Act 2: Haiku

Cassius, Casca
Both have ambition against
Caesar and his rule.

The Conspirators
Convinced Brutus to join them
The fight now begins.

The soothsayer warned
Caesar of the danger ahead
But he didn't listen...

Ambition Songs

"All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled

All I do is win win win no matter what

Got money on my mind I can never get enough

and everytime I step up in the building

everybody hands go up

When I heard that we had this assignment the song "All I Do Is Win" was one of the first songs that came to mind. This song to me just sings ambition to me for many reason. The song talks about always winning no matter what and this definetly takes a lot of ambition. This reminds me of the conspirators because they are willing to do anything to come out on top. Throughout the story of Julius Caesar there are many examples of the conspirators showing ambition.

In this song they believe that always wining is good for not only them but for everyone around them. The conspirators believe that if they kill Caesar it will protect everybody from future threats if Caesar stays in power. In both the song and the play the sonpirators and DJ Khaled do what they do for the good of themselves and others. The conspirators did whatever they could to get brutus to join their side and in the end convinced him that it would be better if Caesar was killed. Thats one example of how this song and play relate in a major way. Both the song and the play show ambition to do whatever it takes to win.

Ambition Act 1 - Post 2

This video is from Act 1 of Julius Caesar. It is a condensed and animated version of Act 1 that shows from Caesar returning to Rome to Cassius giving Cinna the letter to be delivered to Brutus (act 1 ends at 4:50). It contains some of the quotes from the play, but makes some of the language more modern and easier to understand.

A detail the represents ambition is Cassius' soliloquy. He talks about how Brutus is noble but can be seduced to Cassius' way of thinking which shows Cassius' ambition to get Brutus on his side. Another detail is when Cassius, Casca, and Cinna meet during the storm. Cassius talks about how if Caesar were to become king, he would take his own life and he is also the one to make the letters that will be delivered to Caesar. This shows Cassius' ambition towards his goal of getting rid of Caesar and getting Brutus on his side. Cassius is a character that represents ambition in Act 1 because he has the ambition to get a group of conspirators against Caesar and he makes fake letters to give to Brutus and he tries to convince Brutus to go against Caesar. A quote that shows ambition in this video is "Well, Brutus, thou art noble; yet I see Thy honorable mettle may be wrought;". Cassius says this in his soliloquy, it means that he sees that Brutus is good but he has the ambition to change Brutus over to his side.
