Emir Miranda kenn_miran8c5c — ** spoiler alert ** Um, so school report=horrible summary+random literary devices. Can't remember much except that this book put me to sleep at least once. “Julius Caesar” is one of Shakespeare’s many historically based but inaccurate plays. In his reproduction of Roman history, Shakespeare takes the events of three years and condenses them into six days. Following Caesar’s triumphant return to Rome, his friend and political ally, Antony, presents him with the dictator’s crown. Caesar refuses the crown, but his political opponents still believe him to be a tyrant and a danger to the empire’s democracy. Lead by Cassius, Caesar’s opponents convince Brutus, Caesar’s closest friend, to join into the conspiracy. The following day the conspirators successfully kill Caesar, but lose the favor of the people and their own lives in the chaotic aftermath. Shakespeare’s tones of drama and realism are equally portrayed by his diction. Brutus attempts to draw Senators to the conspiracy against Caesar by describing the dictator as an unhatched serpent, saying, “And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg, which hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, and kill him in the shell.” (II.I.175-178). Although the simile is fitting, the dramatic parallel between Caesar and an unhatched reptile is purely symbolic. Brutus also uses dramatic symbolism in his hyperbole, “I had rather be a dog and bay at the moon/Than such a Roman” (IV.iii.28-29). Both of these lines juxtapose with the realism found in other sections of Shakespeare’s text. When asked to describe Antony’s presentation of the crown to Caesar, Cassius explains, “Then he offered it to him again; then he put it away again”, etc. (I.ii.250-252) Such a description is ironic, considering Caesar probably did desire the crown, but far from dramatic. Cassius’ instruction to Antony, “You know not what you do. Do not consent that Antony speak in his funeral,” (III.i.225) is also realistic in Cassius’ expectation of uprising from the citizens.
