Shakespeare presents fate in this play as death and people knowing when their fate comes (dies).
Shakespeare presents fate in Julius Caesar as when Cassius says it is my destiny to die on the same day as my birthday. Cassius saying this is him saying that fate decided that he should die on the day of his birthday. Fate is believed to be what the gods decide what happens to you in the future. ‘for ever and ever, farewell, Brutus! If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed; if not, ’tis true this parting was well made.’ This is when Brutus and Cassius say farewell to each other before they lose the war, this says that they know that they will die in the war this is their fate that they will die in the war.
Another example of how Shakespeare presents fate in Julius Caesar is when Caesar’s wife dreams that when Caesar has to go to the Capitol Caesar will be murdered and the murderers will bathe their hands in his blood. Thais is a clear sign that Caesar’s wife saw his fate.
Fate is also what people thought that what you do in the future and how you do it. It was also believed that your fate is in the stars.
Another example of fate in Julius Ceasar is when Ceasar says that he is bigger than fate, ‘I am as constant as the northen star.’ Ceasar is saying that because the northern star is the biggest and the most important, when he says this he says he is the most imprortant out of every one in Rome. He says this just before he is assassinated by the conspirators.
I think that William Shakespeare punishes people that disregards fate like Ceasar being assassinated and Cassius drying on his birthday.
