    In Julius Caesar the rulers break and bend the rules one after another. I don't think the rulers should be able to break there rules and then tell us not to even if it was for the good of the country. “As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can” (Caesar). This quote really gets to the reader because all of the other rulers assumed that Julius Caesar was going to change their country into something that wasn’t good for the people. They were so worries about how they thought he was going to ruin their government that they didn’t look at the positive sides to Julius being a ruler. We have been learning about Julius Caesar in class for weeks and by the time you get done reading this essay you might agree with me. After you get done reading this you will gain more knowledge about giving one man so much power for one country can cause so much trouble. Julius Caesar and Brutus did not agree on the future government of Rome so Brutus ultimately killed Caesar. I disagree, Julius Caesar was a powerful man that was seen as a threat, brutus didn’t agree with having Rome as a dictatorship, and in result Brutus kills Caesar in fear of Rome falling apart and only to become a…

    Julius Caesar in the play "The tragedy of Julius Caesar" was a in line to be the next ruler of Ancient Rome. Caesar becomes drunk in power as most people would when there are roughly a million people adoring you. The people of Ancient Rome truly liked Caesar, in fact in Act 1 Scene 1, a commoner says "..we are taking holiday for Caesar's arrival.." In this act the reader gets a sense on how much the people like Caesar. However it is also shown to the reader how much noblemen do not like or trust Caesar to be a good leader. Throughout Act 1 and 2 Cassius is trying to convince Brutus, one of Caesar's good friends, to help them murder Caesar so he could take the crown. Brutus and his followers believe they are doing a service to the people. That in some way sacrificing Caesar is for the better good.

He also proved to be a good and fair victor by inviting some of his defeated rivals to join him in the government.
