IN THE BOOK JULIUS CAESAR A THEME THAT WAS CONTINUOUSLY REPEATED WAS BETRAYAL. BRUTUS, CASSIUS AND ANTONY AND BETRAYED CAESAR. ANTONY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOYAL TO HIM YET STABBED HIM IN THE BACK THEN RETURNED TO HIM AFTER HE DIED. THE OTHER CHARATERS ALSO BETRAYED CAESAR JUST BECAUSE HE REFUSED THE CROWN. THERE WAS A SENSE OF BETRAYAL ALL THROUGH THE PLAY FROM START TO FINISH. IF CAESAR WOULD HAVE REALIZED THIS LIKE THE READER DID THAN MAYBE THE PLAY WOULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY AND CAESAR WOULD BE ALIVE. THE WRITER, SHAKESPEARE, DID A VERY GOOD JOB EXPRESSING THIS BETRAYAL. SOMETHING THAT WAS FUNNY WAS THAT AFTER ANTONY HELPED THE OTHERS KILL CAESAR HE WENT BACK TO HIS BODY AND DEFENDED CAESAR! WHY WOULD HE DO THIS IF CAESAR WAS "WORTHY" OF BEING MURDERED. ANTONY ALSO TURNED ALMOST THE WHOLE VILLAGE AGAINST BRUTUS AND CASSIUS AND THE OTHERS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEATH OF CAESAR. |
