In the scene of Caesars death, Shakespeare uses Caesar’s Hubris against him. This creates a lot of tension in the scene. Caesar says “Doth not Brutus bootless kneel” moments before the tragic event. He also says “Hence! Wilt thou lift up Olympus?” This quote is figurative language as he believes that he will become one of the gods that live in Olympus. This shows that Caesar believes that he is as powerful as the Greek gods.
He also replies to Brutus as he dies. He says “et tu brute?” This means that Caesar want Brutus to die aswell later. Shakespeare may have used this quotation as a metaphor to say that he will get revenge from what Brutus did to him.
