        <description><![CDATA[Here are some paraphrases.
1. Successful people have their own problems; the envy of other people.
2. There is one problem that is specific to the successful, the envy of others. Who ever envied an unsuccessful man?
3. Envy is such a powerful motivation the even Caesar was shocked at what it did to Brutus, as Caesar uttered, "You, too Brutus."
4. As Caesar fell victim to the machinations of his murders, he uttered in anguish, "You too, Brutus?"]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Of course, you can paraphrase each of these in a variety of ways.  I'll give you a couple examples.
For the first sentence.
Successful people always have problems.  Caesar fell victim to these problems.
Caesar fell victim to the problem (or problems -- whichever you think is better) that all successful people have (or face).
For the second sentence:
As Caesar was being murdered, "You too, Brutus?" was his anguished question.
"You too,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This part of the play is all about the 'fine art of persuasion' - particularly,as we are all used to it, in terms of politicians getting us to vote for them. Another analogy might be the jury in a court room who are so blown away by an attorney's defense that they are ready to acquit the defendant there and then...until they hear the prosecution case. It is also about good oratory or speech-making. Both men are so persuasive that they carry...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Julius Caesar is a play about how language can be used to manipulate. The two speeches by Brutus and Antony immediately succeeding Caesar's assassination manipulate the crowd into condoning, then condemning the act.  Shakespeare has a bit of foreshadowing at the top of the play, where the tribunes manipulate the crowd through speech from celebrating Caesar's arrival to mourning Pompey's death, and the crowd disperses.  Later, Brutus' and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Brutus wishes to seek out and engage the enemy immediately, while he still can.  Shakespeare uses a tidal image to convey the sense that their endeavor is now at "full sea" and should be carried forth. Being in unfriendly territory, his resources and influence can only diminish. Cassius argues that it would be better strategically for the army to remain in place and regroup, and let the enemy come to them.
Interestingly, Cassius allows Brutus...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Like all current politicians, Antony doesn't waste a good crisis.  One of the core themes in Julius Caesar is the ability of language to manipulate -- all the major (and many of the minor) characters use language to further their ends.  After Brutus departs, Antony eulogizes Caesar, and calls his assassins "honorable men,"  repeating that phrase multiple times.  Antony cleverly recounts (or fabricates) all the good deeds Caesar did; he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The death of Julius Caesar leads to the following:
1. Octavian takes it upon himself to raise an army to avenge Caesar.
2. The conspirators are killed and the hopes of the republic can be seen to have died with them (at least in hindsight).
3. There is power vacuum, which leads to another civil war. Octavian vs. Antony.
4. Antony is finally defeated at Actium by Octavian's right hand general, Agrippa in 31 B.C.
5. Octavian through political...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although the conspirators say they're trying to save the Republic from Caesar's attempts to become king, they really don't end up saving it at all.
After Caesar is killed, the empire gets divided up between the members of the second triumvirate, Octavian, Antony and Lepidus.
These guys jockey with one another for power until finally (not seen in this play) Octavian defeats the forces of Antony and Cleopatra.  This brings on the start of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This may have been a way of making a social comment about English society - but playing safe with the idea that would have been dynamite. Much safer for a bard's head to have the comments take place miles away in a another country.... and of course it's a great story anyway in terms of a history.
There were rumors in Caesar's time that the people in Rome wanted a king and some thought that Caesar wanted to be the main man and be king himself!...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The obvious answer is that Rome is the actual place of Caesar's assassination, and Shakespeare--while he takes some historical liberties--does try to present the assassination and the preceding/following events relatively realistically.  He consulted Plutarch's Lives for the play.
Symbolically, the political issues and Shakespeare's discussion of chaos's negative effects upon individuals and empires fits Ancient Rome's political arena. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think this is a great assignment. I would encourage you to think about how Calpunia has a full life, not all of which is represented in the novel. Most of the novel deals with her intimate interactions with a white family, the Finches, but we get in the scene in which she takes the Finch children to a black church a sense that she has a much fuller life. She's not just a maid.
Is she married? Does the novel tell us anything about her private...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Conceited:  Brutus tends to take charge of most situations and often has the final say in matters.  While he is not outwardly pompous, he carries himself with a sense of authority which often trumps the ideas or authority of other characters.  When the conspirators came to his house, he instantly took charge of the situation and began to make decisions about the assassination plot.  He also allowed Mark Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral...]]></description>
