Shakespeare
In the play, Julius Caesar an important Soliloquy occurs in Act II,scene 1, lines 10-34. The passage is very important to the play because Brutus is deciding whether to join the conspiracy or not. Also an example of foreshadowing is used in the passage, because Brutus thinks, through the natural course of life, people with power become tyrants after a while. In the passage, conflict is also used because Brutus has to decide whether or not to betray Julius or join the conflict against Julius. To support my thesis is Brutus is deciding if he should join the conspiracy against Julius Caesar or not to join the conspiracy, this can be proved because Brutus says, I know no reason to spurn him, But for the general. He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there's the question. Here Brutus is saying that he says no personal reason to kill him, but if Julius is crowned king, he would probably become a tyrant. In this passage, Brutus is making a decision based merely on an assumption. Another event within my passage to support my thesis is when Brutus says", By which he did ascend. So Caesar may; then lest he may, prevent".(II, iii, 27-28) Here I
Lets be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. Whitaker says,"two assumptions are implicit in this remark. Whitaker goes on to say: Shakespeare has done his best to make the fallacies in the reasoning obvious. (II, i, 116-117)This is a good chance for Cassius to get Brutus to join the conspiracy. Adrien Bonjur idea of the first passage is very different from Virgil Whitaker's. And every man hence to his idle bed. Shakespeare's choice of words in the passage are nothing jealous, not at all doubting; work me of, persuade me of and aim meaning idea. Another important event is at ( I, ii, 18) where the soothsayer tells Ceasar to watch out for the eyes of March. 3Here Adrien Bonjur says that the opening suggests a longer inner conflict that has been building up inside and waiting to come out. All of these words in one meaning oranother, have something to do with persuading someone. Here Brutus is explaining his inner feelings to Cassius. If Brutus doesn't join the conspiracy against Caesar, the story probably would have turned out much different and Caesar would likely still be alive. Foreshadowing is used when Brutus said "he would rather be a village than to repute himself a son of Rome". Recalling the first line of Brutus' soliloquy,"It must be by his death" .
