So far in the beginning of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare has foreshadowed of what is about to come next. Casca and Brutus get into a fight about Caesar. Casca is against Caesar, and does not want him to be liked by others. Caesar was offered the crown, to be leader of Rome, by Marc Anthony for three times, but Caesar refused to accept it. Casca complains that he does not deserve to be leader because of his rejection. But what Brutus and the people do not know is that Caesar does want to be leader, and not accepting the crown is an act. This foreshadows that Caesar will be leader, the people of Rome will not be happy and Casca might try to hurt him in the end.
Already Shakespeare is foreshadowing Caesar's death. When Brutus and Cassius are talking to one another about Caesar possibly becoming king their conversation foreshadows Caesar's assassination. "'What means this shouting? I do fear the people choose Caesar as their king.''Ay, do you fear it? Then must I think you would not have it so.''I would not Cassius...' Brutus shows his concern if Caesar did ever become king and Cassius agrees later on that he would never want Caesar to be his king. This foreshadows that Caesar is going be assassinated because know that the only way to keep Caesar from being king is to kill him. Brutus even says he doesn't want to kill Caesar, "I would not, Cassius. Yet I love him very well." This foreshadows that Brutus will regret his decision to assassinate Caesar and will have conflicting emotions as to if what he did was for the better or not.
As I read Shakespeare's Julias Ceasar I realized there was alot of foreshadowing. One example is when Casca and Brutus were fighting about Ceasar becoming king. Casca was really against Ceasar being king. Ceasar didn't even accept the crown from Anthony.Brustus was standing up for Ceasar but little does Brutus know Ceasar is putting on an act of not wanting to be king. This forshadows how much Ceasar can get away with and how he will not be liked as a the king of Rome. If he can fool Brutus to thinking he doesnt want to be king what else will Ceasar be able to get away with.
Shakespeare uses foreshadowing in Julius Caesar a number of times. The most rememberal time was the old man telling Caesar to beware the Ides of March. Historically, Julius Caesar does meet his doom on the Ides of March, but in the story this is foreshadowing because this old man seems to be some kind of psycic, which gives away the literary element. Caesar takes no notice of this man who seems to be insane, in the long run Caesar should have listened to him. Another example of foreshadowing was when Brutus and Cassius were talking about Caesar becoming king and Brutus does not agree with that fact. This foreshadows Brutus killing Caesar in the end.
Throughout the first two scenes of Julius Caesar William Shakespeare uses several different examples of foreshadowing. One example is when Brutus and Cassius are discussing Caesar becoming a king. Neither Brutus or Cassius care for Julius and they do not understand why everyone looks up to him. Both become upset and they try to say things to cheer each other up. While the two are talking it seems as if their conversation foreshadows possibly the death of Julius Caesar. Brutus and Cassius’ conversation about Caesar being liked by all the Romans is just one example of foreshadowing in the first two scenes of the play.
Already in the first two acts of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Shakespeare is foreshadowing Caesar's death. At a party, the first time we see Caesar, a man come up to him and says "Beware the Ides of March." This man was warning Caesar that on March 15th something bad was going to happen to him. As well as this going on Casca and Brutus get into a fight over Caesar getting the crown. Casca doesn’t think that Caesar should get the crown, and Brutus and the others don’t understand that Caesar secretly wants to be king. This situation foreshadows that Caesar will be killed, because no one wants him to be king and the only way to prevent him from being king is to kill him.
Shakespeare uses foreshowing when the fortune teller says "beware the ides of March". This statement implies that something bad will happen in the middle of March. Another example is when Brutus and Cassius are arguing. I sense that they are getting fed up with Caesar and the way that he treats them, so maybe they are the ones who will kill Caesar.
sorry about that, it went under my brothers username
Shakespeare has already used foreshadowing in quite a few different ways. When Brutus and Cassius are talking about Caesar possibly becoming their king, they foreshadow that Caesar will be killed at the end of the play. “I do fear that people choose Caesar as their king. “…Do you fear it? Then must I think you would not have it so. “I would not….” From the quote you can see that Brutus is very alarmed about the fact that Caesar may become the king. Cassius will later agree that he also, does not want him to become king. This foreshadows the assassination because Brutus and Cassius both intend that the only way to make is so that he doesn’t become king, is for him to be killed. Later on the two say that they would never want to hurt him, but if it’s the only way to make it so that he isn’t the king than they will do what must be done. This part of the play is an excellent example of foreshadowing.
Throughout Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare uses foreshadowing a number of times. During the first two acts Shakespeare has already foreshadows Caesar’s death. Casca and Brutus get into an argument over the fact that Caesar is going to get crown. Neither Brutus nor Casca care for Caesar, so they don’t believe that he should become king. Later on in the play this fight will foreshadow Caesar’s death. When they arrive at the party, a man approaches him and says, “Beware the Ides of March.” This man is warning Caesar that something bad is going tot happen to him.
In the first two scenes of Julius Caesar Shakespere is already foreshadowing Caesar's death. The Soothsayer told Caesar to beware the Ides of March. This is foreshadowing Caesars death. It is foreshadowing because Caesar was assasinated in the Ides of march. Another Element of foreshadowing is when Brutus and Casca are talking about Caesar. Casca is already trying to get people to dislike Caesar.
Shakespeare uses foreshadowing in the first two scenes of the play. The character the soothsayer says “Beware the Ides of March. Caesar “what man is that? Brutus “A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March” Caesar set him before me; let me see his face.” Cassisus “fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.” Caesar “What say’st thou to me now? Speak once again.” Soothsayer “Beware ides of March.” Caesar “he is a dreamer. Let us leave him. pass.” Basically the soothsayer is telling Caesar to beware of March 15 because obviously something is going to happen to Caesar then but he doesn’t realize it yet and he doesn’t want to believe the soothsayer. He also doesn’t want to be afraid because it is his downfall and he doesn’t want people to know is he scared.
Shakespeare uses foreshadowing in the first two scenes of Julius Caesar in several different ways. For example, Brutus and Cassius have a conversation about how they dislike Julius Caesar in the beginning of the play. Brutus and Cassius don’t want Caesar to become the king of Rome. Also, they don’t understand how the Roman people like Caesar. They get angry and upset about this, but then try and cheer each other up. The conversation between Brutus and Cassius can be interpreted as and foreshadowed as Caesars death. This example of foreshadowing is one of the many examples throughout the play.
In the first few scenes of Caesar, Shakespeare foreshadows many different things. With soothsayer saying to Caesar to beware the ideas of March. This would be foreshadowing that their would be troubles to come in March. Caesar doesn’t head to this warning and will eventually die. Another instance of foreshadowing is when Caesar if giving a crow but merely rejects it, although he really wants it and will eventually take it.

This situation foreshadows that Caesar will be killed, because no one wants him to be king. This part of the play is an excellent example of foreshadowing.
Shakespeare uses the storm to forshadow the gods punishing Caesar. That the god are angered by it and is showing it by the thunder storm and setting people on fire. Another example of foreshadowing is when the old guy tells Ceasar beware the ides march forshadowing that he is going to be killed.
Shakespeare uses foreshadowing in Julius Caesar many times. One example of Shakespeare's use of foreshadowing is when the Soothsayer tells Caesar "Beware the Ides of March." When Caesar heard this he thought nothing of it. But the Soothsayer said it for a reason. He was warning Caesar for his own good. The Soothsayer was foreshadowing the death of Caesar. Another example of foreshadowing is when Cassius and Brutus are talking about Caesar. Cassius says how he is worried that the people choose Caesar as their king, which infers that he does not want Caesar to become the king. This foreshadows the death of Caesar because some people are beginning to conspire against him.
In the first two scenes of Julius Caesar Shakespeare uses forshadowing to lead the reader what is going to happen next. Shakespeare is forshadowing the upcoming of Caesars death by saying "Beware the Ides of March!" This forshadows his death because was killed in the Ides of March. Another example of Shakespeares use of forshadowing is when Brutus and Cassius are talking and arguing about Caeser. This shows that they dont like him and can lead to his death.
One example of how Shakespeare uses foreshadowing is when the soothsayer tells Caesar to beware the ides or March. That foreshadows that something bad is going to happen in the next few scenes. The reason they say that is because they want you to think or want you to read more so that you see what might happen. If something weren’t going to happen then they wouldn’t have said that. That makes the reader want to keep reading. That is a used of capturing the reader.
Shakespeare already uses a lot of foreshadowing in the beginning of Julius Caesar, or at least lets us into his characters to better understand their intentions. Casca is completely against Caesar, and does not under any circumstances want people to like him. This foreshadows that something bad is going to happen to Caesar in general. Also, Brutus and Cassius have a conversation in which Brutus doesn’t agree that Caesar should be king, which foreshadows him killing Caesar. But he also denies that he would ever kill Caesar, so it foreshadows him regretting the fact that he does kill Caesar in the end.
The biggest example of foreshadowing that stands out to me in the play "Julius Caesar," is when Julius Caesar was walking through the square or street and a soothsayer said to him, "Beware the ides of March." This line foreshadowed that something would happen during the ides of March that would be occur against Caesar and may be very fatal for him. Something bad will happen that is against Caesar. This event that is being foreshadowed is most likely the assassination of Julius Caesar.
Shakespeare's Julias Ceasar I realized there was alot of foreshadowing. One example is when Brutus and Cassius are discussing Caesar becoming a king. They foreshadow that Caesar will be killed at the end of the play. “I do fear that people choose Caesar as their king. “…Do you fear it? Then must I think you would not have it so. “I would not….” Brutus and Cassius have a conversation in which Brutus doesn’t agree that Caesar should be king, which foreshadows him killing Caesar. Caesar and Brutus will have conflicting emotions as to if what he did was for the better or not.

throught out the play there is forshadowing wether its the phycic in the crowd who warns caeser of his demise on the ides of march
"beware the ides of march". or it can also be shown when brutus and cassuis have a conversation in act 1 about how to bring down caeser. also the famous dream calpurnia had of a statue of caeser bleeding from knife wounds. She alerts caeser but caeser thinks nothing of it and doesnt heed her warning which sadly let to his demise.
Shakespeare uses the literary element of foreshadowing to help his readers understand the events that took place in Julius
Caesar. An example of foreshadowing was the scene when the soothsayer warned caesar to "beware the ides of march". After that warning Casear did meet his doom during the Ides of March. This scene was a good example of foreshadowing, a clue to suggest event that will occur later on in the story.
In the beginning of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare is already using a lot of foreshadowing especially about Caesar’s death. One example is when Brutus and Cassius were talking about Caesar becoming king and how they don’t think that Caesar would be a good ruler and that the only way to avoid him from becoming king is by killing him. This foreshadows Caesar being killed by Brutus. Another example of foreshadowing is when the soothsayer tells Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March.” He was warning Caesar about Brutus’s betrayal evenn though Brutus claims that he would never kill Caesar.
Casca is very opposing to Ceasar so far and i think that this will end in Casca standing up and doing what he thinks is right. He does not think that Ceasar should be a leader. Another example of forshadowing in Julias Ceasar is when the soothsayer told Ceasar to "beware the ides of March" This must forshadow something later in the strory and i think something might happen to Ceasar on the ides of March.
