"Julius Caesar, Sexy Beast"

Well, if he wasn't busy sleeping with his friends wives, he was always up for some genocide!  Welcome to the wonderful, complex world of Julius Caesar, everyone!  Today we started watching Ancients Behaving Badly: Julius Caesar.  If you were gone, you can catch up on YouTube.  For the rest of you, I hope you learned something new!  Important to note:

  • Caesar was AMBITIOUS
  • Caesar's family experienced a FALL FROM GRACE.
  • Caesar made the choice to CLIMB THE SOCIAL LADDER, rather than be bitter and agry about his faimily's misfortune
  • Caesar acted so that he could gain POWER and SOCIAL STATUS in his relationships, conquests, and politics.
Those are the major points that we drew from the film today.  Keep a vigilant eye out for more tomorrow.  Have a great Tuesday!  White Collar is on at 9pm on USA ;)!!

Don't forget your Letter to Miss Dinges is due TOMORROW!!

Paz,
Cordes
