6. i know "thou shalt see me at philippi" was just kind of foretelling what was going to happen.  When the ghost came in, if i recall correctly, he had said many things that were going to happen in the near future.  That was one of them.  \n\n9. I'm pretty sure it was Antony because his final speech to the crowd got everyone to turn on the conspirators.

It's all about jealousy.  Cassius and Caesar had been boyhood friends, and Cassius had actually saved Caesar from drowning as a boy, but now that Caesar is the toast of the town, Cassius feels his old friend has forgotten about him.  Brutus is the one who attaches noble ends to the destruction of Caesar; for Cassius, it is strictly a personal vendetta.

Julius Caesar should have stopped at Act 3... but personal opinions aside... have you read Act 5?\n\nHave you read about all the bodies dropping onto their swords?  Does this surprise you?  Does this change your opinion of the men who thought they were killing Caesar to save their country?\n\nNot gonna do your homework for you.  If you're confused, try asking better questions.

Shakespeare plays often used another location for issues to be resolved. It is a technique that he chose in order to separate from the place of conflict where the characters work their way through it to a resolution.  \n\nCheck out Cliff or Sparks Notes.

haha i just read that. \n\ni can kinda answer some of them\n\n1. it's a comedy. i don't have time to answer the rest.\n2. there was only 1 scene i knew had music and that was when Portia and Nerissa are singing when Bassiano is choosing a box. (Portia wants him to find the right one and he does) so i guess it's for want or soemthing?\n3. gold is one of the wrong boxes it says summat like "he who chooses me will get all he deserves" so basically whoever chooses it doesn't get the woman because they are greedy and thinking only of themselves. The second time might be where Shylock is so locked on to his worldly possesions and is planning to kill antonio for his money. I dunno\n4. So you know that Shylock and Antonio had a deal that if Antonio doesn't pay him by a certain day, Shylock gets to remove a pound of flesh closest to antonio's heart.There's justice versus mercy in the scene where Shylock is about to take the pound of flesh from Antonio and Portia (disguised as a man) first tries to get him to show mercy to Antonio and forget about their deal and Shylock refuses. Then Portia points out to him that he said a pound of flesh not a pound of flesh and blood so the tables are turned and Shylock is in trouble for deliberately trying to kill a man because taking a pound of flesh would definately kill him. And the justice is that for trying to kill Antonio, Shylock has to turn in all his possessions and become a Christian. I think anyways.

Brutus is saying they must sacrifice Julius Caesar for the good of Rome and the empire.  Brutus is warning that jealousy and resentment are motives for BUTCHERING Caesar, but that those are the wrong motives for pursuing violence.\n\nShakespeare may have been using this elegant, exact wording to hint to the theatre audience that Brutus was testing Cassius to see if Cassius was a patriot or a selfish and ambitious senator.

King Lear is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies.   The whole play is about lack of compromise.  \n\nGoneril poisoned her sister Regan and then killed herself.  These sites should be quite helpful to you.  Best of luck with your work.

Do your own homework. If you had a question about one quote where I could believe that you read the play but forgot the context of a single line, I would help you. As it is, you need to do your own work. Them's the rules. \n\nFurther, your questions should read: Can I get what these quotes mean and WHO is speaking to WHOM? \n\nClearly, English is not your favorite subject. But suck it up. You deserve no credit for work you ask others to do for you.

I'm not sure if the first question was even written correctly.  In fact, if I remember right, Montressor echoes Fortunato's screams to mock him as he is being enclosed in the cellar.  \n\nSecond, again if I remember correctly, Montressor had probably hidden the materials he would need to entomb Forutnato.  \n\nTo have such friends. . .\n\nShould've clarified about the friends part.  Doesn't really apply to story at all, however, they did end up at Montressor's after a drunken afternoon of gentlemanly debauchery as they were quite into their intoxication when Fortunato is enticed with a rare and precious cask of Amontillado. . . or so the story went.

Cassio, commanding the night watch during the time of feasting and drinking, takes his orders from Othello, who directs the soldiers to drink with moderation and keep the peace. Cassio and Iago, his second in command, will see to this. Then Othello and Desdemona retire to bed, the first night they will spend together since their marriage.\n\nAlone, Iago makes suggestive remarks about Desdemona to Cassio, which Cassio turns aside; then Iago invites him to drink. Cassio declines, but Iago wheedles and urges him, until Cassio finally relents. Iago spurs Roderigo into a fight with Cassio; others join in and Iago sends Roderigo to ring the alarm bell, waking Othello and bringing him and his armed men to the spot. Othello demands to know who started the fight, and feigning reluctance, Iago names Cassio. Othello relieves Cassio of his post on the spot. Then he and Desdemona return to bed.\n\nIago advises Cassio to ask Desdemona to speak on his behalf with her husband. Cassio agrees, and Iago uses his wife, Emilia, to arrange a private meeting between Cassio and Desdemona.

Postnote: Ritter (bellow) has a good point ...you should read the whole epic....Yet, I know what you might be feeling about reading the Illiad....'cause I had to read it too for an ancient Lit class...I also know that it is a pain in the butt...So I decided to help you...Here are the things you need\n\nCharacters:\n\nThe Achaeans (also called the “Argives” or “Danaans”)\nAchilles - The son of the military man Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis. The most powerful warrior in the Iliad, Achilles commands the Myrmidons, soldiers from his homeland of Phthia in Greece. Proud and headstrong, he takes offense easily and reacts with blistering indignation when he perceives that his honor has been slighted. Achilles’ wrath at Agamemnon for taking his war prize, the maiden Briseis, forms the main subject of the Iliad.\nAgamemnon (also called “Atrides”)  -  King of Mycenae and leader of the Achaean army; brother of King Menelaus of Sparta. Arrogant and often selfish, Agamemnon provides the Achaeans with strong but sometimes reckless and self-serving leadership. Like Achilles, he lacks consideration and forethought. Most saliently, his tactless appropriation of Achilles’ war prize, the maiden Briseis, creates a crisis for the Achaeans, when Achilles, insulted, withdraws from the war.\nAgamemnon \nPatroclus - Achilles’ beloved friend, companion, and advisor, Patroclus grew up alongside the great warrior in Phthia, under the guardianship of Peleus. Devoted to both Achilles and the Achaean cause, Patroclus stands by the enraged Achilles but also dons Achilles’ terrifying armor in an attempt to hold the Trojans back.\nOdysseus - A fine warrior and the cleverest of the Achaean commanders. Along with Nestor, Odysseus is one of the Achaeans’ two best public speakers. He helps mediate between Agamemnon and Achilles during their quarrel and often prevents them from making rash decisions.\nDiomedes (also called “Tydides”) -  The youngest of the Achaean commanders, Diomedes is bold and sometimes proves impetuous. After Achilles withdraws from combat, Athena inspires Diomedes with such courage that he actually wounds two gods, Aphrodite and Ares.\nGreat Ajax - An Achaean commander, Great Ajax (sometimes called “Telamonian Ajax” or simply “Ajax”) is the second mightiest Achaean warrior after Achilles. His extraordinary size and strength help him to wound Hector twice by hitting him with boulders. He often fights alongside Little Ajax, and the pair is frequently referred to as the “Aeantes.”\nLittle Ajax - An Achaean commander, Little Ajax is the son of Oileus (to be distinguished from Great Ajax, the son of Telamon). He often fights alongside Great Ajax, whose stature and strength complement Little Ajax’s small size and swift speed. The two together are sometimes called the “Aeantes.”\nNestor - King of Pylos and the oldest Achaean commander. Although age has taken much of Nestor’s physical strength, it has left him with great wisdom. He often acts as an advisor to the military commanders, especially Agamemnon. Nestor and Odysseus are the Achaeans’ most deft and persuasive orators, although Nestor’s speeches are sometimes long-winded.\nMenelaus -  King of Sparta; the younger brother of Agamemnon. While it is the abduction of his wife, Helen, by the Trojan prince Paris that sparks the Trojan War, Menelaus proves quieter, less imposing, and less arro-gant than Agamemnon. Though he has a stout heart, Menelaus is not among the mightiest Achaean warriors.\nIdomeneus - King of Crete and a respected commander. Idomeneus leads a charge against the Trojans in Book 13.\nMachaon - A healer. Machaon is wounded by Paris in Book 11.\nCalchas - An important soothsayer. Calchas’s identification of the cause of the plague ravaging the Achaean army in Book 1 leads inadvertently to the rift between Agamemnon and Achilles that occupies the first nineteen books of the Iliad.\nPeleus -  Achilles’ father and the grandson

what did Abraham Lincoln say to his wife b4 going to the play.\n\nGreat, I need theatre tickets like I need a hole in the head!!!!!!!!

It is sarcastic. In the eyes of the Romans, Caesar is perfect. In his own eyes he sees himself as a God. He is not satisfied with power, but always wants more, leading to one of the themes of the play: Greed is insatiable.
