Throughout centuries many people always provoke someone from doing situations they will regret and others have their way of planning a scheme to try to hurt another. In the reading Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare; According to Calpurnia she is persuading Caesar not to go to the capitol because she believes there are many threating omens and is trying to make him understand that he might get hurt. However, Decius Brutus is trying to be sly and insisting him to go or not he will let the others down. This shows that both Brutus and Calpurnia are trying to persuade him in a both positive and negative way; but it’s all up to Caesar to know if it’s great idea. Calpurnia is very frightened that a war might go on and Caesar might get hurt; therefore she’s insecure of letting him go to the Capitol because she has overheard other men talking about how it can get. For example, Calpurnia says, “The noise of battle hurtled in the air, Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan,” This is describing how those wars are like and what it can lead too. Her plan is too try to get Caesar not to go. On the contrary, Decius is doing the opposite he wants Caesar to attend the Capitol and tells him if he doesn’t go the people will be disappointed. This is important because, he is in two situations and both of them have their pros and cons. Furthermore he states that at the end if God’s choose he will die.
Another essential point is that Calpurnia not just overheard from the men but also she seen horrible things happen when that starts. According to Calpurnia she states, “Recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch.” In addition she believes that if he goes that might happen to him. Nevertheless, Decius explains that if Caesar doesn’t go that that the mind might change of other and he will not become king. This is important because, he is putting the people against him and how they will feel if he doesn’t go and that will make Caesar change his point of view. Equally important, Calpurnia could bribe Caesar and show him what will happen if he goes and they try to be slick with him and start a war or try to hurt him. For example Calpurnia shows that that she is afraid and this gives a sign to Caesar that maybe she might be right and he shouldn’t go. On the other hand Decius could easily persuade Caesar by telling him about the people and if he does not attend he will not become and people will see him a different way. Ultimately what’s at stake here is, that Caesar had many ways to decide but they are both very tricky decisions . It has been shown that, Decius argument would be stronger because he gets him were it matters to him most. He wants to become KING and in order to do that he needs the people’s opinion. As for Calpurnia she just explains what she has heard but never really experienced in being in the Capitol with Caesar. To sum up, I think this will end in a tragedy of Caesar death and Decius has set him up the whole time.
