Manipulation in Julius Caesar

[william hecht]

Manipulation in Julius Caesar

Thesis: In William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar”, the
conspirators use manipulation to persuade others to join their cause
of killing Caesar. WH


CD: While talking to Brutus, Cassius says “I have heard Where many of
the best respect in Rome, Except Immortal Caesar speaking of Brutus
and groaning underneath his age’s yoke Have wished that noble Brutus
had his eyes” (1.2.60) GN


CM: Cassius tries to manipulate Brutus by telling him how great and
noble he is, and that most citizens of Rome think the same way. He
does this so that Brutus will be more open to his criticism of Caesar
and want to go along with their conspiracy. WH


CD:
“Brutus, thou sleep’st. Awake, and see thyself. Shall Rome, etc.
Speak, strike, redress! Brutus, thou sleep’st. Awake. Such
instigations have been often dropped Where I have took them up. “Shall
Rome, etc. Thus must I piece it out: Shall Rome stand under one man’s
awe? What, Rome? My ancestors did from the streets of Rome The Tarquin
drive when he was called king 2.1.46-54 MO

CM: Cassius exploits Brutus’ naive personality of putting Rome in
front of himself which causes Brutus to be swayed to the idea that if
they all killed Caesar then it would be best for Rome.MO

CD: In an attempt to convince Caesar to come to the senate house,
Decius tells Caesar, “Apt to be rendered for someone to say ‘Break up
the senate till another time, when Caesar’s wife shall meet with
better dreams.’ If Caesar hides himself shall they not whisper, ‘Lo
Caesar is afraid?’” (2.2.100) GN

CM: Decius attacks Caesar’s motives. He knows Caesar wants everyone to
believe he is powerful and fearless, so he tells Caesar that he must
come to the senate house or everyone will assume he is weak. Decius
uses manipulation by criticizing Caesar’s manhood. This causes Caesar
to come to the senate house, where he will later be killed. GN

I like your CD's because it fits what you are trying to say and your
CM's as well.

[Zachary Wallace]

I like how your CD's relate to your TS's and Thesis

Good thesis and you gave strong reasons into the manipulation

[Boyd Bowring]

Great opinions just make sure to explain in a little more depth.

Try to give more evidence to what your saying in your commentary by
using your quote.

[Christian Casias]

Good thesis and you gave strong reasons supporting your thesis

[Ryan Kranson]

good thesis but a little more explaining in the commentary would help
out a lot

I would try to fit in Brutus' speech where he says "in general"
showing that he is speaking for the public. Good CD's and CM's though.

The thesis is good it just states the argument instead of being too
fancy and i also like the last set of commentary because it explains
Decius' criticism towards Caeser well.

Nice broad Thesis, Concrete details are good, and you wrote great
commentaries, it flows very well.

CD'S do a good job on matching the thesis but for the CM'S maybe try not to state what has already been said in the CD'S.

[Joshua Salem]

Thesis could use some grammatical changes but the CD are great and you
may need to work on your commentary.

[nicholas shankaran]

Who are the conspirators?

[zach haynes]

The thesis is kind of broad but over all good info
