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.

It's called an anachronism. Like an actor wearing a wristwatch in a play that takes place in the 16th century.

This passage alludes to the alleged inherent weakness of character of women. \n\nHamlet is angry that his mother, Gertrude, has married his uncle Claudius within a month of his father's death. He remembers how she seemed to adore his father and to love him above anything or anyone else.\n ' Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,\nAs if increase of appetite had grown\nBy what it fed on:'\n\nYet despite this devotion she marries his Hamlet's uncle just two months after her husband's mysterious and sudden death. \n'and yet, within a month -\nLet me not think on't - Frailty, thy name is woman! -\nA little month, or ere those shoes were old\nWith which she follow'd my poor father's body...'\n\nThe speech generalizes the attribution of weakness of character from one particular woman to womankind. In other words he transposes his mother's actions onto all women. It also symbolises how little women are to be trusted as even when they are apparantly faithful and loving they are shallow and flippant.

I believe it's originally from the movie "A Cry In the Dark" with Meryl Streep, when the dingos in Australia attacked the baby.  This was a very tearful movie.  But I must say, that in the Seinfield episode when "Elaine" said "The dingos ate your baby" to the obnoxious woman, with her Aussy accent...it was hilarious!

...maybe something a little vague but powerful? It's been so long since I read Hamlet.\n\n    It is sometimes said that man makes his own fate. This is perhaps true of Hamlet and Claudius in the Shakespeare classic Hamlet. Both men had some degree of control over their fate, and the fate of others. That they chose not to recognize it is proof of both their self destructive personalites and the genius of playwright William Shakespeare.

It's Orff's Carmina Burana.  Here's a link to one of the many recordings available.

The whole play is about how humans are at the mercy of fate!  This is why the harder Oedipus tries to deny his fate, the more he is drawn into it.

shakespearean allusion is common in the text (look at the title: “Oh brave new world that has such people in it...” from The Tempest), also utopian irony ... try that for starters

Julius Caesar Characters guide studies each character's role and motivation in this play.\n\nJulius Caesar: The victorious leader of Rome, it is the fear that he may become King and revoke the privileges of men like Cassius that leads to his death at the hands of Cassius, Brutus and their fellow conspirators. \n\nThe threat that Caesar was moving away from the ideals of the Roman republic towards an Empire ruled directly by himself is the chief reason so many senators, aristocrats and even Caesar's friend Brutus, conspired to kill him.\n\nIntroduced early in the play as a great (and arguably arrogant) leader who fears nothing, Caesar is warned by Artemidorus, The Soothsayer and wife (Calphurnia) alike not to go to the Senate on the "ides of March" the very day he is assassinated. \n\nCaesar later returns in the play as a ghost which haunts Brutus in Act V. Easily flattered by Decius Brutus (not to be confused with Brutus), Caesar appears to us as a man almost guided not so much by his own will but what he believes are the expectations his people have of "Caesar." This is why he is reluctant to show fear, Caesar, as he frequently refers to himself in the third person, fears nothing and can show no sign of weakness or indeed mortality...\n\nNote: The "ides of March" is the fifteenth of March (See Act II, Scene I, Line 58).\n\nOctavius Caesar: The adopted son of Caesar, Octavius by history, ultimately became ruler of the Roman Empire following his defeat of Mark Antony in Egypt (See Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra). In this play, Octavius with Mark Antony and Lepidus (The Second Triumvirate), destroy the forces of Brutus and Cassius on the Plains of Philippi, which results in the death of both these conspirators (Act V).\n\nMarcus Antonius (Mark Antony): One of the Triumvirs (leaders) who rule Rome following Caesar's assassination. Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) is famous in this play for his speech, which turns the Romans against Brutus following his group's assassination of Caesar. Famous for the immortal lines "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;" (Act III, Scene II, Line 79), Mark Antony with fellow Triumvirs, Octavius and Lepidus later defeat Brutus and Cassius on the Plains of Philippi in Act V.\n\nM. Aemilius Lepidus: The last of the Triumvirs, this old man holds little real power and is used in Mark Antony's own words as a loyal, trusted man "Meet [fit] to be sent on errands:" (Act IV, Scene I, Line 13). \n\nCicero: A well-known orator (public speaker) and Senator, Cicero is killed by the Triumvirs (Mark Antony, Octavius and Lepidus) following Caesar's assassination.\n\nPublius: A Senator who travels with Caesar to the Senate House the day Caesar is killed, he witnesses Caesar's assassination. Though deeply "confounded" or confused and shaken by the assassination of Caesar (Act III, Scene I, Line 86), he is used by Brutus to tell the citizens of Rome that Caesar aside, no one else will be hurt (Act III, Scene I, Lines 89-91).\n\nPopilius Lena: The Senator who terrifies Cassius by telling Cassius that he hopes his "enterprise [assassination attempt] today may thrive" or be successful just as Caesar goes into the Senate house on the "ides of March" (Act III, Scene I, Line 13).\n\nMarcus Brutus: The most complex character in this play, Brutus is one of the men who assassinate Caesar in the Senate. Brutus is complex, because he does not kill Caesar for greed, envy nor to preserve his social position like so many of the other conspirators against Caesar. This Brutus makes very clear in his speech in Act III, Scene II (Lines 12-76), when he explains his actions as being for the good of Rome. \n\nUnlike the other conspirators, Brutus is in fact a dear friend of Caesar's but kills his beloved friend not for who he is, but what he could become as a King. It is for this reason that when Brutus dies by su

Roughly translated, it goes something like this (one of your words is a bit off, so I had to guess):\n\nBeware those men!  They will certainly drag us into a neighboring house and kill us there.  But in error, for Marcus having been upset by fear after he heard Sextus shouting, fell to the ground and lay in the inexorable dirt.\n\n"Hold on!" one of the robbers shouted.  "Where do you go, small one?  What is your name? Aren't you the son of a senator? Isn't your name Marcus Cornelius?"\n\nTo whom Marcus replied, "What do you want, accursed ones?  I have no money.  Do not beat me.  If you hurt me, my father will certainly punish you."\n\nBut the robber interrupted, "Be silent, boy.  You are our captive and (radibis? - we will not return) you to your father.  No one will be able to save you now.  For I will kill you myself."

I can't really say because we read it in play form in my English class and I played Tybalt so I kinda feel like I shouldn't dis him.\n\nI don't have the play right in front of me but I think he's arranged for them to get married but this will later become Wednesday after Juliet apologizes to Capulet for being so against him; he thought it was because of Tybalt's death but it was because Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt.\n\nHe describes her as still beautiful even though she may be dead (which she isn't). He says something about the color of roses not being gone from her lips or something like that.\n\nThe agony Romeo and Juliet's death caused their families was tremendous and showed their families that fighting was not the answer to things. The loss of one's only child is not worth the dumb excuse of fighting between families.\n\nShakespeare never gave anyone birthdates in the play since it didn't really matter, but we can estimate that Romeo was about 17 or 18 from accounts of historians who examined the play with great care.

I think it showed Hamlet's stroke of genius (not insanity)in exposing his mother and uncle.Sort of an ...."oops,did I do that?"
