Julius Caesar Character Analysis

        In the play "Julius Caesar", Julius Caesar is presented as a superstitious, arrogant person during the first scene during a race that he spectates. He comes off as arrogant because although he is superstitious, he is confident in himself that the soothsayer's prediction of his death is not true. Since Caesar is also a very popular political figure in Rome, and his power makes him a person that is very hated and envied by other politicians that are power hungry. Cassius, in particular, is plotting against Julius in order to bring the emperor to his death, in order to seize power. Cassius tries to convince Brutus that Caesar is nothing but a mortal since is treated like a god, but Julius gets ill like any other person, and he is even deaf in one ear. Meanwhile, Julius does not become suspicious of other characters' actions and it shows that he is a little unobservant of the others' actions.
