...Julius Caesar Character Analysis Written around the year 1599, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare, was based on the Roman philosopher Plutarch’s biographies of the hoary Greek and Roman rulers, Julius Caesar, Octavius Brutus, and Marc Anthony. The role and personality of Julius Caesar in the written play was greatly determined in an indirect manner. Julius Caesar is immanently the disputed protagonist who remains a flat character throughout the play; a self-aggrandizing character that is wished death upon. His constant demands and braggart remarks about himself gave him a very egotistical perception. He was plotted against behind his back by people he called his friends, and was eventually stabbed to death on the Ides of March, or on the 15th of March, ironically, in front of the Theatre of Pompey. Julius Caesar often allowed his dignity to get in his way, which strongly made him look very preposterous and moronic. Caesar thought very highly of himself and had a very prominent perspective of himself. Subsequently defeating Pompey, a Roman politician and general, he boastfully returns back to Rome, being greeted by enjoying the show of pomp. After being demanded by Caesar, Marc Antony responded to Caesar saying, “When Caesar says “Do this,” it is performed.” (23.) Marc Antony generates the idea of Caesar being like a God; he’s treated like a deity and Marc follows all his commands and demands as if he’s a slave. Caesar is perceived as a very valiant...

...Julius Caesar - BBC Shakespeare Collection: Analysis Julius Caesar was written in 1599 by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers of his time and most popular in the modern era, with Julius Caesar being one of his greatest works. In his work Julius Caesar, Shakespeare shows the fluctuation of power in Rome and the problems that came with it. Shakespeare expresses the abuse of power and the struggles to obtain in a society that was at its peak. However with great power comes great responsibility along with challenges and dangers. There is no absolute power; every power has limitations; especially when you are just a human, power itself is more than a name or position; it is something that people must do. Every character within Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has some form of power, however the biggest issue of power in this story, is the change of power in the rulers of Rome. Here once again Shakespeare displays to us many different kinds of power and the use and abuse of it such as, people with power using it just for their convenience. Julius Caesar, the protagonist of this story is the center of power; he is also the first logical person to be introduced. Upon his arrival, he is hailed as a great man who has been offered the crown numerous times, refusing it each time, he is to be seen as the hero of the people at that time. However, when Caesars past actions are looked upon we are meant to question if he has true heroism. These actions being that...

...Performance analysis of Substitution Cipher Based Cryptographic Algorithm Mihir Sanghavi 11MCA48, Student, MCA Programme, Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmadabad Email: 11MCA48@nirmauni.ac.in Abstract Cryptography is the study of Encryption techniques related to aspects of information security, such as confidentially or privacy, data integrity and entity authentication. Today’s world, for secure data transmission via Internet or any public network, there is no alternative to cryptography. The role of Cryptography is most important in the field of network security. The main goal of cryptography is Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Non repudiation. Cryptography is widely used by governmental and intelligence agencies around the world to safe transmission of any format of messages online or offline. In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encryption by which units of plaintext are replaced with cipher text, according to a regular system; the "units" may be single letters, pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing an inverse substitution. Caesar cipher is an example of substitution cipher method. In this paper substitution cipher based cryptography algorithms are compared and performance is evaluated. Keywords Cryptography, substitution cipher, cryptanalysis, Caesar cipher, monoalphabetic cipher and Polyalphabetic cipher. Introduction A substitution...

...Romania: Age of Augustan Today, we have many resources of arts and buildings left over by Roman people. Most significantly, these resources handed over by Roman period was distinctively survived really long time, and people still think they have outstanding values for today’s studies. It brings me an attention to write this paper on the great Augustan period when it is better known for the Golden ages of Roman era. First empire begins with many civil wars within the empire by people of republicans and the great leaders like Julius Caesar. At the Caesarian time, people were greatly pleasured with wealth and strength of nation. However, when the many of nation’s senates set up an assassination of Caesar, and bring the nation back to republican nation, the nation, again, shakes in civil wars and fights amongst themselves. Therefore, heroic character rises into this chaotic time of Rome, C. Octavius. He is stepson of Caesar who was inherited in power by Caesar. By it means, people had much interest in him, and he was served in people’s favor. One fact that he is well known for many of his work in the beginning of Roman empire, I was driven to his life and accomplishments. “At a time when the whole world is still facing after-war prob-lems of rehabilitation, material and spiritual, and in the bewilder-ment of chaos needs light from every source, it occurred to me that it would be of value to review the great period of Roman reconstruction, the Augustan age, to see if from the problems...

...particular person, country, institution, etc. (…).’ Consequently, this term is opposed to free will, defined as ‘the power of an individual to make free choices, not determined by divine predestination, the laws of physical causality, fate, etc. (…).’ Human beings have thought of these antithetic concepts as something to worry about since the beginning of civilization. Because of that, playwrights have taken them into consideration when writing different plays all over the years. This essay seeks to explore the tension existing between the concepts of destiny and free will in the world of drama through the study of language as well as the analysis of character and situation development. In order to carry this research out, I will take Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (429 BC) and Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe (1604) as the basis for the analysis. Although the plays were written in different eras and consequently were inspired by very different social and historical backgrounds, the limits between destiny and free will play a very important role in both of them. But how does drama manage to explore this tension? How do playwrights convey the paradox that exists between destiny and free will? Over the course of...

...History of Cryptography Developments in cryptography | Period | Development | 2000 BC | In Egypt, hieroglyphics were used in inscriptions. | 500-600 BC | Hebrews used the atbash method for encryption. In this method, each letter of the alphabet mapped to a different letter to hide the true meaning of a word. | 487 BC | The Spartans used the scytale for encryption – messages were written on paper wrapped around a wooden rod. The paper was then unwrapped and sent. The recipient could read the message only by wrapping this paper on a rod of the same length and diameter. | 100-44 BC | Julius Caesar used an encryption method similar to the atbash method. He shifted each letter of the alphabet by a fixed number of places to send encrypted messages. | 1379 | Gabrieli di Lavinde developed the nomenclator. | 1466-1467 | The first polyalphabetic cipher was invented, which was much stronger than the nomenclator. | 1518 | Johannes Trithemius invented a steganographic cipher in which each letter was represented as a word taken from a succession of columns. | 1553 | Giovan Batista Belaso introduced the use of a passphrase as the key for a repeated polyalphabetic cipher. In 1563, Giovanni Battista Porta introduced the digraphic cipher and classified ciphers as transposition, substitution, and symbol substitution. | 1585 | Blaise de Vigenere developed the polyalphabetic substitution cipher. William Frederick Friedman published a book on cryptography, and is known as the...

...Early European Theater • The writings of this period were primarily hymns, sermons and similar theologically oriented works. • Latin became a literary medium. • Major preserves of learning are the monasteries. • 8th century Europe returned to greater stability under the Carolingian kings. ➢ Charles Martel – defeated the Moslems at Tours in 732 AD, through his innovative use of armored horsemen as the principal military force, initiating the development of knighthood. ➢ Charlemagne – extended his realm into the Slavic territories and converting non- Christians on the way. Charlemagne was crowned by the Pope and pronounced him as the successor to Constantine. The scenario was the first attempt to establish the Holy Roman Empire. • Charlemagne’s death caused Europe to break into small units isolated from each other and from the world. • Moslem controlled the Mediterranean and the Vikings, still pagans, conquered the northern seas.

He then criticizes them for playing with a skull of a dead person like it is a toy. Horatio adds in that this must be what makes them sane if they spend all day with dead bodies. They would otherwise go crazy. The gravedigger doesn’t recognize Hamlet as the prince, and tells him that he has been a gravedigger since King Hamlet beat the Fortinbras, which was when the younger Hamlet was born. Hamlet picks up a skull, and the gravedigger tells him that the skull was Yorick’s, King Hamlet’s jester. Hamlet told Horatio when he was a kid, he knew Yorick and the sight of his skull shocked him. He came to terms with the fact that all men will eventually fade, and he uses examples like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. (V, i, 67-197).

I was responsible for several parts, including designing the website, commercial, the “Letters to Portia” box, and writing my designated parts of the speech and the petition. I took the lead on the website, which was my favorite part of the project. It allowed me to be completely creative with my work and add different elements, all while learning new techniques. I am most proud of the website because I added my own personal flair to it and made it appear professional. Although I gained valuable insight about campaigning, I discovered that I prefer working alone than with a group. Throughout the project, I became frustrated with certain members of my group.
