Report: Julius Caesar
It can be concluded that the death of Julius Caesar was self
inflicted due to his sense of pride, stubbornness, and naivity.
In the play, when Caesar is offered the crown of Rome, by Marc
Antony, he refuses to accept it three times. But then he secretly
accepts it showing that he was to proud to accept it publicly.
Caesar is warned by a soothsayer to,? Beware of the ides of
March(Shakespeare)?.. After hearing this he ignores the warning
therefore he is showing stubbornness. He also shows stubbornness
by ignoring his wife?s dream. In this dream, Calpurnia sees a statue
of him bleeding from a hundred wounds. He ignores this and leaves
for the capitol. On his way to the capitol he is stopped by a man
named Artemidorus, who offers him a letter in which the whole
conspiracy is revealed but Caesar refuses to accept it, once again he
is being stubborn.
Caesar could have also been said to be naive. He was sure that
he was so powerful and so loved that he would never be overthrown or
betrayed. This naivity could have been the main cause of his death.
It can be concluded that the death of Julius Caesar was self
inflicted due to his sense of pride, stubbornness, and naivity.
