How Does Shakespeare Present Fate In Julius?
Fate is something that controls your future and sets it out. It cant be avoided, you have to live with it. You can try anything but it wont change your fate because its already set out for you.
Shakespeare shows fate when Brutus said “Arming Myself With Patience To Stay The Providence Of Some High Powers That Govern Us Below”. <–In that quote Brutus is saying that he should be patience and and let the high powers that govern us guide us, Brutus is saying that the High powers have already set out my path and that i should stay patient untill i get to the path fate has chosen for me.
The way shakespeare used fate with Cassius.
The way he used fate with cassius was when he said “The Gods to-day stand friendly, that we may” Hes trying to say that God is friendly with us and not ending our lives at this moment and letting us live one. Thats what i think amd thats how am explaing it. Cassius used fate in that quote.
Shakespeare used fate with both brutus and cassius, it was really hard to find it out but the way he expressed it was easier to find out.

John,
Your introduction shows a clear understanding of fate (but you must now link this into how you think Shakespeare has shown fate throughout the play). You have chosen clear quotations from the given scene and attempted to explore how they link to fate.
Targets:
1) Aim to be more more formal – for instance, avoid using the word ‘basically’.
2) Refer to at least tow other scenes from the play where you think fate is shown
3) Identify and explore the effect of figurative language devices
