Ambituous Ceasar

of the play, he caused some major effects after his death. Once the conspirators stab Caesar, Caesar sadly says his death sentence. Before he dies, he says “Et tu, Bruté? Then fall Caesar.” (823). Caesar foreshadows the death of Brutus since the spirit of Caesar haunts and seeks revenge. After Caesar died, Brutus lets Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral, which is the turning point of Julius Caesar. Some critics say Caesar is a kind and a generous leader. Antony describes Caesar’s will with, “Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, his private arbors, and new-private orchards.” (840). Caesar’s will shows that he is a generous and kind leader with giving public property and “to every several man, seventy-five drachmas.” (840). However, Caesar is still ambitious after his death. Furthermore, Cassius thought that his army was losing and he died. Cassius says his death sentence with, “Guide thou the sword - Caesar, thou art revenged, Even with the sword that killed thee.” (869). Cassius reminds us that Caesar’s revenge has come. Brutus’s nightmare was reoccurring with the ghost of Caesar. Brutus sorrowfully said, “The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to me Two several times by night; at Sardis once, And this last night here in Philippi fields. I know my hour is come.” (874). Brutus believes that Caesar’s spirit has haunted him and his life should perish. As a result, Caesar caused two more deaths after his own death.

Hence, Caesar reveals that he is ambitious with his choices, outlooks and outcomes. Within Julius Caesar, Caesar’s actions becoming the emperor were horrid, such as Cassius’s thoughts. Ironically, after his death, Rome was worse with the citizen’s actions, such as killing Cinna the poet instead of killing Cinna the conspirator. “There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that once unleashed can make any vision, dream or desire a reality.” - Anthony Robbins
