"Cassius has a lean and hunger look; he thinks too much: such men are dangerous"
Antony is a very loyal friend to Caesar
"Et tu, Brute?"
Soothsayer told Caesar to "Beware the ides of March"
"Antonious, Forget not in your speed to touch Calphurnia; for out elders say the barren, touched in this holy chase, shake off their sterile curse."

Betrayal Quote Act III

Quote: Brutus : "Octavius, I have seen more days than you. And though we lay these honors on this man To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads, He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, To groan and sweat under the business, Either led or driven, as we point the way. And having brought our treasure where we will, Then take we down his load and turn him off, Like to the empty ass, to shake his ears And graze in commons." Modern meaning.. Octavius I am older than you. Even though we are giving this man all these honors it is just so that he can share some of the blame for what we have done. He is like a jackass carrying our gold-wherever we go he will follow whether pushed or led. Once we are where we want to be we shall set him free and let him graze in the towns pastures like all the other jackasses. Analysis In this quote Brutus' true side is beginning to show. The man who started this play as a man who cared about the people around him is now turning into a man who is just using his people. "To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads.." This is a very selfish statement coming from Brutus. He is beginning to betray the people of Rome, who he once told where very important to him and he loved each one of them dearly. -Darbit101

Betrayal Similies and Metaphor

Betrayal is the venom of the conspirators that kills Caesar without any warning. Betrayal is like a menacing rain cloud that hovers over Caesar waiting to explode. Brutus is like a fickle college student, always changing his views, being persuaded and wanting power. They both change their long standing views quite quickly. Glam Miss

Betrayal Poem

The first stanza of the poem of “True Colors” written by Bryan P. Mix, is about life-changing events caused by betrayal. Mix describes a feeling of grief with the lines “feel the intruding lead that hangs my head in pain,” which uses “intruding lead” as a metaphor to convey the strong emotion to the reader. In the second stanza, Mix explains how betrayal affects people negatively even when they were not involved in the act. This relates to Mark Antony and the fact that he was not at the scene of Caesar’s death but was still strongly affected by it and his life was changed by it. Later in the poem, Mix talks about how a traitor may act normal yet again around his or her friends, but they “can never conceal the true colors I saw.” Cassius and Brutus both were friendly to Mark Antony after assassinating Caesar, but Antony reacted parallel to the poem. He rejected their friendship because he cannot forgive their betrayal of Caesar. Spenczar and Phamulous. Mix, Bryan. "True Colors." Web. 1 Apr 2011. .

Betrayal Song (Eminem)

Betrayal can be found in many things, from music to plays which is what I will be comparing. In Eminems' song "Cleanin out my Closet" he talks about how he needed his mom throughout his life. But, she was never there for hin and never really wanted him. Eminem feels that he has been betrayed by his mom. How could someone who is so close to you, betray you??

I can relate this to Caesar because Caesar starts to loose a close friend Brutus. Eminem and Caesar both will feel the same emotion of betrayal by someone close. As Eminem grew stronger in the business of music, tours and record deals his mom pushed him even farther away shown by these lyrics " remember when Ronnie died and you wished it was me, well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be." As Caesar starts to get more powerful more people were persuading Brutus to bring Caesar down and betray him. Even though they had a close relationship.

"Cleanin out my Closet"



Have you ever been hated or discriminated against, I have, i've been protested and demostraited against. Picket signs for my wicked rhymes. Look at the times. Sick as the mind of the mothaf***in' kid that's behind all this commotion. Emotions run deep as ocean's explodin.' Tempers flaring from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin' Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell as long as I'm breathin' Keep kickin' @$$ in the mornin', an takin' names in the evening. Leavem with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth. See, they can trigger me but they never figure me out. Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now. Ain't you mama, I'ma make you look so ridiculous now.


Chorus 2X

I'm sorry mama. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet.


I got some skeletons in my closet and I don't know if no one knows it. So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it, I'ma expose it. I'll take you back to 73 before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' CD. I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple months. My father must have had his panties in a bunch, cuz he split. I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye. I look at Hailie and I couldn't picture leavin' her side. Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try, to make it work with her atleast for Hailies sake. I maybe made of some mistakes but I'm only human. But I'm man enough to face them today. What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb, but the smartest s*** I did was take them bullets out of that gun. It's my life, I'd like to welcome ya'll to the Eminem Show


Chorus 2X


Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition. Take a second to listen for you think this record is dissin', But put yourself in my position. Just try to envision witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen, b****in' that someone's always goin' through her her purse and s*** missin'. Going through public housing systems, victim of Munchausen's syndrome. My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't til I grew up, now I blew up. It makes you sick to ya stomach, doesn't it?? Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma? So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma? But guess what, yer gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely. An' Nathans gettin' up so quick, he's gonna know that your phoney. And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful. But you'll never see her, she wont even be at your funeral. See what hurts me the most is you wont admit you was wrong. Keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom. But how dare you try to take what you didnt help me to get. Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? Well, guess what, I am dead. Dead to you as can be.

Brutus is betrayed by Cassius, he seems to like him to his face but as soon as he he's away from Brutus he begins to talk bad about him.
Epilepsy, Cassius was telling all of Caesar's secret weaknesses, making him look unworthy of being king.
Time will tell how Betrayal will become a dominant part of this play.
Royalty and power that Caesar has, makes Cassius go form being one of his close, life saving friends to an enemy trying to sway everyones views.
All of the citizens betrayed Pompey by supporting Caesar when he came home and celebrating.
"Yond Cassiushas a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous."
"Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber, Did i the tired Caesar. And this man Is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature and must bend his body..."
"Let no images be hung with Caesar's trophies." Flavius didn't want Caesar to be welcomed home while Pompey was forgotten.
