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.

Brutus honours ceaser but because he was ambitious he slew him.

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

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.

‘a mender of bad soles’
