How is fate presented in shakespeare’s julius caesar and shelley’s ozymandias?

January 28, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Fate shows no matter how hard you try to change your destiny it never works. For example cassius tried to kill himself before his fate killed him. What cassius tryed to do shows that your fate can never change.

cassius killed himself because he wanted to cheat fate. He thought his fate was that he was going to die and fail  anyway but that was never the outcome. “Alas,thou has misconstrued everything”. Messala tells us that cassius has misunderstood  everything and his fate is not what he thinks it is . Cassius heard shouting and screaming so he thought he had to kill himself but infact his army was winning so that was a big mistake. I think Cassius fate is a punishment because I think it’s trying to teach him a lesson.

 

Shakespeare shows us that fate in julius caesar is something that you cant stop and dont try because it would futile.

Act 1 scene 2

It is hard for Caesar to believe people. When the Soothsayer tells Caesar to ‘beware the ides of March’ he questions the Soothsayer, demanding to know more. Caesar does not believe the message ‘he is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass’

Caesar knows the message is true but he denies that he knows it is true.

Cassius & Brutus

Act 1 scene 1

Scene 1 starts with a celebration in the streets of Rome. There are two guards that stop the celebration because they felt the people of Rome were cheering for the wrong person,

‘what tributaries follow him to Rome to grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels’

They are talking about how the poeple celebrate Caesar. The word bond means slavery, Murellus believes Caesar keeps the people in slavery.

16 YEAR OLDS SHOULD VOTE!

i believe 16 year olds should be able to vote because many 16 year olds have problems ,medical conditions , problem with their college fees , rent problems. those with rent problems could vote for labour and be put on benefits. those with health conditions could vote for labour and then more money would be put towards the NHS and those with college fees could vote for conservatives who then would cut down college fees.all of it adds up to better lives for 16 year olds , some might say they will be immature when it comes to vote , that may be true those who are immature probaly won’t vote and the 16 year olds who do vote will be doing it for their own good thats why 16 year olds should be able to vote?!

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
