Similarities Between Julius Caesar And Martin Luther King Jr

In ever time period there must be someone that society can be dependent on, a well liked leader is worshiped by their followers and possess specific leadership qualities that allow them to gain more respect. I believe that the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and Julius Caesar had made people respond violently and impulsively. Because both leaders served as the cause of peace and justification for the people, influencing their country. Martin Luther king helped

African Americans obtain their rights and liberties that was their birth right. Julius Caesar helps keep Rome in peace, but by the jealousy of such an admirable leader the assaniantion had only brought Rome to a tragic state.

Society throughout generations has lost many

Stated in the newspaper article, “The Fear and the Flames” by Jimmy Breslin he recalls, “The day after the assassination, smoke blew with the wind and billowed low alone Fourteenth Street as violent people rioted and he had to duck into the doorway of a smashed shoe store to breath”

Prominent leaders come in a wide variety of personal characteristics such as their ability to make speeches in public or to relate to people in groups. I believe Martin

Luther King Jr. and Caesar Julius possessed characteristics that incorporate new strategies in leadership and communications because, of this it allows them to gain power during their times and people to gain their respect In Julius Caesar, drama play written by Shakespeare, In

Act 1 Scene 1, Flavius to Marullus, “These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing will make him fly an ordinary pitch, Who else would soar above the view of men and keep us all in servile fearfulness?” (5). This demonstrates that, Cesar needs to realize he is the same as every other common man, if he doesn’t he will become too authoritative. This also explains that, these men were realizing they needed to stop Cesar before he became corrupt. In journalist Jimmy
