Julius Caesar

Could Julius Caesar Lived? Or Brutis could of saved Caesar him self? This Essay is about how in the play "Julius Caesar", were there are many parts that could of had happened differently and the out come of the play would change Drastically.

During the play in Act 3, scene 1 Brutis and The Conspiracy kills Caesar by stabbing him to death, (Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 76) "Et tu Brute? Then fall Caesar" This shows that when they are about to stab Caesar: Caesar was thinking that if Brutis was there then it means that there was a good reason for his Death. In (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 1-334) Brutis and the conspiracy are gathered up and planning to kill Caesar. Cassius and everyone decided to surround Caesar by asking him questions then when everyone is set up, Caesar will be killed with daggers that are hidden within their togas. The Results of the murder of Caesar started an uproar, by Mark Antony famous Speech. Afterwards a war started between the Romans and the Conspiracy. Brutis knew he did the wrong thing to kill Caesar, and then Brutis sounds the alarm to soon so his men were not ready to fight and that to make sure that the Romans would win the war. After Brutis took his own life with the sword he assassinated Caesar with. In (Act 5, Scene 2) "alarum" went off and in (Act 5, Scene 5, Lines 49-50) "give me your hand first: fare you well, my lord." "Farewell, good Strato." At this part Brutis now runs him self onto his sword and kills him self. What could have happened in the play was Brutis would not committed suicide and save Caesars life too. In (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 51) "I kill'd not thee with half so good will" meaning that Brutis was not so sure of killing Caesar, therefore Brutis killed him self because of guilt, for having Murdered Caesar.

During the play Act 1, Scene 2 Caesar did not take the soothsayers advice but ignored it. In (Act 1, Scene 2, lines 24) "He is a dreamer; let him pass" meaning that Caesar did not care what the Soothsayer had to say because he thought that the soothsayer was crazy. The results of the Caesar not taking the soothsayers advice, on the ides of March Caesar was assassinated by Brutis and the Conspiracy. (Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 76-77) Caesar was assassinated by the Conspiracy. What could of happened was the Caesar could of lived, in (Act 2, Scene 3, Lines 10-15) " Caesar, beware of Brutis; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutis loves the not; thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mindin all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immoral, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend the! Thy lover, Artemidours." Meaning that Caesar must be aware of what is going around him and keep his guard up and not to trust friends when he has power but did not Caesar read the letter. In (Act 2, Scene 3, Lines 10-15) Artemidours wrote a letter to Caesar Explaining who not to trust, or doom shall come to Caesar!

Finally in Act 3, Scene
