In William Shakespeare's tragedy of Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar goes from good fortune to bad luck. He starts out as an indomitable dictator, but ends up being assassinated. Brutus feared that Caesar would become king. The Romans hated the idea of ​​the monarchical system of government. Therefore, Brutus's only option is to kill Caesar. Caesar can be considered a tragic hero because his arrogance leads to his death. Caesar ignores the threatening signs given to him by the soothsayer, Calpurnia, nature, the priests and Artemidorus. Cesare thinks he is indomitable. However, in the midst of his fall, Caesar is enlightened. Caesar is imperfect. Shakespeare describes Caesar as extremely selfish and pompous. As a result, these personality traits lead to his death. Caesar received many omens that his downfall was imminent. The first of these warnings was that of the Soothsayer. The soothsayer tells Caesar "Beware the ides of March" (I. ii. 20). However, Cesare simply says that the fortune teller is crazy and continues. The second example of Caesar's greatest flaw is when Calpurnia dreams of Caesar's death. Caesar says that Calpurnia cried out “Help, oh! They kill Caesar!” (II. ii. 3), during sleep. Calpurnia dreamed that the statue of Caesar had a hundred spouts from which it vomited his blood, and the Romans bathed their hands in it. Caesar not only ignored his wife, but also excluded accounts of nature in chaos. Calpurnia tells him: “There is one within, / Besides the things we have heard and seen, / Tell the most horrible sights the watch has seen. / A lioness gave birth in the streets, / And the graves opened and gave up their dead” (II. ii. 14-18). Calpurnia provides several examples of nature in the middle......center of the card......to help him go mad. At the beginning of the play he says to the soothsayer, "He is a dreamer" (I. ii. 26). In the third act the fortune teller tries again and Cesare replies: "What, is this guy crazy?" (III. i. 10). Caesar's character is effective in the fact that the reader has an aversion towards him. Shakespeare leads the reader to believe that Caesar only cares about power and wealth, so the reader should not honor him or feel sympathy towards him. Julius Caesar is the tragic hero because his arrogance causes his death. He ignores the advice of the soothsayer, his wife, nature, the priests and Artemidorus. Julius Caesar's obsession with power ends up taking his life. In the end, to Cesare's amazement, his dear friend ends up giving him the final blow. Absolute power always corrupts.
