In the chapter XXIII of the New Testament, King Herod Antipas was forced to keep John the Baptist, a faithful man, in his prison for Queen Herodias against his releasing due to John’s objection to her marriage with the King. When the young daughter of Queen Herodias, the princess, was permitted an oath by the King through the way of pleasing him. When she turned to her mother to inquire what shall she asked, the mother said without sympathy and forgiveness: “The head of John the Baptist.” The King Herod was not willing but to obey the promise made by himself, and due to the reason of killing a faithful prophet, the King himself at the end was sent out of his own country, and what’s more, all the riches and honors he possessed were taken by the Lord.
The film Julius Caesar in 1953 by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar have versions that play different scenes and include the same settings on the play. In the film the director was making the scenes to be more visual than the play that William Shakespeare’s originally made. Moreover the play is preferable than the movie because in the play the reading has more detailed information, and the movie skipped some scenes.

Plot-I said before that movie follow the play’s main plot sequence, but there are many minor changes which disrupt original movie intent that following main plot sequence is almost useless in its purpose. Since the movie follows the play, it is more like what was different rather than what was left out from the play. For example Bottom is humiliated by a group of nasty young men pouring wine over him, and that doesn’t seem like who Bottom should be as a complicated character in Shakespeare’s play. So in a way, what director chose to leave out is what original “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” supposes to mean in the end. That is why pretty much most of the play was changed in the movie as the atmosphere of the original play is gone.

Shitfaced Shakespeare a Midsummer night 's dream has been one of the funniest plays! I had a great time, I was laughing all time long. Everything was super funny.

In Matthew 2, it claims that Herod kills the all baby boys in Bethlehem that are younger than two years. There is no evidence to prove this but it does not seem far off based off of the history of Herod’s character. The book of Matthew is very negative about the Roman empire and its allies. The Gospels present Rome’s world as under God’s judgement, it presents Jesus as the Son of Man entrusted with God’s rule. Rome’s armies are destroyed along with the cosmetic deities that sanctioned its power, and God’s life-giving rule or kingdom for all people is established.
