Question: Julius Caesar questions?

I have a couple of questions as far as Shakespeares play for Julius caesar. If Caesar wasn’t fertile and nor his wife, Calpurnia, why couldn’t Caesar get married to another woman? What was so important about Cassius complaining to Brutus about money not being accepted by Brutus? Was it because Cassius thought Brutus wasn’t as trustworthy as ever? I’m still having confusion as to why Antony couldn’t have killed Cassius, Brutus, and all the conspirators whom stabbed Caesar at the Capitol. Lastly, if Portia really wanted to know what her husband, Brutus, was doing at the Capitol, why couldn’t she just go check it out herself? Was it because of her illness or was it because she didn’t want her husband to see her spying on him?

Answer: Okay,

If Caesar wasn’t fertile and nor his wife, Calpurnia, why couldn’t Caesar get married to another woman?:
*Well, he truley loved Calpurnia and to be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did not want children. I say this because he had such a large ego that he probably could not stand the thought of someone else taking over someday.*

I’m still having confusion as to why Antony couldn’t have killed Cassius, Brutus, and all the conspirators whom stabbed Caesar at the Capitol.:
*Because he was much wiser than that. By causing a war, the citizens of Rome disliked the conspiritors also. If Antony had simply killed him, noone would really understand why, due to the chaos that would occur.*

Lastly, if Portia really wanted to know what her husband, Brutus, was doing at the Capitol, why couldn’t she just go check it out herself? Was it because of her illness or was it because she didn’t want her husband to see her spying on him?:
*I think she must have known in the back of her mind what was going to happen but wanted to think that her husband would not do such a thing as murder Caesar. And so, I believe she chose to stay away from the capitol, hope for the best, and when she found out about the murder, she would think a very good reason for why it had to happen. This is so, because Brutus and Portia are crazy in love and love, as they say, makes people do crazy things. Even not stopping a murder from taking place.*

I love the play, but keep in mind that these are just my opinions and no one really knows the exact answers.

Question: Did God die on the cross as a protest of the homosexuality, pedophilia, and bi-sexuality of the Greco-Romans?

Most of the Greek and Roman philosophers, generals, soldiers, Senators, emperors, kings, and aristocrats were bi-sexual and pedophiles. Julius Caesar, Plato, Socrates, and Alexander were all into these medieval, modern, and post-modern pervisions.

Answer: Go back to school and study history & religion.
Then come back and ask more serious questions.

Using the name of the two greatest strategic minds
in all human history and the name of two geniuses
shows that you havent learned anything from history.

But using the name of the living god is blasphemy.

Michel de Montaigne – Go with the flow

It’s 2010: the years have moved on by one notch. At the same time, the calendar circles back to 1 January, giving us the illusion that we can start everything afresh.

For others, it means something more vigorous: making resolutions, wiping clean the slate, rejecting old inadequacies and trying to do the right …

Question: Tragedy of Julius Caesar-Shakespeare?

Three questions:
Is Brutus an effective officer of the Roman Government?

Is there a difference between the Cassius we see and hear in conversation with others and who speaks the soliquoy at the end of Act 2, Scene 2?

What is the relationship between the weather and the events of Act 1?

Thanks

Answer: 1. This is an opinion i think. I think he was to a degree. Brutus saw dager to his country and dealt with it. While some would call this good leadership I wouldn’t, this self-sarcficiing behavior in no way benefits Brutus in the long run. A moral and selfless and rather clever ruler but not a cunning one.

2. Cassuis er idk

3. The weather foreshadows the bad that will happen. It is a omen that Julius foolishly ingnores

JUSTINO DIAZ IS SCARPIA; TOSCA ACT 2, PT 3 (1983)

Question: Julius Caesar – Shakespeare?

In Act 2, Scene 2 Caesar says

…Danger knows full well
That Caesar is more dangerous than he.
We are two lions littered in one day.
And I the elder and more terrible.
And Caesar shall go forth.

Can someone explain the above passage and how it relates both to Caesar and to the play as a whole?

Thank you.

Answer: Basicly Caesar is saying that he does not fear anything.

He says that he himself is more fearful than danger and that danger fears him.
He compares himself and danger to two lion cubs, and says that he is the older and more domanant one.

And thus, to some extent only to prove that he is fearless, he goes forth on the ides of march, against the countless warnings of his wife.
