“I could be well moved, if I were as you.If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.But I am constant as the Northern Star,Of whose true fixed and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament.” - Caesar (Act 3, Scene I) line 65 page 52.

In this quote, Caesar says he is like the Northern Star, and likewise is always steady. Caesar means that while others might be influenced by requests, he stays firm/determined and won't change his mind.

"He thinks too much: such men are dangerous." - Caesar (Act I, Scene II)

This quote shows that ambition is feared amongst the Romans because it is what motivates a leader to the pursuit of power and corruption.

“The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power” - Brutus (Act 2, Scene 1).

This shows how people can lose focus of their original goal because of power.

to Brutus (Act I, Scene II):

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Cassius says that people are responsible for their own actions and situations, and he rejects the idea that their fate is controlled by the stars. This quote emphasizes the belief in free will and personal responsibility.

Brutus to Cassius (Act IV, Scene III):

"There is a tide in the affairs of men / Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; / Omitted, all the voyage of their life / Is bound in shallows and in miseries."

Brutus highlights the importance of taking opportunities, suggesting that success and failure depend on what a person does. This shows that free will and making decisions at the right time shape one's future.

Cassius

Julius Caesar to Calpurnia (Act II, Scene II):

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; / The valiant never taste of death but once."

Caesar believes in facing fate with bravery, saying that how we deal with life and death is up to us. This quote shows the idea that we have the power to choose how we handle our destiny.

"To this dead man than you shall see me pay.— I shall find time, Cassius; I shall find time" (Brutus)

This shows the theme "Public and Private ". This is because Brutus shows that he can not mourn in public and must find time privately to mourn.

"No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead"

This shows the theme of "Public and Private" when Portia died, Brutus could not show emotions and sorrow since he needed to Fulfill his duty of being a soldier. This relates to public and private themes since Brutus could not express his emotions

"What mean you, Caesar? Think you to walk forth? You shall not stir out of your house today"

This shows the theme of "Public and Private" since Calpurnia asks Caesar not to leave the house after a dream she had. Calphurnia, Caesar's wife, wants him to stay home because she is worried about his safety. However, Caesar feels embarrassed to tell the people he couldn't come because his wife told him to stay home for his safety. He thinks he must go out to show strength to the people. Ignoring Calpurnia's warning leads to his death, showing the risks of putting public image above personal safety.

"O Cassius, Brutus gave the word too early,

Who, having some advantage on Octavius,

Took it too eagerly. His soldiers fell to spoil,

Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed" (Shakespeare Act 5, Scene 3).

Brutus gave the orders too early and Anthony's team surrounded Brutus' - this is false information. Cassius killed himself because he thought Brutus was surrounded and was going to lose. However, it turned out that Brutus had the upper hand on his side of the battlefield. So, Cassius killed himself for nothing due to a case of misinterpretation.

'Now Titinius! Now some light. O, he lights too. He’s ta’en'

This quote shows misinterpretation since Cassius' servant saw Titinius surrounded and assumed he was taken, which Cassius believed and, because of it, killed himself. Because they misinterpreted Titinius' situation, Cassius died.

"The dream is all amiss interpreted, it was a vision fair and fortunate" Act I Scene iii

Decius Brutus tells Caesar the statement after Calpurnia's nightmare of Caesar's death to convince Caesar to attend the senate.

"not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more" (Act 3, Scene 2). This quote portrays Brutus' honor by putting the needs of Rome above his personal relationships. He is loyal to his principles and to the citizens of Rome. (Tatiana)

Brutus: "If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i’ th’ other And I will look on both indifferently; For let the gods so speed me as I love The name of honor more than I fear death" (Act 1 Scene 2)

In this quote, Brutus expresses his willingness to face death if it means acting honorably for the good of Rome. His commitment to honor and the welfare of the state is depicted as being stronger than his fear of death. (Ahmad)

Quote: "Cowards die many times before their deaths; / The valiant never taste of death but once." (Act 2, Scene 2, Julius Caesar)

Explanation: In this scene, Julius Caesar speaks to his wife Calpurnia, who has had nightmares about his death and is urging him to stay home. Caesar dismisses her fears, expressing his belief that death is inevitable and that it is more honorable to face it bravely than to live in fear. This quote illustrates Caesar's view on honor, suggesting that true honor lies in facing danger and death with courage and dignity. This ties into the broader theme of honor in the play, where characters grapple with their sense of duty, reputation, and the legacy they leave behind. (Ali)

"And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets. O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, And I do fear them" Act 2 Scene 2- Calpurnia page 43

Calphurnia's words reflect the theme of the supernatural in "Julius Caesar" by highlighting the presence of omens and supernatural events leading up to Caesar's assassination. In this quote, Calphurnia describes hearing ghosts shrieking and squealing in the streets, which suggests a disturbance in the natural order of things.

"Enter the Ghost of Caesar.
Ha, who comes here?—
I think it is the weakness of mine eyes
That shapes this monstrous apparition.
It comes upon me.—Art thou any thing?
Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil," Act 4 Scene 3 - Brutus page 88

Brutus's encounter with the ghost of Caesar reflects the supernatural elements present in "Julius Caesar." In this scene, Brutus is visited by the ghost of Caesar, which appears before him as a manifestation of his guilt and inner turmoil.

"Men all in fire walk up and down the streets."

In "Julius Caesar," Casca's line about men walking in flames symbolizes the supernatural disturbances preceding Caesar's assassination. It adds an eerie atmosphere, hinting at the chaos and impending doom in Rome. This supernatural element underscores the play's themes of betrayal and fate.

Soothsayer Beware the ides of March.

Caesar He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass.”

1. "Beware the ides of March" - Soothsayer (Act 1, Scene 2)

2. "If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live; If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive." - Artemidorus (Act 2, Scene 3)

3. "What mean you, Caesar? Think you to walk forth?You shall not stir out of your house today" (Act 2, Scene 2).

→ This is linked to the theme topic fate since Calpurnia's dream and the omens show fate by foreshadowing Caesar's unavoidable assassination.
