This dynamic duality runs throughout ShakespeareвЂ™s life and work, making him an androgynous and timeless shape-shifter who is impossible to pin down. A few lines later, however, Jonson contradicts himself, declaring that his rival вЂњwas not of an age, but for all timeвЂќ. His friend Ben Jonson, addressing вЂњthe ReaderвЂќ, initially says that вЂњgentle ShakespeareвЂќ is the вЂњsoul of the ageвЂќ, placing him firmly in a metropolitan context, as вЂњthe wonder of our stageвЂќ. ShakespeareвЂ™s double life, as both an English and a universal artist (poet and playwright), begins with the First Folio of 1623. Four hundred years on, his unique gift to our culture, language and imagination has been to universalise the experience of living and writing in late 16th-century England and to have become widely recognised, and loved, across the world as the greatest playwright. They loved their friend, but he was corrupt.That heartfelt response is, perhaps, ShakespeareвЂ™s most astonishing achievement. This lineВ pin pointsВ the emotions of Ricks and BrutusвЂ™s character so well. Brutus tells Antony in Act3 Scene1, вЂњWhy I, that did love Caesar when I struck him, Have thus proceededвЂќ. Both Rick and Brutus are known for being honorable and it is ultimately their honor (Caesars to Rome/the people, Ricks to Lori/the people) that causes them to kill not in cold blood but in sacrifice to assure fairness for everyone. Brutus feels he has to (kill)В because he knows what Caesar is capable of and has to make a move before he gets the crown and possibly does something stupid. Rick has to (kill)В now that he sees Shane for as violent as he feared anyone would become.

These characters are ultimately pushed to the point of killing for the greater good, but they donвЂ™t want to at fist. Brutus and RickВ know how they truly feel about their hot headed friend, but they wait for other friends to bring it up to them before they start making plans to do something about it. The parallels between Brutus and Rick are also pretty cool to explore. Both Caesar and Shane are stabbed by a friend for the greater good. It is then, when the heads of men without brains are the biggest they are the weakest. The men (except Brutus) kneel down in front of Caesar and plead for the release of someone. Rick slowly removes his gun and starts handing it over to Shane as a way of manipulating Shane in to thinking he can trust him while obtaining a position to kill. At the moment of death for each character we see a very calm approach to their extinction.

One by one, the group of high ranked folks in both Shake spears play and the TV series see the men as completely arrogant and weekend from power. Both characters become a target as soon as some of the people closer to their environment start to catch on to how fake they are. However, he ignores his wifeвЂ™s prophesy to prove his capability of receiving the crown. For example, Caesar trusts his wife when she tells him not to go to the capital. Both characters will go to great lengths to save face and prove their leadership. But, clearly thinks he would be the best to rule he refers to himself as something like a god. Comparatively Caesar pushed the crown aside in front of a crowed three times, appearing to be thinking about what is best for the people. But, made it look like he was just oh so eager to protect the people. Like when Shane went crazy and broke the chain on the barn (because he was mad). Both characters make decisions with personal intent and to subtlety manipulate the people in to thinking they are genuinely modest. Both Caesar and Shane consider themselves more valuable than any other person and are said to become irrational and feared when given positions of power. He appears just as modest as he needs to and has kept them safe so far so, he must be a great ruler. Shane like Caesar is viewed by the people as more then capable to rule. Both have very different ideas about what is best for the people. Both see each other as a brother or close friends. I could not help but to draw parallels between these two menвЂ™s leadership characteristics and that of Shane and Rick from AMCвЂ™s hit show The Walking Dead.

As I got two know each character throughout acts 1-4 I began to analyze each manвЂ™s character and characteristics of leadership roles. Caesar represents the monarch way of doing things and Brutus and his crew represent the democratic way of deciding the fate of the people. Julius Caesar is a play that presents a competition between two forms of government.
