar as a god while Cassius is merely “ a wretched creature that must bend his body.” Finally, he concludes the monologue with the disbelief that “such a feeble [man] should get the start of the majestic world / And bear the palm alone,” which highlights how an ordinary person, Caesar, should not wield absolute

In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Cassius is a foil to Marcus Brutus, for Brutus is consistently described as honorable and kind, contrasting the always clever and self-centered, Cassius. Cassius acts as a character who goes against the virtues and weaknesses of the main character. Brutus announces, “Why man, he doth bestride the narrow World like a Colossus, and we pretty men Walk under his huge legs and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves” (Shakespeare I. 2. 142-145). By appealing to Brutus' feeling of honor and loyalty to Rome, Cassius hopes to persuade him to join the conspiracy against Caesar.

The main character Cady from Mean Girls is very similar to Brutus. Cady backstabbed Regina George in Mean Girls. In Julius Caesar, Brutus was a part of the killing of Julius Caesar. Both of these characters relate to each other because they both pretended to be someone's friends to backstab them. Another reason these two characters are similar is because Cady tried to get everyone to turn on Regina and at the end of the movie everyone started to turn on her and hate her.

Julius Caesar and the movie Mean Girls was very much alike in various ways. For example, Regina is just like Caesar and is like a leader of the school just like Caesar is a leader to his people. Eventually their people turned against them both, which is quite an interesting story. I don’t know really where to begin, but I’ll tell you about the conflicts and resolutions of each story.

Be patient until I 'm finished. Romans, countrymen, and dear friends-- listen to my grounds for action, and be quiet so that you can hear me. Believe me because I 'm honorable, and accept me as an honorable and accept me as an honorable man so you 'll believe me. Judge me with all your wisdom, and put all your reasoning powers to work so you can judge me better. If there is any dear friend of Caesar in this crowd, I tell him that Brutus 's love for Caesar was no less than his.

Instead of dressing conservative and like a prude like she originally did, she begins to change the way she dress she begins to become more flashy and inappropriate. She starts new romantic interests in boys, specifically Aaron, who Caty did not know is Regina’s ex-boyfriend but still kind of boyfriend. One of the plastics, Gretchen, explains that Caty can not like or even entertain Aaron because he is Regina’s ex-boyfriend, and Caty disappointingly agrees. However, Caty begins changing more after the news, even more away from the plastics to secretly please and capture Aaron’s attention. She even goes against her character and true self to fail math just so she can seem more “cool” to Aaron, which he does not find as

Through the use of of several rhetorical devices like comparison, pathos, and figurative language, Cassius is able to twist Brutus' sense of honor and view of Caesar. In order to begin twisting Brutus' Caesar, Cassius finds the "virtue...in [Brutus]" and uses that "outward favor" to become " [Brutus'] glass"(I:ii:68-93). Cassius uses figurative language to appeal to Brutus. Cassius finds Brutus's 'virtue' and uses it in order to give Brutus a way to make sure he is doing the right thing.

“Caesar’s rule was a blessing” Within the short story “Killing Caesar” by Jon Herman, there are many facts to prove that Julius Caesar was a true hero for the people in Rome. Caesar did things for Rome that no one else had ever done. Also Caesar was for the people that no one really cared about. To start Caesar gave the people of Rome opportunities they probably would’ve never had if Caesar had not become the king “Caesar created jobs by building roads, temples, and aqueducts” which allowed for the people of Rome to have more money to buy what they needed, not only did this help the businesses but it helped the city become a better place because the things that were messed up before were fixed.

In the Shakespearean play Julius Caesar, there are two relationships displayed. One relationship is that of Calphurnia and the character of which the play is entitled, Caesar. The other relationship represented is of Portia and Brutus. While both relationships are of that of a husband and wife, they are shown as very different couples. In the couples ' dialogues in Act 2, it is revealed that while Portia and Calphurnia both worry about their husbands, Brutus and Caesar appreciate and trust their wives differently.

Within this play, there are many conflicts between feuding families and even individuals. Since societal expectations were so great of both genders, much pent-up frustration for those who did not perfectly conform was frequently released in the form of violence or aggression. It also went the other way around, where those who did not fit all of the standards were shamed and embarrassed for the way they were. Two characters in which the gender traits were partially switched are Romeo and Juliet. In their relationship, Juliet is more dominant, and Romeo is more submissive.

Caesar keeps up a facade throughout his leadership and rarely lets himself show unease. After stating his worry over Cassius, Caesar attempts to rebuild his facade of strength by claiming, “I rather tell
