Control Of Destiny In Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar has a lot mixed feeling about different people and different events. Some people say that the characters control their destiny. Every decision they make or the friends they choose will guide them in with right path or wrong path in life. The conspirators will guide you down the wrong path because they aren't good people and if you end up making them mad you could end of dying just like Julius Caesar. In the play Julius Caesar you are in complete control of your destiny.

In one of the first scenes the readers see that the characters are in control of their destiny. When Julius Caesar and the whole town is gathered and the soothsayer says: "beware the Ides of March Caesar" (1.2 28-29) Caesar knows now that he should be cautious about what the man is saying, but he makes the wrong decision and chooses to ignore the man. On the Ides of March he is murdered. He was in control of his destiny and he ignored a sign and he paid for it. If he would have thought things out and took into the fact that he is a new ruler and some people might be out to get him and wantto get rid of him. He could’ve pieced everything

together and figured out what was going on. If he would’ve been cautious he could have been stayed alive and ruled Rome. That is one scene where the readers see that everyone is in control of their destinies.
From another perspective Cassius thinks that Rome is in control of their own fates by making the decision to take down Caesar. Cassius says: “Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. (1.2.146-148)” They have been tied down to one man for way too long with one man and he has way too much power and he is starting to abuse it. So all of Rome have to make the decision to get rid of Caesar or stay with him and let him lead them on an unexplained path. Also this is tied into the conspirators because they have to control their destinies by either taking out Caesar themselves or letting the people Rome doing it themselves. That is another scene where it shows that in the play Julius Caesar people are in control of their own destinies.
Another scene where we see the characters control their own destinies is when Calphurnia has the dream about Caesar and doesn’t want Caesar to leave the house because it is too dangerous. Caesar says: “Nor heaven nor earth have been at peace tonight. Thrice hath Calphurnia in her sleep cried out. Help, ho, they murder Caesar! (2.2.1-3)” A second time in the play Julius Caesar is warned that there is something that will hurt him and he makes the right decision at first, but then he is talked out of that decision and decides to go out to the town. He has had multiple chances to save his life in the play and never makes the right decision. So, saying that he had multiple chances that most definitely means that all of the characters in the book control their destiny of their life. That is the last example of how in the play Julius Caesar that everyone is in control of their destiny.
In conclusion, there are many ways to show that all the characters in the play Julius Caesar are in complete control of their destiny.

Julius Caesar had two chances too by the soothsayer and Calphurnia told him to be careful and he didn’t do what they said and he ended up dying. Also Cassius said all of Rome controlled their destiny with who they want to rule because he thinks Caesar is bad and wants him gone. This book can connectto our everyday lives a lot more than people think because people are alays trying to get rid of the people they don’t like. Not going as far to kill them, but to get them out of their life. People have to take advice people give them and use it to their advantage because people know stuff people don’t and it could really help someone. Everyone’s decisions form their life, so everyone controls what they do in their

life.
