In the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare the character has control of their own actions by fate. Although Calphurnia had a dream about Caesar being a statue, or in the other words he was soon to die. Caesar did not believe that fate rule his life, but Decius persuaded him. The dream was all a miss interpreted. It was a vision fair and fortunate.Your statue spouting blood in many pipes, in which so many smiling Romans bathed, signifies that from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood, and that great men shall press for tinctures, stains,relies, and cognizance. This by Calphurnia dream is signified.
Decius say if you shall send them word you will not come today. Cannot is false, and that I dare not, falser. I will not come today. Tell them so, Decius. Shall Caesar send a lie ? Have I conquest stretched my arm so far, to be afeard to tell them Caesar will not come. Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, i laughed at when i tell them so. This cause is my will. I will not come. That is enough to satisfy the Senate. But for your private satisfaction, because i love you, I will let you know. Calphurnia here, my wife, stays at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue.
If you send them word you will not come, their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock Apt to be rendered, for someone to say ‘’Break up the Senate until another time, When Caesar’s wife shall meet with better dreams’’. If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper. “Lo, Caesar is afraid’’? Pardon me, Caesar for my dear love to your proceeding bids me tell you this, and reason to my love is liable.
