Why does Caesar insist on going out to the Senate? Which aspect of Caesar's character is revealed by his action?

In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, there are many omens and warnings that should have prevented Caesar from going to the Senate that day. First, he was warned by a soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March." Then, his wife Calpurnia has a bad dream that Caesar was murdered. Other bad omens have presented themselves as well.

However, Caesar vows to go anyway. He ignores his wife's pleading and says that "<span>Cowards die many times before their deaths. </span><span>The valiant never taste of death but once." This shows his pride -- he is not a coward and he will not be taken for one.

At last, however, Calpurnia convinces him to stay home. When Decius comes to deliver a message to the Senate, Caesar makes it clear that he he CAN go -- he is choosing not to go. Again, this shows his pride, as he does not want to appear sick or weak.

But then Decius provides some powerful news: he tells Caesar that Senate was to crown him that day. Although this is an outright lie told to Caesar just to get him out of the house, Caesar is swayed by the promise of more power. This shows his greed for power, or his ambition. Had he not cared so much about a crown, he would have stayed home that day and likely kept his life.

Decius also implies that, if Caesar waits, the Senate might change their mind. He also hints that the Senate will laugh at Caesar and think him scared since he was so easily swayed by his wife's nightmares. Hearing these words, Caesar is convinced. He will now allow others to think of him as weak or scared. He tells Calpurnia he is going. And, although he does not know it, he will never return home again.

yulyashka [42]
Hello!

You should take the creative writing you've done in the past 12 weeks and explain a little bit about some selected parts. Tell them about your favourite part, how long it took you to write, and what your writing was about.

Be sure to include an introduction/hook, and paragraphs 1, 2, and 3. Paragraph 1 will begin the essay. "I'll be reviewing the creative writing I've done in these past 12 weeks, today!"

Paragraph 2 is like the middle, where you're explaining the main parts of the essay.

Paragraph 3 is the conclusion. This is where you will conclude your essay. "...and that was my essay on creative writing!"

Good Luck!

Which character do you feel is the most sympathetic towards Minnie Wright? Explain your answer using evidence from the text of t
kumpel [21]

:Mrs. Hale is the most sympathetic to Minnie Wright because she knows about Minnie's unhappy marriage to Mr. Wright. Her sympathy is also driven by her own guilt over not visiting Minnie, despite being her neighbor. Her sympathy is also evident when Mrs. Hale asks Mrs. Peters to lie to Minnie about her preserves:

MRS HALE: I might have known she needed help! I know how things can be—for women. I tell you, it's queer, Mrs Peters. We live close together and we live far apart. We all go through the same things—it's all just a different kind of the same thing, (brushes her eyes, noticing the bottle of fruit, reaches out for it) If I was you, I wouldn't tell her her fruit was gone. Tell her it ain't. Tell her it's all right. Take this in to prove it to her. She—she may never know whether it was broke or not.Explanation:
