A Picture Fit for Caesar

          The picture I took that I could relate to Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, was one of a crown. In Antony’s funeral speech for the Caesar he talks about how he “thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse.” Basically what that means is three times Caesar was offered to become the king of Rome, and three times he refused the title. It was one of Antony’s arguments he used to contradict Brutus’ saying of Caesar being “too ambitious.” When I saw the crown, it made me thing about how Caesar had refused the crown, and Antony’s moving funeral speech.
