Honor by Atreyu

This song relates to honor because it talks about how honor can be obtained which is a method that it seems like Caesar took. He didn't hold anything back and gave each of his endeavors his all. Caesar persisted in conquering and it ultimately paid off. No matter how much someone disliked Caesar, they had no choice but to honor him. It was law.
"All hail Caear." This phrase was all too common back in the day. Although some looked at Caesar as a god, others looked at him as any other man. That shows that some have a lack of honor. Brutus and Cassius however outshine all others lacking respect with their mischievous plotting. Caesar trusts both of these men and they are plotting to overthrow him behind his back.

Honor Poem
When the Rightous are Unclean
No one has the honor to stand up for what they've seen. The innocents fall as early as their teens. Collapsing under the weight of a tyrant, forcing them to their knees.
And yet im seen as a pariah because i refuse to let them proceed. Im using me to further their blackened seeds.
But the fearfull see us as the same. Because i take the fight to the oppressor as violently as he takes it to me. For the only way to defeat a monster is by setting your own free.
And the war that commences is one the cowards wont impede. Hoping i slay their demons so the bloody waters recede. Though i stand victorious i walk alone as i slowly bleed.
As those who lack courage judge my actions obscene. I then speak aloud to those present and the ones who remain unseen. Before you point your fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
For he who does not punish evil commands it to be free.

This poem relates to Julius Caesar in many ways, on both "sides." There are lines that represent himself and many lines that can be shown as the conspirators. In the play, Julius has a lot of people against him that makes him a pariah and he doesnt even know it. That line fits perfectly because they don't like how he rules and think he isn't fit for it. At time it seems that Julius Caesar is alone but in his own eyes he stands victorious despite the conspirator's views. This refering to line that says," Though I stand victorious I walk alone as I slowly bleed." Caesar is being honorable not only to himself but his land as well as he sticks to his word and does what he thinks is right.
The last line of the poem says, " For he does not punish evil commands it to be free." This line realtes perfectly to the conspirators. They feel that Caesar is the wrong choice and will lead Rome to failure. They are doing everything they can do to get him out of power. Conspirators aren't worried about Caesar's honor they are just concerned about the future of Rome. They do not believe the decisions that Caesar is making are made for the better whole.

Act 1 Quotation
Quote:
Well, Brutus, thou art noble; yet I see
Thy honorable mettle may be wrought
From that it is disposed;
Translation:
In this quote, Cassius is saying: "Well Brutus, you are noble and honorable, but I think that I can use your honor against you." In other words, Cassius thinks he can persuade Brutus against his better nature to join the conspirators.
So far, Cassius has been trying to secretly convince Brutus that he is just as important as Caesar; that he can rule Rome instead of Caesar; that he is supreme over Caesar. However, so far, Brutus has not joined in with the conspirators and he has stayed honorable to the new ruler of Rome. But I have noticed that Brutus just kind of sits there and listens to Cassius's degrading of Caesar...He hasn't really argued the stories. So I do think that he might be able to be persuaded.
But in the back of my head, I can't sit here and think that Cassius is doing all of this for Brutus. I think that he is going to benefit from his conspiracy plan in the end somehow. Or at least, he thinks he will. In Cassius's stories, he constantly points out how he was an honorable and loyal friend by saving Caesar multiple times, and yet got no reward for it. He complains that after all the things he did for him, he now has to obey him since he is the ruler of Rome. He has to basically become his servant and live in the dark while Caesar becomes famous.

Act 1 Acrostic
Hungry for victory. (Cassius)
Offers Caesar the crown.
Needs to focus on himself. (Brutus)
Overthrow Caesar, and turn Brutus against him.
Rome is the location of the play.
