This scene is set in Antony’s house where Antony, Octavius and Lepidus meet to plot revenge against the conspirators. During their meeting, the topic of Lepidus’ brother comes up and they begin to discuss what to do with him but Lepidus consents to kill him. This shows that they were willing to kill anyone associated […]
In this scene, Antony is speaking to the crowd and he turns everyone against the conspirators. He does this through the use of metaphors. Furthermore, he manipulates the crowd by using Caesar’s ‘will’ which I believe to be a lie which Antony made to manupulate the views of the peoples. Antony also uses rhetorical questions to […]
Starter: fatuous – foolish, silly Task One: A soldier moves his comrade into the light and warmth of the Sun in hope of him ‘waking up’. It used to wake him every day in World War One era France. However, the comrade is dead so he cannot wake up this time. The Sun is […]
In Act 3 Scene 1, Caesar is murdered by the conspirators after refusing to grant a petition to unbanish Cimber. Casca delivers the first stab as he says ‘Speak hands for me!’ as though he is telling his hands to stab Caesar. After everyone stabs him, Brutus delivers the final blow where Caesar then says […]

Shakespeare presents Brutus’ intentions by using metaphors to justify his thoughts and actions. He shows this in Act 2 Scene 1 where Brutus is speaking to Cassius and he says ‘To cut the head off and then hack the limbs’ and then a few lines later says ‘For Anthony is but a limb of Caesar’. […]
Submarine Warfare: Submarines were first used in the First World War but were mainly used for attacking merchant ships supplying resources to the UK (because the UK is an island and requires most of its resources to be imported). However, in the Second World War, they were actually used for combat. One of the most […]
Task One: The speaker is speaking in 1st person. I think that the speaker is speaking in present tense but mainly in the past tense. I also believe that the speaker is male as he mentions marrying a girl. Unless the character is homosexual and is female, I’m presuming that the character is heterosexual and […]
‘I simply want to tell you that there are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs’ I think that Harper Lee uses language and tone to present Miss Maudie’s views of Maycomb County. In the quotation, there is a noun phrase (‘some men’) which is used to hint at […]
