In at least two to three sentences, where you analyze the tone the character Marullus uses to express his interpretation of Caesar's return. Then explain how this is similar or different from the interpretation the painter has depicted? Use specific examples to support your observations. Use proper spelling and grammar.

@Jennjuniper Help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know what the question is referring to, sorry. :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Julius Caesar @Jennjuniper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the book?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @Jennjuniper I believe so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i haven't read it, sorry. i have no clue who Marullus is either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay, Do you know who could help me with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme tag someone who could.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.mccormick could you possibly help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@asatt32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't read it either, sorry.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

First, do you knw what tone is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The attitude of the character right?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

That is part of it. Here is a really good example of it applied: http://literarydevices.net/tone/ What is being said in both lines is effecivly the same information wise. But the tone is very different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OK, so, what do you think the tone of Marullus is in the picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well he doesnt really look happy @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Hmmm... Well, on the sign he is holding it says Veni, vidi, vici. One of the few Latin phrases I know. It means I came, I saw, I conquered. If we look at The Triumph Of Julius Caesar, Plate 9, bu Andreani and Andrea a little closer: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Triunphus_Caesaris_plate_9_-_Andreani.jpg Well, he seems to be bowing a little as he holds up a sign using Caesar's on quote to complement him. So perhaps a little submissive and appreciative in tone.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Rosy cheeks, no frown, holding up a sign of Caesar, and surrounded by cherubs. That is the painting. But how about the play? What happens to Flavius and Murellus in the play? How do they act towards Caesar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flavius is against Caesar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes, and in the opening he is with Murellus. There are some people, cobblers, that are there to cheer Caesar. But what does Murellus say? MARULLUS Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The livelong day, with patient expectation, To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome: And when you saw his chariot but appear, Have you not made an universal shout, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, To hear the replication of your sounds Made in her concave shores? And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday? And do you now strew flowers in his way That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Pray to the gods to intermit the plague That needs must light on this ingratitude. Soes that sound at all supportive of Caesar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it does not @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

So I would use how they act in times like that in the play vs. the image to contrast the two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the three sentences @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, Murellus is only at the start and then there is the report by Casca that Marullus and Flavius were put to death for disrobing statues of Caesar. So you can use one line to describe the tone in the picure, one the tone in the play, and a third to say how these are different. And it says at least, so if you need 4 or 5, you can do so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you give me an example on what to start off with? @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

I already have. I have talked about how he looks in the picture and the meaning of the standard he caries. That is a good place to start.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank-You friend :) @e.mccormick I have an idea what to write now.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

The first couple paragraps here describe why "veni, vidi, vici" is a pro-Caesar saying on the banner: http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/caesar-said-veni-vidi-vici Basically, it is pointing out a famous quote of Caesar's sucessful conquest.
