Caesar Persuasive Letter

Dear Plebeians,

            I’m Dead, Caesar is dead, and Rome will fall because of this ungodly misfortune. I thought I could trust you all my people but yet I am dead, gone, murdered. I have been murdered by the men I thought I could trust and I am in shock even if I’m a ghost .Since death I’ve learned a little something  about friendship that be careful who you trust, and how you treat your friends.

            I was weak yes and didn’t know how to tell the public about my seizures yes, that probably made me somewhat of a weak leader but not that weak. We would of found a way around my seizures. People think I’m selfish and don’t care about the people.

            People think all people have a good side but not everyone does so you should be very careful on who you trust in life. Antony states, “Fear him not, Caesar, he’s not dangerous; He is a noble Roman, and well given”(I.ii.196-197) Basically, Antony is trying to comfort Caesar. It’s Comforting that Antony is trying to assure me that I will be safe and I can trust Cassius. I knew something that Antony doesn’t because I still don’t trust Cassius even after Antony reassured me that I could trust him. According to Caesar “ et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar.” (III.i.77) In other words, I was very shocked that Brutus, one of my closest friends, was the last one to stab me and right in the heart. This is a total betray in trust to me because he was one of my closest friends like seriously I trusted him. You think from so many years of life I would know when someone is about to betray me but yet Brutus did and I’ve learned that I needed to probably relook our friendship. Brutus probably betrayed me because of the way I have treated him lately since my power as been gaining.

Treating people the way they need to be treated is well the golden rule in life and treating people the way they should be treated could save a friendship. According to Cassius, “For once, upon a raw and gusty day, The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores, Caesar said to me ‘Dar’st thou, Cassius, now Leap in with me into this angry flood, and swim to yonder point?’ Upon the word, Account ‘red as I was, I plunged in and bade him follow: so indeed he did” (I.ii.100-108). Cassius’s point is that I didn’t know how to swim. I don’t know how to swim, I’m sorry; I never learned how to swim because of my seizures. See he really never liked me so I never trusted him because he knew I had seizures and couldn’t swim and he always tried to use it against me, if he would of just not used it against me I would probably trust him a lot more. Cassius states “No, Caesar hath it not; but you and I, and honest Casca, we have the falling-sickness” (I.ii.255-256). I had a seizure you can’t make fun of it because it’s something I was born with there are many other people who are like me but they hide it from the public like I am so people like you won’t use it against me. I take pride in my seizure to show that other people don’t have to hide it but I hide them now so they won’t think that I will be a weak leader because of it so don’t judge by weaknesses judge by how well they do it. Treating people is something that can be viewed in many different ways and you should be careful because you never know talking about someone else can probably hurt someone you actually care about.

I might be dead but I have learned more now than I ever have. I have learned many things including about friendship that you need to be careful on whom you trust and treat people even if you don’t like them the way you want them to treat you.
