Freindship/ Ceaser

Friendship has been around through out history. Caesar and Brutus, Caesar and Marc Antony have all had great friendships, but there are hard times when they disagree just like how Maggie and Rebecca were. They were the best of friends, almost family until one fight got in the way of their friendship. You can be best friends or even family and still have confrontations that you don’t enjoy, As with Caesar and Brutus, or Maggie and Rebecca.

Perhaps the strongest friendship in the play was Caesar and Marc Antony. They had a unique bond with Caesar holding power and Marc Antony giving him assistance with it. Antony and Caesar cherished each other as friends because they did not have many of them at that time. Caesar’s friendship with Brutus was a different one though. Caesar thought they were good friends and had a reliable friendship but in the end it turned out that Brutus literally stabs Caesar in the back. Brutus and Cassius always had a friendship, but not one that I would want. Cassius needed Brutus for a friend and the way he got him was his superb pervasive talking to raise Brutus’ self esteem and make him feel good. So in a way Brutus was being used by who he though was his “friend”. Brutus and Portia had a great friendship. They loved each other very much and Portia was willing to do anything for Brutus but he was caught up in Cassius’ evil plans. Brutus was caught between the friendship of Portia or Cassius and unfortunately he chose Cassius. Caesar and Calpurnia had a strong friendship too. Calpurnia was not as strong willed as Portia but she obeyed Caesar and loved him dearly. Caesar felt that he was marginally better then her but still, he loved her. The last relationship I’m going to talk about is Caesar and Cassius. They did not have a good friendship. Caesar felt Cassius was deceitful, untrustworthy, and a very sneaky person well Cassius felt Caesar was too power hungry and needed to be stopped. With each man thinking this there friendship was bound to never get off the ground.

The friendship between Maggie and Rebecca was very strong. They would have Sunday dinners with their family’s together, talk about sex, life and work. They shared everything, secrets, clothes, and even food. Their
