Thesis:
Manipulation is used throughout this play to gain strength, and
strategic advantages in the world of politics. (Greaney)
Act 1 scene 3ln 142
Be you content: good Cinna, take this paper,
And look you lay it in the praetor's chair,
Where Brutus may but find it; and throw this
In at his window; set this up with wax
Upon old Brutus' statue: all this done,
Repair to Pompey's porch, where you shall find us.
Is Decius Brutus and Trebonius there? (Greaney)
This quote from Cassius depicts the conspiraters plotting to throw
letters into Brutus'
room. In giving him the letters they hope to manipulate Brutus into
believing that it is for the good of the roman citizens. Brutus is an
honorable man and works only for the people of Rome and when he sees
the letters
will do whatever the people say even if it means murdering his closest
friend and ruler, Caesar.(Salem)
"this dream is all amiss interpreted. It was a vision fair and
fortunate. Your statue spouting blood in many pipes. In which so many
smiling Romans Bathed signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
reviving blood and that great men shall press for tinctures stains
relics and cognizance. This by calphurnia's dream is signified.
( jerrick)
Decius manipulates Caesar into thinking his wife is wrong is wrong
and it is vital to go to the senate. Decius knows the assassination
plot
takes place there and uses his manipulation over Caesar to set him
up.
(Cade)
"Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried,
Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet
Brutus
says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. You all did
see
that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he
did thrice refuse. Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious, And, sure, he is an honorable man. I speak not to disprove
what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did
love him once, not without cause. What cause withholds you then to
mourn for him? O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men
have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there
with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.
(weeps)" (Jerrick)
In these lines Antony is manipulating the crowd to believe that
Caesar
was not an abitious man. He shows how Caesar cared for the poor when
he says, "when the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept." Showing that
Caesar cries for the poor. He also points out that Caesar did not
want
to be king because he was offered the crown three times, but he did
not accept it.(Michael Marymee)

I like the thesis i think a little rewording of it can help, to
elaborate on the strategic advantages, but very clear and easy to
follow.

I dont really understand what you mean by strength in the thesis. If
it is strength in politics you could maybe elaborate on that but if it
isn't then i don't understand

I think it would have been better if you put who was using manipulation in your thesis

While the commentary does have good ideas, it seems a lot of it is
restating the concrete detail.

the thesis doesn't sound right. I don't think manipulation should be
the first word of it, but all around solid ideas and points
