How do you see the motif "Power" throughout Act I? Who holds the most power? Who has the least power? You do not need to use a quote for this entry, but it must be over 6 sentences in length.
the motif of "power" in act 1 in my eyes in mainly bossing people around. the person who holds the most power is Flavius. the person with the least ammount of power is the Cobbler. Flavius has the most power because he is someone who will be appearing more in the story. the Cobbler has the least ammount of power because he isnt a major character in this. the reason bossing people around is power in this act is because people need to show who is in charge and who isnt. ~ kwhth3
I see the motif throughout act 1 becasue alot of the themes change and different things happened. Julius caesar held the most power because he is the leader and in control. The least power was his murder. Brutus is the one that feels he has the least power because he is the one that murdered him. He had the most power becasue he is the most powerfull leader that has had succes for what he did. If he didnt do the things he did then he wouldnt of been who he was.
In my mind the motif of "power" in Act 1 is people bossing each other around and telling each other what to do. Caesar has the most power because he is the Emperor of Greece. Brutus has the least power because he really means nothing to Greece and is not really a leader at all. He is Jealous of Caesar because Caesar is emperor and Brutus himself is not emperor of Greece. Caesar has the least power when Brutus and all his followers kill him and end his reign in Greece. Brutus has the most power because he kills Caesar and becomes a leader of Greece. If Brutus had not killed Caesar he would never have become a leader in Greece. ~Kristian Mcniss 10/12/11 Period 3
Throughout Act 1 there is a motif of "Power". To me, the way Shakespeare is using power so far is only barking orders at people.From what I see,Flavius holds the most power(the bully). The Cobbler is the person with the least power(the victim). In the first scene Flavius is heard yelling at the Cobbler and asking him why he's out. Bulling is often shown as power because that means someone obviously feels that they are better or know more than the other person.
How do I see the motif of power throughout act 1? Well after reading most of act 1 I think Julius Caesar has the most power. Julius is a general so that gives him more power than regular people to begin with. He uses the power in different ways towards different characters in the play. By far the least power in the play so far belongs to the cobbler. Major characters like Brutus even have more power than him simply because they are major characters. Jimmy Strong.
I see the motif "power" through act 1 when the important characters giving commands to the commoners .Julius Caesar hold the most power because hes the hero and when he gives a command its is done. The person who hold the least power is cobbler because hes a commoner who dosent have any power- nessa
I see the motif "Power" when the characters so far are talking to each other. They show a lot of people bossing other people around. Julius Caesar holds the most power technically because he was offered the crown three times, but Flavius also holds a lot of power because he appears most in the story as sort of being the main character. The person with the least power so far would be the Cobbler because he is the shoemaker, and doesn't have any relationship to Caesar.
I see the motif of power throughout act one in many people, but also lack of power in others. Julius Ceasar holds much power, as do Cassius and Flavius. The lack of power is held with the cobbler and other workers. The workers and the cobbler have less power than Flavius because they treated him with a lot of respect, while he acted like they were nothing. I think that inthe play, power is going to be a major theme. Power is going to appear many times in this play, and it may be something that is a major plot poing in "Julius Ceasar".
There is a lot of power throughout Act 1. Julius Caesar held the most power. He is the one in control. He is the leader so you would expect him to have the most power. You can tell that the Cobbler holds the least power. He is getting bossed around and bullied the whole time. Power in this play seems to be like who is the know it all and very controlling. They think they are better than all the other people.
I see the motif of power throughout act 1 as Julius Ceasar having most power. He has all these people who look up to him. He shows power by being a general. The other major powers are major characters like Brutus and Cassius. They have a lot of talking throughout scene 1. I think all of these characters and more use their power towards people in different ways. Cassaundra Uhland
The motif of power is very strong in Act 1. To me, it first appears in scene 1 as the two very commanding tribunes, Flavius and Murellus yelling at the commoners, the cobbler and the carpenter and giving them orders. The cobbler and carpenter are the ones that have least power. In scene 2, the most powerful person is Caesar since he now is having a triumphal parade from his recent victory. He has a commanding attitude towards others as well. Besides Caesar, Brutus and Cassius have a fair control of power too since they are the noblemen of Rome.
I see the motif of power varying throughout characters. At first I saw a lot of power from Flavius, he always controlled the situation. Then I saw power from Brutus and Caesar, I've seen that Caesar has the most respect so far in the play. The cobbler has no power from what I've read so far, I haven't seen a line of authority come from him yet. But I just feel like the power in Act 1 just varies from person to person, but more towards Caesar and Brutus.
Tyler Dawson Alot of the "power" motifs in Act 1 are seen as very demanding. Out of all the motifs you see alot of "power". Act 1 is full of power motifs. The noblemen have alot of power compared to the ordinary people who have little power. Alot of the noblemen boss the people of the Roman Empire around. Such as when Flavius bosses the Cobbler and the Carpenter around.
I see the motif of power throughout act 1 is people are very bossy and pushy. The person with the least amount of power would have to be the cobbler. The man with the most amount of power is Julius Caesar. These two people are important characters even though the cobbler and Caesar used to be in the same postion. But Caesar over came with power. Also, a character like Brutus he and Caesar they used to be really close of freinds before Caesar became king.
In the first act you see A LOT of motifs that express power. I think the reason behind the power in the beging is to show who's at a higher rank then others. This will start to set the tone for the rest of the play. The very first motif of power is in the first line of the play. Flavius says "Hence! Home, you idle creatures get you home!" (1.i.1) Even though Flavius starts out the play with demands, I feel that Caeser holds the most power because he becomes king. As of right now the Cobbler seems to hold less power.
After reading a good amount of Act 1 I think the motif of "Power" is seen by alot of people with big egos, who have power over someone else and boss them around. An example of this would be with Flavius, the Carpenter, and the Cobbler. In Act 1 scene 1 Flavius is using the motif power because he is telling them to go away and yelling at them because they aren't wearing there work clothes. In this situation Flavius has the most power. The carpenter and cobbler have the least amount of power.In a generalization of what I've read I would say that Caesar has the most power right now. Cassius has the least amount of power if any because he isn't in any type of power. Also because Cassius is never comfortable when someone ranks higher then him.
After reading Act I, I noticed Caesar using the motif "power" a lot. He tends to dictate and talk down to others, such as Cassius and Casca. In my opinion, I believe that Caesar holds the most power throughout this scene and the whole play because he gets the offered to get crowned King three times. But although Caesar holds most power, I think that he, in a way, holds the least power because he refuses the crown. I think that if he accepted the crown the first time, it'd show more strength in him. That's how i think the motif "power" was explained and exhibited throughtout this play.
The way i see power through out act 1 is that power is often used.The person who holds the most power is julius caesar. In my own opinion i believe the leaste power goes to clobber. Julius has the most power because he is very popular and people repsect him and also his decisions. The reason the clobber has the leaste power is because he is not a major part in this play. Also, he isnt nearly respected as much as caesar and in my opinion respect means power which the clobber does not have.
I see the motif power in Caesar throughout act 1. He has command over everyone it seems. he tells Antony what to do. Also, it seems that Casca has a lot of power because he's always with Caesar and is in on most of his happenings. Brutus is Caesars friend so he also has power. The person or people with the least power seem to be Murelles and Flavius and the towns people. The two seem to just be wanabe power figure's. The just have knowledge that some other's don't. This is why I don't think they have any real power.
The way i see power in act 1 is the person who is the "bigger person" and by that i mean the person who stands up the most and controls others. In act 1 the person who has the most power would be Flavius. He shows the most power by tellin the others to get home and hes the "bigger person". The person who shows the least amount of power in act 1 is the carpenter. He is being cowardly. He says the least in act 1 and leaves without saying anything.
I see many different motifs throughout Act I.the most seen motifs are power.the motifs mostly are about caesar and his power over rome. caesar has the most power thoughout the act 1.the person with the least power would have to be cobbler.becouse he pretty much the slave of the play.sven gronvold
I see the motif power used in act 1. People of higher rank like Flavius boss around poeple with lower rank like the carpenter and the cobbler. I think Caesar has the most power in this act. He is about to be named king and the king is the one who holds the most power. I think the cobbler has the least power because he has a lower rank and dose not make as much money as high officials. I also think the carpenter holds the least power too because he has a lower rank like the cobbler.
You see the motif power desplayed in many diffrent ways throughout ACT 1. First off you have Caesar who desplays power over most of the other characters. I do beleive that Caesar holds the most power in for that one reason alone. The person that has the least power would be the cobbler. The reason being because he doesn't have a big part in the play. Compared to Caesar he has very little power. Taylor Morgan
The motif of "power" is seen throughout Act 1. For starters, Flavius shows some power when telling the cobbler and other commons to head back to work, Caesar is not worth celebrating. Caesar also shows his power through the citizens who wouldn't dare think about disrespecting him, and the other politicians who are overly jealous of him. The character with the least amount of power is the cobbler, along with his fellow citizens. Caesar by far has the most power, for he commands everyone's respect with even the mention of his name.
The motiff "Power" throughout Act I has mainly been used to show people's rank in society along with what they feel needs to change.The person I feel that hold the most power is Cassius.The reason why I feel this way is because during Act I he has been coming up with the plans. Also, he has surrounded himself with a group that entitles him with more power. The person that I feel that has the least amount of power is Casca in Act I.The reason for this is because he is basically Cassius's little messanger boy.He also is bossed around by everyone and acts like the dumb one in the play.
In act 1 Julius Caesar holds the most power. The least amount of power is going to the cobbler.He has no signifagance in the part of the play he is introduced. Also, Julius shows that doesn't believe that he thinks he doesnt hold enough power. For example, he refused the crown three times in a row. Lastly, the amount of respect that julius recieves in much different then what the cobbler recieves. -mesportskidd
Act 1 has a lot of power in it. Also, i would say julius caesar would have the most power. He is offered to be king and everyone looks up to him as the leader. Next, i think the cobbler has the least power. Just because he cleans shoes and he cant really do much about anything and flavius runs his mouth to him in act 1 and he does nothing about it except he kept on saying he is a cobbler wich means he cleans shoes. That is my reasoning why he holds the least power. He also is not looked up to like julius is looked up to.
I see the motif of power being used often by a variety of characters like Caesar and Cassius. Caesar by far holds the most power. He does this mainly by being the one in charge and the one who dictates what happens during the play. The character with the least power is Brutus. Brutus is very naive and does only what he is told. He is never in, nor wants to be in a position to lead himself or others during the play.
There are many motifs used in this play. I see the word "power" through act 1, because Cassius shows that he has most power and bosses everyone around. In my opinion Caesar holds a lot of power also, because he is the king. The cobbler seems to hold the least power. I feel this way because he isnt very important and is always bossed around. Many characters have a lot of power, but i believe Cassius and Casear hold the most power.
in act 1 i see in rome 44 b.c not that many people hold power. In these days only leaders and people of high standards had power. In act 1 i would say caesar had a lot of power because of the way the town people act when he turns down the crown. the people holding the least power would be either the poor or the regular towns people. to these people your either born into poverty or loyalty. love keith friel
There are many motifs for power in this play. I feel the first one would be the first line of the entire play, "Hence! Home, you idle creatures. Get you home!" This line is spoken by Cobbler, who has little power even though he abuses it. I feel the most powerful person in the play is caesar. He is made king, and everyone respects him, and puts him on a pedestal, gicing him even more pride and power.
There are many motifs throughout this play, but the most frequent one I see is power. I feel that power is having the abillity to boss people around and tell people what to do. The person in act 1 that I see shows the most power is Cassius and Caesar. I feel Cassius has most power because as soon as the play starts it shows him yelling and telling people what to do. Ceaser has alot of power also because he is supposed to be king, although no one wants him to be that still gives him power. The person with the least amount of power would be the Cobbler. Because he is being told what to do and bossed around by Cassius.
I see power all throughout the play. Ceaser punished people who did not like that he came to power and he put on a big show to show off and please the crowds.Now with his power, he even starts thinking about getting rid of Cassius just because he did not like the look of him.
the power motif comes around alot in act one, like when flavius and marulius yell at the commoners for supporting caesar. caesar and alot of his people use there power over people alot like when oneo f them yell at them for talking as caesar speaks. -kane hiles
