Order nowĪll the senators join to justly plot the murder of Caesar, but they don’t complete it without consequences. The senators begin to turn on Caesar, just like he does against Pompey. After killing a respected member of the government and taking over, there is bound to be criticism. The reader sees Caesar’s downfall play out.
If Caesar wouldn’t have been as greedy for the power, he would have been alive at the end of the play. Most people still applauded him, but others saw his bluff. Then, when he is awarded with the power, he turned down the crown three times to seem humble, “He put it by thrice, every time gentler than other and at every putting by mine honest neighbors shouted” (1:2:228-230). If Caesar hadn’t been so ambitious for power, he wouldn’t have gone into battle with Pompey and ultimately taken the throne from him. Caesar is now taking Pompey’s place, and was being celebrated, when he killed the people’s ruler. He had been involved in the death of another member, Pompey, whom was loved by the Romans: “O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey?” (1:1:38-39). Caesar ruled in the triumvirate with two powerful men, and when it came crashing down, Caesar was the only one lucky enough to stay alive. Julius Caesar is a character who inflicts death upon himself. Fate, as a theme in this play, is involved in many of the characters’ lives. Shakespeare uses characters in this play to illustrate the theme of fate and to project how easily it can be tampered with. People also have control of their own lives and the ability to make decisions, affecting them and others.
In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, multiple characters experience a deadly fate, but it is not completely unavoidable. Fate is inevitable, unavoidable, and ultimately ends in death.
