Julio Cesar

2. Consider Brutus’s actions.
Is he right to join the conspiracy against

Caesar? What are his reasons? Does he choose to join the conspiracy, or is
he tricked by Cassius? How do Cassius’s motivations compare to Brutus’s?
Are they more noble or less noble?
The ambitions of Julius Caesar provoke a conspiracy among the defenders of

Roman freedom, especially Cassius and Casca , who persuade Brutus. Gross
hates the ambitions of Caesar, but Caesar himself , so that every action is
accompanied by his disgust for the act to be undertaken . Gross defends the
insistence of his wife Portia , who wants to find out his secret, while Caesar's
wife , Calpurnia , warned by a dream, begs Caesar not to go to the Capitol
on the Ides of March. But one of the conspirators , Decius convinces .
The sophist Artemidoro fails in his attempt to warn him , and Caesar is
assassinated. The conspirators make it scream through the city : "Liberty and
Independence " , believing people have with them, but Antonio, with a
clever funeral oration over the body of Caesar up to the people, while the
speech of Brutus forced to leave cold mass . The uprising forced to flee to
the conspirators , the government of the triumvirs , Antony, Octavius and
Lepidus , who mobilize against the army of Brutus and Cassius is formed.
3. Julius Caesar, a play about statehood and leadership, is one of the most
quoted of Shakespeare’s plays in modern-day political speeches. Why do
you think this play about conspiracy and assassination might appeal to
politicians today? Also, discuss Caesar, as an aging, heirless leader.
The entire work environment shows the passions that move to power,
including the most common in these types of circumstances: the ambition
and envy. Ambition is just the protagonist of the murder of Caesar. This is
where the murderers of Caesar justified the act by saying that before the
plebs Cesar's ambition was to destroy the Republic (the proof of Brutus
speech on the steps in front of the angry mob).
5. Who is the protagonist in this play? Is it Caesar, who dies well before
the end but whose power and name continue on? Or is it Brutus, the
noble man who falls because of his tragic flaws?
Analyzing in detail the alleged protagonist (at least for much of the film),
ie, Julio Cesar, we see in a very proud man (this is seen in phrases like "...
but the dangers never looked my back, when they saw the face of Cesar
vanished "), while thought to be infinitely superior to any other person.
At first glance it may seem that the real protagonist is Brutus, especially
since the end of the drama, he is remembered for Antonio with words
by analogy could be applied at the same Shakespeare : " This was the
noblest of all Roman His life was gentle ... , and the elements were so
mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world : this
was a man. " But Brutus , in the first act , occupies a secondary position
on Casio , in the third , his personality is supported by Antonio , and only
acts IV and V plays a dramatic role in the foreground.
To solve the problem , some have thought that the real protagonist is
the idea embodied by Caesar, Caesarism , the authoritarian ideal, whose
antagonist would be represented by the republican idea of freedom
defenders of ancient Rome . For others, in short, all the disquisitions on
the true protagonist is vain, considering how inextricably linked are the
destinations of Caesar and Brutus, in such a way that Brutus ( Act IV,
Scene 3) appears to him his own destiny , his demon , his face Caesar .
To conclude
the movie, like the original literary text uses historical fact to offer a
reflection on two models of different state, dictatorship against the
patrician republic, that conflict at a particular time in the history of
Rome, conflict may foreshadow certain subsequent political attitudes.
But we can also find in the story told not just a reflection of a political
nature, but also an analysis of human passions that revolve around the
issue of resentment, desire for revenge and the line of duty over
personal feelings of man status.
It is definitely a masterpiece in which Mankiewicz cleverly scrutinizes

the interior of characters subject to greed, the power plays,
unscrupulous, greedy, ambitious beings that manipulate the people in
their own interest and for which notions as individual rights or values
such as freedom, justice or fairness, or feelings such as pity have no
place. The film also talks about the life of a History of Rome, who daily
teaches us that any of the recesses of their historical avatars continues
to serve us as an example to escape the false prophets for the sake of
freedom and our of course being able to play with each day and decide
who is to live or die with nothing to tell them more than their greed.
Has much to teach the history of Rome, which is the origin of our own,
and what we have forgotten ...
