- Julius Caesar - Analysis of Brutus .
- William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, is mainly based on the assassination of Julius Caesar. The character who was in charge of the assassination was, ironically, Marcus Brutus, a servant and close friend to Julius Caesar. But what would cause a person to kill a close friend? After examining Brutus' relationship to Caesar, his involvement in the conspiracy, and his importance to the plot, the truth can be revealed. Marcus Brutus, a servant and close friend to Caesar, has a strong relationship with Caesar but a stronger relationship with Rome and its people. Brutus is very close to Caesar. ... In many points of the play, Brutus was talking and next to Caesar. Brutus also loves Caesar but fears his power. In the early acts of the play, Brutus says to Cassius, "What means this shouting? I do fear the people do choose Caesar for their king. ... Brutus loves Caesar, but would not allow him to "climber-upward. ... As the quote says, Brutus would not allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's death.

- The First Triumvirate and Julius Caesar.
- The End of the Republic - Caesar's Political Life.
- To avert civil war, Julius Caesar, whose reputation was growing because of his military successes in Gaul, suggested their three-way partnership, known to us as the first triumvirate, but at the time referred to as an "amicitia" (friendship) or "factio" (whence, our "faction"). Crassus, the capable financier, would receive Syria, Pompey, the renowned general, Spain, and Caesar, who would soon show himself to be a skilled politican as well as a military leader, Gaul. The relationship between Caesar and Pompey was cemented by Pompey's marriage to Caesar's daughter Julia.
- Julia, wife of Pompey and daughter of Julius Caesar, died in 54, thereby breaking the personal alliance between Caesar and Pompey. ... Meanwhile, although Caesar was not in Rome, his power was growing. ... Caesar had both tribunes on his side when other members of the senate started accusing him of treason, so the tribunes imposed their vetoes. ... Accusing Julius Caesar of treason, they ordered Caesar to return to Rome, but without his army. ...

- Julius Caesar Characters guide studies each character's role and motivation in this play.
- Julius Caesar: The victorious leader of Rome, it is the fear that he may become King and revoke the privileges of men like Cassius that leads to his death at the hands of Cassius, Brutus and their fellow conspirators. ...
- The threat that Caesar was moving away from the ideals of the Roman republic towards an Empire ruled directly by himself is the chief reason so many senators, aristocrats and even Caesar's friend Brutus, conspired to kill him.
- Introduced early in the play as a great (and arguably arrogant) leader who fears nothing, Caesar is warned by Artemidorus, The Soothsayer and wife (Calphurnia) alike not to go to the Senate on the "ides of March" the very day he is assassinated. ...
- Caesar later returns in the play as a ghost which haunts Brutus in Act V. Easily flattered by Decius Brutus (not to be confused with Brutus), Caesar appears to us as a man almost guided not so much by his own will but what he believes are the expectations his people have of "Caesar. " This is why he is reluctant to show fear, Caesar, as he frequently refers to himself in the third person, fears nothing and can show no sign of weakness or indeed mortality.
- Octavius Caesar: The adopted son of Caesar, Octavius by history, ultimately became ruler of the Roman Empire following his defeat of Mark Antony in Egypt (See Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra). ...
- Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony): One of the Triumvirs (leaders) who rule Rome following Caesar's assassination. Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) is famous in this play for his speech, which turns the Romans against Brutus following his group's assassination of Caesar. ...
- Cicero: A well-known orator (public speaker) and Senator, Cicero is killed by the Triumvirs (Mark Antony, Octavius and Lepidus) following Caesar's assassination.
- Publius: A Senator who travels with Caesar to the Senate House the day Caesar is killed, he witnesses Caesar's assassination. Though deeply "confounded" or confused and shaken by the assassination of Caesar (Act III, Scene I, Line 86), he is used by Brutus to tell the citizens of Rome that Caesar aside, no one else will be hurt (Act III, Scene I, Lines 89-91).

34. Julius Caesar: Historical Background
- www.vroma.org
- JULIUS CAESAR: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND.
- 102/100 BCE: Gaius Julius Caesar was born (by Caesarean section according to an unlikely legend) of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor. ...
- When the Optimate dictator, Sulla, was in power, he ordered Caesar to divorce her; when Caesar refused, Sulla proscribed him (listed him among those to be executed), and Caesar went into hiding. Caesar's influential friends and relatives eventually got him a pardon.
- 79 BCE: Caesar, on the staff of a military legate, was awarded the civic crown (oak leaves) for saving the life of a citizen in battle. His general sent him on an embassy to Nicomedes, the king of Bithynia, to obtain a fleet of ships; Caesar was successful, but subsequently he became the butt of gossip that he had persuaded the king (a homosexual) only by agreeing to sleep with him. When Sulla died in 78, Caesar returned to Rome and began a career as a orator/lawyer (throughout his life he was known as an eloquent speaker) and a life as an elegant man-about-town.
- 75 BCE: While sailing to Greece for further study, Caesar was kidnaped by Cilician pirates and held for ransom. ...
- 72 BCE: Caesar was elected military tribune. ...
- 68/67 BCE: Caesar was elected quaestor and obtained a seat in the Senate; he married Pompeia, a granddaughter of Sulla. Caesar supported Gnaeus Pompey and helped him get an extraordinary generalship against the Mediterranean pirates, later extended to command of the war against King Mithridates in Asia Minor.
- There were rumors that Caesar was having an affair with Gnaeus Pompey's wife, Mucia, as well as with the wives of other prominent men.
- 63 BCE: Caesar spent heavily in a successful effort to get elected pontifex maximus (chief priest); in 62 he was elected praetor. He divorced Pompeia because of her involvement in a scandal with another man, although the man had been acquitted in the law courts; Caesar is reported to have said, The wife of Caesar must be above suspicion, suggesting that he was so exceptional that anyone associated with him had to be free of any hint of scandal. ...
- Caesar persuaded the two men to work together and promised to support their interests if they helped him get elected to the consulship.
- 59 BCE: Caesar was elected consul against heavy Optimate opposition led by Marcus Porcius Cato, a shrewd and extremely conservative politician. Caesar married his only daughter, Julia, to Pompey to consolidate their alliance; he himself married Calpurnia, the daughter of a leading member of the Popular faction. Caesar pushed Pompey's measures through, helped Crassus' proposals, and got for himself a five-year term as proconsul of Gaul after his consulship was over. However, he used some strong-arm methods in the Assembly and completely cowed his Optimate colleague in the consulship, Bibulus, so that jokers referred to the year as the consulship of Julius and Caesar (instead of the consulship of Caesar and Bibulus). Caesar was safe from prosecution for such actions as long as he held office, but once he became a private citizen again he could be prosecuted by his enemies in the Senate.
35. Roman Emperors - DIR Augustus
- www.roman-emperors.org
- To understand Augustus, it is necessary to appreciate briefly the nature of the Roman Revolution and, in particular, the place of Julius Caesar within it. ... ") By the time of Caesar's dominance in 49-44 BC the Republic had not been functioning effectively for at least a dozen years, some would argue for longer. ... When civil war erupted between Pompey and Caesar in 49 BC, few could have been surprised. ...
- Despite vanquishing his opponents in the long series of civil wars 49-45 BC, Caesar did little to address the underlying ills of the Republic. ... Extensive and excessive honors of all sorts were also voted to Caesar by a sycophantic senate: he refused none, save attempts to crown him king. Nevertheless, his broad disregard for tradition and precedent, and the general air of arrogance and high-handedness that marked Caesar's dealings with his peers, made him appear Rome's king in all but name. ... That the cabal of nobles who conspired to kill Caesar included disaffected members of his own party constitutes stark testimony as to the effects of Caesar's tactlessness. ... Julius Caesar, dictator for life, was surrounded by the conspirators at a meeting of the senate and cut down with twenty-three stab wounds. ...
- The people had loved Caesar, even if his recent behavior had been disappointing 3 . ... The senate, meeting on March 17, vacillated and declared an amnesty for the Liberators (inferring legitimacy for their act of tyrannicide) while ratifying all of Caesar's acts and decreeing him a public funeral in the Forum (inferring legitimacy for Caesar's power). It may have seemed a workable compromise, but when Caesar's mutilated body was displayed to the crowd and the contents of his will were made public--in which some gardens were bequeathed to the public and an individual stipend given to each member of the Roman people--the dam of emotion burst and rioting ensued. ... Power seemed firmly in the hands of the pro-Caesar camp and, in particular, in those of M. Antonius (Mark Antony), Caesar's right-hand man. ... For Caesar named as his chief heir and adopted son one of his three great-nephews, C. ...
- His father Octavius had earned the hand of Atia, daughter of Caesar's sister, Julia, and this seemingly remote family link between the young Octavius and Caesar was to play a determinative role in shaping the rest of Octavius's life. ...
- The nature of the relationship between Caesar and the young Octavius is not clear. ... 2) that after Octavius reached maturity (in 48 BC), Caesar took him in and began training him to be his successor. This assertion is clearly more informed by later imperial behavior than by Late Republican practice, and is unlikely in any case, since Caesar was much occupied with the civil wars at this time (49-45 BC). ... When Caesar celebrated his multiple triumphs in September 46 BC, Octavius took part in the procession and was accorded military honors. ... He then followed Caesar to Spain when the latter went to fight the Pompeians at Munda (45 BC). ... In 44 BC Caesar nominated the magistrates several years in advance (another shunning of tradition on Caesar's part), and the young man was included as his Master of Horse for 43 or 42 BC. ...

- Militancy and Masculinity in Julius Caesar.
- Following this Roman and early modern ethical system, Julius Caesar's Brutus establishes his social position when he says: 'My ancestors did from the streets of Rome/ The Tarquin drive, when he was called a king' (II. ...
- Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, written and performed in 1599, reflects and comments upon these tensions. ... The strongest suggestion that valour is the signifier of manliness in Julius Caesar's Rome comes, ironically, from Portia, who tries to gain Brutus' ear by dispelling her femininity: .
- Despite the importance of demonstrating fortitude, however, Julius Caesar's relation to valour extends beyond a simple formula of mettle proving merit. Caesar, as military conqueror, gets considerable glory, as the opening triumphal procession reveals, yet this glory is more complex than it immediately appears. Alongside the common cheers, the tribune Marullus attacks the plebeians' celebration of Caesar's victory: 'Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? / What tributaries follow him to Rome, / To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?' (I. ... Caesar's valour, so impressive to the plebeians, is subject to alternative representation. ...
- Julius Caesar's situation within early modern ethics of valour emerges most conspicuously in the representation of Caesar, whose ability to rule is contingent upon his ability to fight. Seemingly aware of this, Caesar fashions himself as a courageous ruler. ...
- And it is fear of being thought fearful which gets Caesar to visit the fatal Senate. Decius' winning argument is: 'If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper / "Lo, Caesar is afraid"?' (II. ... Caesar and the conspirators recognise that valour is the emblem of his leadership, and attempt to enhance or distort that emblem to suit their political needs. ...
- As some of Elizabeth's courtiers positioned her as a valiant ruler, many of the play's critics believe that Shakespeare's Caesar is a strong military figure. James Emerson Phillips writes: 'As a military leader Caesar brings victory abroad and peace at home, enriching the state with ransoms from his captives and reducing to ordered tranquillity the civil strife in Rome' (Phillips 1940, 178). Gail Kern Paster argues that Caesar destroys the possibility of Romanitas in others by fulfilling its dictates so supremely (Paster 1985, 86). Critical history has tended to agree with Roman history and puts Caesar's military virility 'beyond question' (MacCallum 1910, 221). ...
