Marcus Brutus
Marcus Antonius
Marcus Antonius, commonly referred to as Antony, is a character from “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, a play by William Shakespeare. He has a great contrast to most of the characters in the play, as he has an innocent mind and a livelier mood than the rest. He does not think too deep into things as the others do. Antony is what could be considered a close friend of Caesar’s, and could even be considered as his character foil. However, he is mainly a character foil to Brutus, who, not only is more intellectual and a deeper thinker than him, but is also much more reserved. Antony appears to be a character that is extremely naive and readily willing to trust anyone or anything. Even with his flaws, and large difference from the other characters in the play, he is well suited for lightening the mood a bit in such a dark and seriously themed play.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar is the main protagonist in the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar, in the time and setting of the play, was a General and won the popularity of the common people. Although sometimes he is seen as bossy and arrogant, in reality he is a very smart and perceptive man. We start see this when he becomes suspicious of Cassius and sees him as a dangerous man. Caesar also has the falling-sickness (epilepsy), which makes him appear weak.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar, in the play "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare is a general from the Roman army who had just returned to Rome from defeating Pompey. Caesar is a complex character in the sense that he is strong yet weak at the same time. He is claimed to be invincible because he has won many conquests and is very liked by the commoners. However, the argument that he is popular among the commoners is weak because they are very fickle. Caesar is very intelligent and observant because he can read Cassius and tell that he is dangerous. Caesar can be thought of as weak because he has epilepsy, which causes him to seizure and foam at the mouth. He is also deaf in one ear. This being said, Julius Caesar is intelligent and observant, and said to be strong or weak.
