Question

Julius Caesar compares himself to the Northern star. Despite being such a great emperor, there are certain flaws in his character which lead to his downfall. Being one of the citizens in the mob, listening to the funeral oration by Antony, you feel deeply moved by Caesar’s untimely death. Pen down your emotions at having lost such an eminent personality who could have led Rome to prosperity.

Answer 1

With this speech, Caesar seals his fate. After arrogantly defying three separate warnings that his life would be in danger were he to go to the Senate this day (the ides of March), Caesar sits amid the noblemen (and would-be conspirators) and denies their request to repeal the banishment of Publius Cimber. He will not change his mind. He compares himself to the north star and then to an Olympian god, and that is when the attack begins. He is stabbed to death by men who, until that point, were on their knees asking that he repeal Cimber's banishment.
