Question

what is the irony in the play Julius caesar

Answer 1

HEY THERE!

IRONY IN DRAMA "JULIUS CAESAR"

1. Brutus makes the choice to assassinate Caesar to free Rome from potential tyranny; however, by the end of the play, Mark Antony persuades the Roman people to side with him in his support of the now deceased Caesar, and Brutus loses the battle, resulting in his own suicide. Hence, the bitter irony is that while Brutus meant to protect Rome.

2. The entire plot to kill Caesar is an overarching element of dramatic irony rather than a single event. The audience is allowed to see the conspirators' plot, but Caesar himself is not aware of the peril he is in. Despite multiple attempts to inform him, he remains unaware, and crushes every chance he is given to discover it himself. Throughout the play, the audience waits to see if Caesar will have even the slightest suspicion about the plot to kill him.

3. Calpurnia, has a dream in which Caesar is killed and spouts blood like a fountain. She tells Caesar not to leave the house because her dream could be a bad sign. The audience knows that there is truth to Calpurnia's dream: a group of conspirators is planning Caesar's assassination.

However, one of the conspirators convinces Caesar that Calpurnia's dream is not a sign of danger. Decius explains to Caesar that the image of him spouting blood actually means that his life force will be like water, pouring life into all corners of Rome. Caesar believes Decius rather than his wife, and continues to his meeting.
