How can you see the motif of Manipulation developing throughout Act II? You do not need a quote for this blog, but you do need to reference specific examples from Act II.
I can see the motif of manioulatin devoling in act II,when cassious is trying to get brutus to fully agree with the plan of killing ceasar.Brutus likes ceasar but doesnt want him as king . cassious thinks that ceasar is weak. For the reason,that cassious had to save ceasar in the tiber river.And ceasar got sick,but cassious didn't.Brutus doesnt want ceasar to be king,but feels that they need to get him out of the way.before he becomes too powerful.
The motif, manipulation, shows in act 2 a few times so far. Cassius go's through with putting the letter's in Brutus's window. After he reads the letter, he is convinced that the people think it's best if Caesar weren't in power. Even so, Cassius still brings his posse to Brutus's house in the middle of the night to convince him. He tell's Brutus how all his friends are in on the plot and that finally convinces him.
I feel manipulation shows up many times so far in Act 2. Cassious is planning to murder Caesar, and is trying to convince everyone to join his plan. Cassious claims he doesn't have a problem with Caesar, but he needs to be killed for the good of the people in the land. He believes Caesar has to be stopped before he becomes too powerful. Cassius tries to convince Brutus to join the plan. He agrees that Caesar needs to be removed from power, and agrees to help.
In act 2, manipulation is shown a couple of times. One of the times it is brought up is when brutus is trying to get Caesar killed. He said that he had no personal issue with caesar. Also, he said that he wanted him killed for the benefit of the people. By killing Caesar and not letting him become king, it shows that he is not a god like he was saying after all. By Brutus telling the people this, he manipulates them into being on his side, and to follow through with the murdering of Caesar. - shawn krough
I can see the motif of manipulation devoloping because cassius wants to get brutus to help kill caesar with him. Most of them feel that caesar will be to powerful. Brutus thinks that if you give him power then he will take advantage of it. He said that he wanted him killed because it would be better for the people and not cause alot of things. Basically brutus disagrees that caesar should be king. Hopefully they follow throw with the plan.
Manipulation seems to be the main motif so far in act two. Cassius is responsible for manipulating Brutus to join the conspiarcy to kill Caesar. The conspirators manipulate the well being of other people to get what they want. Brutus doesn't personally have a reason to kill Caesar but agrees that he isn't an exception and shouldn't be king. Manipulation is shown through the act of the letter given to Brutus. The stress of the conspiracy causes Brutus to become mentally tired and irritated. Brutus's strange behavior concerns Portia and she wishes to know what is upsetting him. When he refuses to tell her, she manipulates him by holding her place in their marriage against him and he promises to confess to her his dilemma.
There is a lot of manipulation in this. It shows when Cassius puts the letter in Brutus's window. He reads it and thinks that the people think he shouldn't have any power. Cassius comes to him in the middle of the night and says how everybody is in on it and then he finally gets convinced.
In act II manipulation is Brutus's goal. According to him killing Caesar is for the better of the people. But Brutus cant do this by himself. So he talks and manipulates people into thinking the way he does and wanting the same thing he does. And that "thing" is the death of Caesar. Now Brutus states that the reason for his wish of murder on Caesar is not a personal problem between them. He's just looking out for everyone else. But to me there has to be more than just looking out for people to be able to want someone dead. -Jimmy Strong
I can see the motif manipulation develop in act II because Cassius is planning on murdering Julius Caesar. The reason he wants to kill him is because he feels that if Caesar becomes king that he will become a dictator. Since Cassius thinks this,he is getting people to join him in his plan to kill Julius Caesar.How this is a example of manipulation is because Cassius must manipulate people like Brutus to get him to join the plan.Brutus does not want Caesar to be king mostly because of the manipulation from Cassius.
Issa Cardona: Manipulation shows up many times in Act II. When Brutus get letters from Cassius that tell him that people don't like Caesar and don't want him as king. Cassius sent the letters in many different handwriting styles to make Brutus think that it was sent by many different people.Also when Decius goes over to Caesars house to bring him to the senate Manipulation can be seen. Decius interprets Calphurnia's Omen into a thing of good luck in order to bring him to the senate. He manipulates Caesar into going when Caesar originally wasn't going to go because his wife begged him not to go.
The motif of manipulation develops in act II because Cassius is trying to get Brutus to be on their side with killing Caesar. Then Portia, Brutus's wife, uses manipulation on Brutus to get him to tell what's been on his mind lately.
Throughout Act II, the motif manipulation seems to be most popular. Cassius is detirmined to have Brutus join in on the conspiracy to kill Caesar. Brutus is undecided on the matter because he likes Caesar but feels as if he won't do good for the city. Cassius believes that Caesar is just like every other man, if not less of a man than Cassius, because Cassius has saved Caesar and preformed the same great actions. Also, Decius convinced Caesar that his wife, Calphurnia, has had a good dream instead of a bad one. He says that the statue itself pouring blood onto the people as they wash their hands represents how Caesar will provide Rome with substaining blood and they strive to touch his holy blood. Caesar is unaware that Decius is plotting against him along with others, so he believes Decius is speaking of good. These are two prime examples of how manipulation is shown throughout Act II.
I feel that the Motif of manipulation shows and develops in act II in a few different ways. One way is that Brutus changes Caesars mind about not going to the senate. He changed it by telling him that Calphurnia's dream is crazy, and that wouldn't happen and that if he doesn't go they will change their minds about crowning him king. Also another way manipulation shows in act II is when Cassias writes the letters in a different hand writing to Caesar. Another way manipulation is shown is when Portia Brutus's wife makes him tell her what's wrong with him. Those are some of the few reasons of how the Motif of manipulation is shown in this Act. -Cassaundra Uhland
I can see the motif of manipulation from the original conspirators using Brutus's sense of duty and right to convince him that killing Caesar will benefit Rome as a whole, while they are actually doing it for there own envious purposes.
Manipulation seems to be what Cassius is using Brutus for.Ceaser is using the deigning of the crown to please the crowds.Although Brutus is being used he is still doing something noble.He is killing Ceaser so he wont abuse his power and bring Rome down. So even though Brutus is killing some one, it may be for the better.

Tyler Dawson There is alot of manipulation in Act 2. The easiest one to notice is when Cassius is trying to manipulate Brutus to join the conspiracy group. It does'nt take much to get Brutus to join them. But another example of manipulation is brutus manipulating Cassius. Brutus joins the group , but he manipulates the group to think that he i on the same page with them. But really they got different reasons on why they want to get rid of Caesar. So it could go both ways with manipulation
In act II, manipulation is shown a lot. It is mainly shown when Cassius is trying to get Brutus to side with him, and plot to kill Caesar along with the others. Cassisus is trying to get Brutus to feel the same way as he does. He is trying to persuade him and make him feel like killing Caesar is the right thing to do. He sent multiple letters to Brutus explaining why Caesar shouldn't be king, making him think they were sent by many different people. Manipulation is also shown when Decius persuades Caesar to go to the capital when his wife begged him not to. -Marina Parkinson
I can see the motif of manipulation developing through act II because Cassius is persuading everyone to join him. For example when he sent Brutus the letters in different handwritings. Cassius wants Brutus to think that a lot of people support his idea. He wants to use Brutus for someone to help him carry out the conspiracy. Even though they want to kill him for different reasons. Another example is when Decius trys to interpert Calphurnias dream. He manipulates caesar to go to the capitol so decius makes the dream sound like the romans were happy because he would provide sustaining blood for the people. -Karly Valladares
Throughout Act II, manipulation shows up various times. An example of manipulation would be Cassius wants to murder Caesar and to do so he must get people to help him. He manipulates people into thinking that would be the best thing.
Act II develops the motif of manipulation very quickly. This act is mostly trying to get Brutus to side with Cassius for the killing of Caesar. For example, the letters given to Brutus showing that the Roman people respect and honor him. Portia who is Brutus' wife also manipulates him. She keeps harping on the subject of something being wrong with Brutus. She is trying to find out what he’s thinking of that is making him act like this. Dana Yangello :)
The motif of manipulation develops in act II because Cassius writes letters to throw into Brutus' window in different writings saying how people dislike Caesar and dont want him to be king. Cassius does this because he wants Brutus to help kill Caesar so he dosnt become king. Brutus dosnt want Caesar to be king but he does still like him. They both feel that they should kill Caesar. -Nicole Cottrell
the motif of manipulation developes alot in this act. it really starts to come into the play when brutus wakes up and lucius gives him the note that was next to his window. The motif of minipulation further developes when the main conspirators show up at his house in the middle of the night to convince him to join the plot to kill julius caesar. -kane hiles
The motif of manipulation is shown a lot through Act 2. It starts to shows when brutus and lucius gives him a note that was left next to his window. The minipulation is sparked even more when when the conspirators show up at brutus's house in the middle of the night. When they showed up they tried to convince brutus to help join and kill caesar.
I see manipulation when Brutus receives the note about the people wanting Ceaser gone. then as the conspirators arrive they push him to believe that this is the only course of action. Brutus loves Ceaser but because of Cassius he believes that it is the only thing left to do
The main point of manipulation is when the conspirators arrive because they are using the previous attempt to convince him being the letters that Cassius wrote to sway him into killing Ceaser. Cassius is usually at the head of manipulation in act two -Chris Rivera
I cna see manipulation developing in mutliple ways in Act II.One way of this is when Cassius persuades Brutus to join the conspricacy against Ceasar. Another way is Deceius Brutus manipulating Caesar to go to the Capitol even after Calphrunia's dream and her begging. Also, is that when Ceasar is manipulated at his own house when the conspirators trick Ceasar into thinking that there his friends. Throughout this whole thing the real people to me that are being manipulated are the conspirators by Brutus because he does it for his own reasons which is for the people. These are mainly the main examples of manipulation in Act II.
you can see the motif of Manipulation developing throughout Act II change in many ways. One of the changes would be when brutus wakes up and lucius leaves a note next to his window. Manipulation develops when ever one who whats him to join the conspricy. Another would be when dexus convince caesar to go to the capital instend of staying home.Thats how the motif of manipulation develops throuhout act2.----- Sven Gronvold
I see the motif of manipulaion developing throughout act I, and into act II. In act II, in he very beginning of scene on, Brutus finds the letters from the "Roman citizens". In reality though it is from cassius, thi letter is snt to play on Brutuses sense of honor and drive to do what is best for the Roman people. It also plays on the internal conflict in Brutus where he is already trying to justify killing ceaser. Another example of manipulation in act II is when Decious flatters Ceaser and convinces him to go to the capitol on the ides of march. Decious says that the dream Calphurnia had was a good omen depicting Ceaser as the savior of the people and the Roman citezens. Playing on Ceasars sense of power and want of power. -Aidan Hadley
During scene 2 Brutus manipulated in many different ways. But the one that came out to me the most was how Brutus wanted Caesar killed before he gets crowned. He is manipulating this because he is doing this for the good of the people. He thinks if Caesar gets the throne he will abuse his power. Nothing will be right. Brutus is being a good person by doing this, because he is watching out for the people. This is the manipulation that happened Act 2
Manipulation plays a big part in act II. Cassius is trying to convince and manipulate Brutus into agreeing with the plan of killing Caesar. Brutus states that the reason for him wanting Caesar's death is not a personal matter, he just feels that's what's best for the people and for himself. And another way we have seen manipulation in act II is, Portia, Brutus' wife, tries to manipulate Brutus into telling her what is wrong and what was on his mind. -Selena Lee<3
There was a lot of Manipulation in this act 2. The manipulation that stood out to me the most was how Brutus wants Caesar killed before he takes the throne. He is doing this for the good of all the people. Brutus knows in his mind that he will abuse the power that he gets. Everything will just go down. If all of this happens, there is nothing that Brutus can do to stop this.
The motif of manipulation develops in act two becasue brutus and cassius start a plot about killing caesar. Brutus also says that he loves caesar but does not want him to be crowned. Cassius also does not want caesar to be king so he is also in this plot to kill caesar. -Jeff Ritter
In Act2 some of the characters manipulate others. Like when cassious is trying to get brutus to fully agree with the plan of killing ceasar. Another is when Decius manipulated caesar to go to the capital. I fell that is one of the bigger examples of manipulation. Caesar was debating on weather to go to the capitol or not. the reason i thik its the biggest example is because i think its gonna be the plot of the play -Jake Smith
Manipulation grows over scene 2. The biggest example being Cassius writing letters to Brutus in order to get Brutus to join him in the conspiracy. Cassius used different handwriting style to make Brutus feel that the letters are coming from different people. Also Descius used manipualtion to convince Caesar to leave his home and go to the senate in order to go through with the conspiracy. -Dylan Ecret
Through out act II, the motif of manipulation can be seen. The first example of this is when Cassius is trying to convince Brutus that killing Caesar is only for the good of Rome. He does this by sending letters to Brutus, he writes the letters so they look like that they have been done by someone else. Another example is when Decius interprets Calpurnia dream differently than what she did. She takes it as a warning of Caesar's future. Decius says that the dream represents a good future for Caesar. He says that the bleeding statue represents that Caesar will sustain the blood of Rome.
I can see manipulation in act II in many ways. First Cassius trying to convince brutus of the joining the plan. Cassius went to Brutus's house to talk to him and make sure he is 100 percent committed. This was a sign of manipulation that leads to the plain to kill Caesar. Also, when Decius tryed to talk Caesar into going outside when Caesar's wife wanted him to stay in is another sign of manipulation. Decius wants Caesar to leave so Cassion and Brutus and the others can murder Caesar.
Manipulation is displayed in more ways then one in Act II of Julius Caesar. One example is when Decius interprets Calphurnias's dream. In doing this Decius manipulates Caesar into going to the capitol. Decius twists the bleeding statue into a sign that Caesar will sustain the blood of Rome. Another example of manipulation is when Cassius is trying to get others to join in with his conspiracy. Cassius sent letters supporting his ideas to Brutus. However, he wrote each letter in different handwriting so it looks like many people support him. He makes Brutus follow along with his conspiracy even though Cassius wants Caesar dead for the wrong reasons.
