After analyzing the play “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” I discovered that the characteristics of betrayal, deceit and exaggeration were abundant in the character of Cassius. Cassius was the leader of the conspirators against Caesar. There are similarities between Cassius and Adolf Hitler. Both were hungry for power and control over their respective nations. Adolf Hitler was a tyrant leader in Germany. He was the head of the Nazi Party and his aggressive foreign policy is considered a major factor attributed to World War II. The Great Depression in Germany created opportunities for Hitler. Germany was suffering and people were willing to consider any different option to improve life (Wikipedia). Hitler was named Chancellor of Germany, giving him power over the legislative and executive branches of government. This power was the beginning of his empire. The other parties existing at the time were intimidated and disbanded giving Hitler the power he desired (Wikipedia). Hitler was similar in my opinion to Cassius in that he was an excellent orator and had great influence on the German people using rhetoric. His followers were strong; as a result, he managed to make people believe that what he was doing was for the good of all. In his speech of April 10, 1923 he uses a rhetorical question: “Today we no longer have the sword in our fist: how can we have a successful economic policy?” (Hitler Historical Museum). Furthermore, December 4, 1940 uses repetition of his words “Forty-six million Britons dominate and govern about 16 million square miles of the surface of the earth. Thirty-seven million French dominate and govern a total area of ​​about 4 million... half of the paper... yal. Neither will be forgotten and both will be remembered for their cold-hearted and ruthless actions. They didn't think twice about taking the lives of others. Works Cited "Adolf Hitler". Wikipedia.
