Julius Caesar
Loyalty in Julius Caesar
Loyalty is the most important attribute. The definition of loyalty is faithfulness to one's friends, country, ideals, etc. What would you do if your loyalties clashed with one another? You would have to pick. That choice can make or break a man, which I think ruined many men in Julius Caesar. No one knew who was an ally or an enemy. Someone who was one of your best friends could actually be your foe? This is what happened in Julius Caesar.
I think loyalty is the very most important attribute because loyalty is being faithful. Faithfulness is adhering firmly and devotedly. Loyalty is really important in life because without it no one would know who to trust. The world would not be a very safe place to be in. you can express loyalty by always being honest with your friends, family, and even co-workers. You should always be striving to keep being loyal.
Mark Antony was a man who possessed loyalty. However, with Antony, loyalty to friends and those of his country did not conflict. He saw Caesar for what, I think, he truly was, a gracious Roman. Antony was a smart man. Not being sure of the conspirators plot, he gave them a fair chance to justify their inexcusable assassination. When Antony saw no reason for the death of Caesar he played it smart. He did not verbally attack the conspirators, he waited. Because Antony was noble and wise, he waited. He gave citizens of Rome something to think about. He turned the mob, which had turned against Caesar, for Caesar, against the conspirators. “Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war.” Gracious Antony was eager to go to war to claim justify Caesar's death. He was going to get payback on the murderers of "the noblest man that ever lived in the tide of times."
Loyalty really means so much to me. My father, when I was very young, decided to be unfaithful to my mother. It was really hard on my mom to try and trust anyone else in her life. I know I could never be anything but loyal to my mom. I

    In all actuality Shakespeare portrayed Julius Ceasar very closely in his play to what it really was in real life with only a few slight differences and also in the play the stroy is shortened down quite a bit from what really happens after Ceasar is assassinated. For example in the play Caesar is portrayed as a noble hero that is struck down by his "allies" without much of a reason. In reality Caesar was power hungry, cruel, devious, ruthless, and extremely ambitious which may have been why he was one of histories greatest military generals. Although in both the play and real life the citizens loved Caesar because he was a strong and powerful leader. In all honesty, his assassins had very good reason to fear him being their emperor.…

    Julius Caesar early political career followed the typical career of a Roman politician in the first century BC. He initially became a lawyer and then held positions needed to climb the political ladder to the consulship: quaestor, aedile and then praetor. He became consul in 59 BC and in order to make sure he obtained the consulship he formed a secret agreement between himself and the other two most important men at that time, Pompey and Crassus. Pompey was a leading military figure and Crassus was the richest man in Rome as well as a leading patrician senator. This alliance became known as the First Triumvirate which was formed in 60BC and it secured the alliance with Pompey with the marriage of Pompeia (Caesar’s sister). According to Pamela Bradley, ‘Caesar’s role in the First Triumvirate played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic’ and hence he effectively represented himself as a mediator, instigator and manipulator.…

    Antony, Caesar's best friend, was not supposed to put down the conspiracy in any way, yet he indirectly found a way to get the people to oppose the conspirators. In his soliloquy, Antony praised Caesar's great personality but at the same time, he would keep saying positive things about Brutus. An example is when he says, "He was my friend, faithful and just to me; / But Brutus says he was ambitious, / And Brutus is an honorable man." (3.2.85-87). The way in which he spoke and by telling the citizens the context…
