My thoughts on Julius Caesar

Thoughts

                Okay so this story is about a guy who thinks he's bigger than life and the people around him are trying to kill him. The guys name is Julius Caesar(As you could have guessed from the title.). He has worked to get his position as sole ruler, but the people trying to kill him fear sole rulers. All the while, they get close to Caesar by playing with his ego. They use terms like "your grace" or "your majesty" when describing him. Caesar say that he does not like flattery but he is a haughty fellow and is easily manipulated. The way I see it is that Caesar was blind and to ambitious to realize that he was making enemies on his climb to power. he was easily manipulated into thinking that all the people of Rome accepted him as their king. He did not realize that men do not want a single ruler to make a decision for them. That they want to have a say in what goes on in their lives. People do not want to be ruled because men do not believe in having to answer to any one person. That the more people they have ruling them, the more likely they are to get heard. Men do not want to be silenced. They don't want to be suppressed by someone who's just as human as they are. Every man or woman has a right to be heard. And what Julius Caesar did was that he tried to get the people of Rome to see him as their king and did not focus on how to gain their trust. The way he did it was that he tried to make himself seem better than everyone else. he truly was so conceited that it killed him. Of all the rulers in the past it is in my opinion that Julius Caesar's death was the most redundant. That the way he carried himself, which was haughty and arrogant, he should have known that people would some day come to end him.

              On the flip side of the coin, the men who so brutally murdered Julius Caesar should have known that there would be consequences. What they did was over kill. Every single one of the senate members stabbed him, even after he was already dead. They could have ended his reign of power in a different way. They did not have to take his life. The men who murdered Caesar should have done the honorable thing and stood for what they did. 

In all honesty, I give no heed to either side of the story. The characters of this story could have done so many thing differently that the story would not have ended in unnecessary blood shed. If men were truly honorable then they would think about all solutions before they act. What the men in this story did was that they just acted on one solution and did not think about how many people it would affect.
