Julius Caesar was born on the thirteenth day of the month Quintilis in the year of 100 BC.
             His full name is Gaius Julius Caesar, the same as his father's. Gaius is his given name and
             Julius is his surname. He was a strong political and military leader who changed the
             history of the Greek-Roman world. Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and the other Senators hold
             the power to do things others can not. Though all once were friends, this authority causes
             loss of honor and ability to use good judgment. In William Shakespeare's play Julius

             In Julius Caesar, corruption leads to dangerous outcomes, such as death. The
             senators are one of the many who are corrupted, and even took it to such an extreme link
             as death. "Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar!" (Shakespeare 3.1.77). The last words of noble

             his knife. Caesar laying there on the senate floor, illustrates the murderous intentions of
             the senators. "Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!/Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the
             streets" (Shakespeare 3.1. 78-79). The sounds of the pompous conspirators can be heard
             about the streets. Caesar is dead and they are proud of it. Would this have taken place if
             the conspirators are not of high rank, such as senators? Probably not. Simple townspeople
             do not have the power, and could not even bare to think of murdering someone as noble
             as Caesar. Cassius and the other Senators have the power to, and do commit murder.
             Brutus though, did not think of it as murder. "People and senators, be affrighted./ Fly not;
             standstill' ambition's debt has been paid" (Shakespeare 3.1.82-83). Brutus announces this
