Enemy is a noun for a person who opposes an individual or organization. Shakespeare explains that a person’s enemy is their “outward conscience” (Shakespeare “King Henry V” Act IIII scene 1.6-8). Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (TTJC) by William Shakespeare construct diverse characters to show what a foe truly is and how the enemy develops. Animal Farm and TTJC inform readers what an enemy is and what he/she operates. The antagonists in TTJC are the suspicious conspirators. Casca was the first to stab Caesar. Then the rest of the conspirators tagged along and ended with Brutus (Act III scene 1.1284-1285). Cassius managed to manipulate Brutus so he could turn against Caesar, and Brutus terribly regretted it till
“…we are uncharitable to ourselves; every man is his (own) greatest enemy, and as it were, his own executioner.” Sir Thomas Brown in Religion Medici. To me this analogue reminds me of how teenage girls and boys act. Hormonal, confused adolescents are mean to each other to gain popularity, however they are being mean to themselves by acting as someone they are not and losing their true friends. In other words, people’s inner enemy and hatred is hurting the people around them, which is losing the innocence and good inside someone. One’s inner enemy is caused by their sins and jealousy for another’s possessions and personality. Having jealousy for another person destroys the true love and friendship for the so-called enemy.

Like all books, Animal Farm the book, is different from Animal Farm the movie. One of the reasons is the characters. Some of the characters that were in the book were not in the movie. Those were characters like Mr. Whymper, Clover, and Mollie. In the movie, Jessie, the dog that was only mentioned in the first chapter, replaced Clover. Jessie narrated the story, was the main character, and was in the story the entire time.

William Shakespeare has written many plays that touched millions of people throughout the centuries. His works are still the most controversial ones favored by many Literature critics because his plays generate spontaneous debates on issues such as friendship, revenge, human ambitions and moralities that lead to dynamic discussion among people. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, friendship vs. duty is one of the major themes that is developed. One's struggle over the choice between friendship and duty is depicted through the main character, Brutus, as he battles himself to choose between his duty to carry out people's will and his own conscious hitting on his faithfulness to his best friend Caesar. Although Brutus himself was skeptical if he made the right decision, he joins the conspiracy that plans for the murder of their leader Julius Caesar. The tragic aspect of the play Julius Caesar is that even though Brutus ‘s motives were immaculate, his fear toward Caesar's ambition, Cassius' persuasion, and his tragic flaw, idealism deluded him to make a tragic mistake of assassinating Caesar.
“Romeo and Juliet” is one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. The antagonists in Shakespeare’s plays are usually easy to pick out, however in “Romeo and Juliet” it is not quite as clear because there are so many.
