The Use of Suspense in Julius Caesar
Suspense can be defined as the uncertainties the reader feels about what
will happen next in a story, or in this case, a play. William Shakespeare
incorporated in Julius Caesar three very suspenseful events on which the whole
play depends.
The first suspenseful event of this play occurs when the conspirators
join and discuss their reasons for assassination. Cassius feels that he is
equal to Caesar, if not even better that him. Shakespeare builds suspense by
using this statement made by Cassius: "I was born free as Caesar.../we both have
fed as well, and we can both / endure the winter's cold as well as he." Then
cassius tries to persuade Brutes to join in on the conspiracy by telling him
that it would be honorable to assassinate Caesar. Cassius tells Brutes that the
fate of Rome is in trouble with Caesar in power, which helps build suspense
early in the play. To convince Brutes conclusively, cassius forged letters and
threw them into Brutus's window where he was sure to find them. Shakespeare
wrote this statement: "we will awake him and be sure of him. This is a very
powerful statement that builds suspense because the reader most likely feels
that Brutes will join in and want to assassinate Caesar, yet the reader is
uncertain as to whether or not the plan will work. These events are very
suspenseful as they lead up to the assassination of Caesar.
The next series of suspenseful events that foreshadow Caesar's
assassination happen on a very unusual night. One night before Caesar's death
there were many strange occurrences the foreshadows darkness in the future. A
lioness gave birth in the streets, the dead rose from their graves, fiery
worriers fought in the clouds so fiercely that blood drizzled upon the capitol,
horses neighed, dying men groaned, and ghosts shrieked and squealed along the
streets; all events of this strange night that Shakespeare makes so suspenseful.
Also on this unusual nigh, Calpurnia had a very frightening dream that was very
suspenseful. The dream was of Caesar's statue emitting blood and many Romans
were bathing in it. When the reader reads this he is "on the edge of his seat"
William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is the illustration of the demise of many respectable men. Typical of a tragedy, one character of high social standing experiences numerous downfalls brought on by a character flaw. This character is eventually brought to his or her knees by the misery and sorrow brought upon by these mistakes. It is at this point that the character realizes their flaws and changes their outlook. In Shakespeare’s tragedy, the tragic hero is Julius Caesar. In the play, Shakespeare molds Caesar’s character into an ambiguous personality. While Caesar is depicted as an ignorant and deserving tragedy, he is an often-overlooked hero as well. The omnipotent ruler appears to be quite respectable socially in the play’s exposition. However, as the story unravels several of his imperfections are introduced. The blemishes of Caesar’s personality soon lead to his untimely death. At his fall, Caesar realizes his faults and wrongdoings. Thus Caesar is overall an effective and sympathetic tragic hero.

One of the things I am the most proud of is how I managed to convince my supervisor to start Quadrangle’s CRM. Thanks to the Database Marketing classes with Prof. Norm Williams, I have learned that while in the past Marketing was about how many products/services are sold, nowadays it is about loyalty. And loyalty is more about long-term vs. short-term return on investments. To make your customer or client loyal to your brand, you have to get him to trust you. You can do this by knowing his needs and wants first, and then by building and maintaining your relationship with him. To do this efficiently, it is vital for an organization to have a database where to track the different stages of the relationship along with the outcomes of the interaction, reminders to follow-up and all the comments that are necessary to serve your client
