You made me read it, and You...Thanks to you, Fanda! You made me read it, and You have a great taste :-)<br /><br />I agree Antony's speech is one of the greatest passages in the play, as it shows the power of words in shaping people's attitudes and beliefs.. A fearful speech, actually. <br /><br />You may be surprised, but the sentence I particulary liked in the play is when Brutus said to the gods: "O ye gods,<br />Render me worthy of this noble wife!". I liked it because, as you can see in the play, there is a kind of gender bias, where women were somehow described as inferior to men; but in this sentence, Brutus gave a superior place to his wife.. LOL.. Although I am a man, but I don't like gender discrimination.. LOL.<br /><br />My favorite plays are Othello (I love Verdi's Opera too), Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, The Tempest, and MidSummer Night's Dream.Maan Khttps://twitter.com/MaanK2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-22035736540833123022013-05-14T15:42:35.366+07:002013-05-14T15:42:35.366+07:00I'm glad you liked JC too, one of my favorite ...I'm glad you liked JC too, one of my favorite passage was Antony's speech: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears..."

I really loved it, and I trust your taste <br /><br />The play is an art product that consists of historical, artistic, language and rhetoric, psychological, and supernatural (Gothic) elements and dimensions. <br /><br />Shakespeare was a genius, who had the power to turn the play from a specific historical play into a work with universal themes and concepts. In another way of speaking, although it is about a specific historical event in the Roman era, namely, the assassination of Julius Caesar, but it is also about the human nature and human condition. It is about the human aspiration throughout history to achieve a utopian world, where liberty, freedom, and peace prevail.<br /><br />What I particularly like is the way Shakespeare reveal the powerful and critical role of rhetoric in changing people’s (mob) attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and actions, which, of course, takes place during a critical time (after the shock of a traumatic event; the assassination of Julius Caesar). In such a moment, people are a bit confused, numbed, and are unable to get the clear idea or the meaning of the situation, which make them particularly vulnerable. I also like how Shakespeare presents his characters in a way that shows both the good and evil in them, emphasizing the notion that no person is 100% evil.<br /><br />The character I liked the most was Brutus, who was a noble person standing on firm ground, but I person I liked the less was Marcus Antonius because, to some extent he was a climber and an opportunist. <br /><br />Finally, I find some elements, such as the soothsayer, omens, and ghost, from another plays like Hamlet and Macbeth, and might help build familiarity.<br /><br />Maan K (https://twitter.com/MaanK2)<br />Maan Khttps://twitter.com/MaanK2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-86603470396648657052012-12-31T09:28:03.201+07:002012-12-31T09:28:03.201+07:00Fanda I put the link for the January giveway in Mi...Fanda I put the link for the January giveway in Mister Linky.
