                                   Compare and contrast

Im comparing and contrasting Julius Caesar to Hamlet done by William Shakespear. In Julius Caesar, Caesar is being plotted against to be killed by Brutus the rightful heir to the thrown of Rome, in Hamlet, the king of Denmark was poisoned by his brother and he takes Hamlets rightful heir to the thrown. (That was a comparison) contrast. In Julius Caesar they are planing to kill him but in Hamlet the king was killed from the get go (the movie starts off at the funeral of the old king). In Julius Caesar the conspirators were meeting alone but in hamlet the king and queen act suspiciously around hamlet when the old king is mentioned. Contrast. Since the old king was killed before -hand the conspiring had already been done in J.C. the conspirators haven’t killed Caesar yet but they are planning it. Now hamlet was told to get revenge for his fathers death so hamlet is thinking that if this ghost is from hell and he kills the new king then hamlet will be dragged down to hell so he decides to put on a play that he can see if the cuprite  (new king) will act the new king freaks out because it was the same way that he had killed his brother. In J.C.  when the conspirators think if they need to kill anybody else Caesars best friend Antony is brought up but that wasn’t a good idea Antony has some powerful friends and they would seek revenge for the death of their friend. (comparison). In J.C. Caesar is beginning to get paranoid so he’s not going out as much, in Hamlet once the new king finds out that hamlet has realized that he has killed the king he begins to watch his back because hamlet may just kill him.
(Contrast). In J.C. Caesar is paranoid because he has a lot of people that don’t like him, in Hamlet the new king is paranoid because Hamlet has found out that he has killed his father and may want revenge.
