Examples Of Ignorant In Julius Caesar

When you build a puzzle, it gets easier as you move on. When there are 1,000 pieces left, there is so much opportunity, but when there are 10 pieces left, it would be hard not to see the match. This is what Caesar was like throughout Julius Caesar, clue after clue he didn’t understand. Caesar is ignorant because he is overconfident in his power and trusts people too much.
To start off, I think that Caesar should have been less trustful in his friends, and not have been so gullible. Caesar said it himself that, “She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, / which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts, / did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it” (2.2.81-87) . This is directly the way that Caesar dies,

We see this as Caesar is headed into the capitol to meet with the senate where he thinks he will gain rule, but does not know he is about to be killed. Artemidorus tells Caesar, “O Caesar, for mine’s a suit / That touches Caesar nearer. Read it, great Caesar” (3.1.6-7). Artemidorus has a paper that warned Caesar of the plot of his death which could have directly stopped him from dying. He was quite ignorant to not question further, especially with all the other odd plots, omens and warnings he has been receiving lately. However, I don’t think this is entirely Caesar’s fault because of what Cassius has to say which might have prevented Caesar from reading the paper out of peer pressure, “What, urge you your petitions in the street? / Come to the Capitol” (3.1.12-13). Cassius’s judgment probably made Caesar feel like an idiot if he ended up listening to what Caesar had to say would feel like an outcast from his friends if he didn't just head to the Capitol. This also brings back to Caesar’s confidence in his power because he was probably a mix with the pressure from Cassius and he was again overconfident in
