    Michaela, I love your topic. My favorite part of your paper is comparing the Romeo and Juliet play we saw in Rome, Italy to another version by Bax Luhrmann’s. I think it is very important to tell your audience that did not see the play in Rome that the director added the whole birdcage scene and how you may or may not viewed the play a little d…[Read more]

    Hey Michaela,

    I really enjoyed reading your response to Julius Caesar. I completely agree with everything that you said about Brutus how at the beginning of the play he was seen as a good “loyal” friend to Caesar. As the play continues he plans Caesar’s murder with Cassius. However, Brutus has a guilty conscience and commits suicide because he…[Read more]

    Right now I am leaning more towards recording the speech in Julius Caesar when Marc Antony speaks at Caesar’s funeral. I loved the sarcasm in the words he uses how he keeps referring to the conspirators as “ […]

      There is a certain sarcasm in Antony’s words. It is also very ironic the fact that he hails the murderers as noble men, i like that you pointed that out.

      Ladonna,
      This would be a great scene to record! It makes me wonder if the actor would say these lines in a serious manner or would he add in hints of sarcasm? Antony has a great stage presence and he has tremendous leadership qualities even if he isn’t the greatest friend. I do agree that Antony did not mean to intentionally turn the people against Caesar but I feel like the townspeople would eventually have turned against Caesar.

      I think Marc Antony’s speech is a great speech to focus on while we are in Rome! It is one of the most powerful and persuasive speeches, filled with double meanings. It truly sets for a chain of events that leaves readers marveling at the power of words.

      I agree that I saw Caesar as a good person because he is a good leader. He also didn’t seem as ambitious because he didn’t take the crown but then like you said he doesn’t listen to his wife and if he did he maybe wouldn’t have been murdered.

    Problems I recognize in the first three acts of Julius Caesar were envy and jealousy; betrayal and distrust; arrogance and sexism. The major characters in this play are Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony. […]

      I really like your characters study of Caesar here, particularly the way you are using specific Act.scene.line citations to ground your understanding of his character. I think this will really help you when you need to review the play or use a posting to expand into a longer essay or refer to it in class. Interesting as well that you see Caesar’s arrogance as just as problematic as his ambition–that’s a subtle point of difference, but a good one, and you have clear examples of it from the play.
