Web blog 17 the tragedy of Julius Caesar
All along the
story of the tragedy of Julius Caesar we have gotten to know the main
Characters. One of the main
characters and I would risk to say one that will play an immense job during
this story is Cassius. By giving a closer look to cassius I could sense since
the begging that he is planning something secret, something that will surprise
the main authority and in these case its Caesar who rules over Cassius.
Cassius is
planning on killing Caesar; first of all he thinks that Caesar does not
disserve such an honorable recognition as being the King of Rome is and was in
that time. He also seems to be jealous from the power that Caesar has and
doesn’t like to be commanded.
Cassius knows that
he wont be able to do these by himself, not only by the protection that Caesar
has but also the experience that Caesar has. Therefore he has come to create a
conspiracy against him. In these
conspiracy he tries to get people who he knows that have power and are in the
group of trusted of Caesar but also those who agree with him. Thus far Brutus
the military commander has been the one that has caused more trouble and more
challenge from Cassius to convince. What Cassius does is that he degrades
Caesar so that Brutus can see why he is no one special with other
characteristics than the normal ones, he sees that this is not working very
well so he has to question Brutus if he thinks that he is being a honorable man
to the people who don’t what Caesar to be crowned and has asked him
by letters not to do it.
So far he has not
gotten Brutus to join his secret conspiracy against Brutus but he has planted
the seed of the doubt in Brutus head in which he debates if he is doing the
right thing.
After advancing a
little more we can see that Brutus accepts Cassius claim and joins the
conspiracy, so we can say that so far Cassius plan is working and he has
defeated the loyalty of many for Caesar.
The next thing
that we need to discover is whether or not he will be le to accomplish his ultimate goal and kill
Caesar.
