    August of 14 A.D. proved a sad time for the Romans; for it was the time when the great leader, Augustus Caesar, passed away. The long lasting peace established by him would however, survive for many years to come. Rome in this time was more politically stable than it would be in future years. The great civil war that the Romans took part in led to the annexation of Egyptian lands and the overall growth of the newly proclaimed empire.…

    While he mostly refrains from this in his account of Julius, he does express more negative opinions on Julius’ character and leadership than he does on that of Augustus. When weighing both their negative and positive attributes, Suetonius finds that Augustus is superior to…

    Yet the genus Caesar does not seem to begin with Julius, but rather with Augustus, who established the system of governance and conduct by which all other Caesar’s are measured. Suetonius’ use of themes invites comparison between each life, creating in some ways a more direct comparison than a linear account. Suetonius depicts not only the public achievements of his Caesars, but also their private life commenting on appearance and family. However, Edwards argues Romans felt the personal life of their leaders was a public concern, as public figures acted as exempla for the populace on how to live their own lives. Julius’ ostentatious dress sense, is therefore contrasted to the description of the simplicity of Augustus’ home.…

    The reverse of natural order is also shown when Gloucester rejects his legitimate son Edgar much to the benefit of his illegitimate son Edmund who is deemed to be a "Loyal and natural boy" (II. i. 84) by his father. This is, as it were, the carnivalesque-grotesque version of the play's main plot when the story of Cordelia's disinheritance leads finally to the delegitimization of the king himself. The reversal here triggers several other grotesque distortions in the subplot. Here Edmund's mock-legitimization gives nature a free rein to intrude upon the judicial rule of the state. The love triangle between Edmund, Regan, and Goneril drives a lot of action in the final moments of the play and it is "a part of the play's general atmosphere of moral decay.…

    Why were Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln such strong staples in history? When considered separately they seem to be two completely different individuals but, when compared side by side there is much common ground between the two. Both of these men had suffered the death of a parent at a relatively young age. Also they were assassinated after a great victory, coincidentally the pair died at the age of fifty-six years old. Their assassins were carried out by people who had disagreed with the way they had used their power and authority.…

    Mark Twain once said, “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time”(Death Quotes, Brainy Quotes).

Alan Berg and Julius Caesar were both very influential people with radical ideas that not everyone agreed with.

    The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjustified. It’s unjustified because Caesar was a great leader and lawgiver. Even though Caesar was a leader for his army across the republic in northern Italy, Caesar was taking down the forces for his enemies before he left to Egypt. He already had a plan when he left for Egypt. Julius Caesar was a good man.…

Unlike his killers, Caesar’s love for Rome and its people, combined with his superb military ability, show that Caesar was a good man who was fit to lead Rome. Caesar was a good leader.…

    The title alone of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare speaks volumes about the nature of Caesar’s death. Labeling the leader’s fall as a tragedy creates an aura of sadness around the loss, portraying his murder as an unfortunate and brutal occurrence. However, the motives of the conspirators that ended Caesar’s life were not wholly ruthless. Rather, this group of men sought to save Rome from the tyranny and negligence that they believed was being perpetrated by Caesar himself. The fact that their intentions were honest and their violence was limited to the bare minimum suggests that the death of Caesar is better described as a sacrifice than a butchery.…
