Answer and Explanation:

The conflict between Cesar and his supporters against his conspirators occurs due to the discrepancy of vision, in relation to Cesar, that the conspirators and supporters have. While the conspirators frame Cesar as a manipulator, dangerous and hungry for power; supporters see him as a great leader and a thoughtful and efficient ruler. This duality can be seen in two moments, first in Act I, Scene II when Cassius tries to convince Brutus to stop supporting Cesar, take the reins of his own life and become a conspirator. This can also be seen in Act V, Scene I, when Cassius asks Brutus to not only stop supporting Cesar, but help murder him. In both cases, Brutus is confused whether or not he should support Cesar.

This confusion of Brutus is passed on to the reader, since Cesar has, in fact, great qualities and defects. This confusion is only broken by the positioning of Marco Antonio, who is extremely faithful to Caesar and presents all the hypocrisy of the conspirators to conspire and kill Cesar by showing that all of Caesar's acts were in favor of the Roman people.

"The Tragedie of Julius Caesar" was written by William Shakespeare and tells how the conspiracy that ended the life of Julio Cesar, the Roman dictator, was established, as well as tells the results and consequences of that assassination.

Answer:

Caesar and his sympathizers against his conspirators is related to the inconsistency of point of view towards Caesar that the conspirators and sympathizers have. Because the conspirators portray Caesar as manipulative, insecure and power-hungry; supporters see him as a huge boss and a thoughtful and efficient ruler. This duality can be seen in two moments: first in Act I, Scene II, when Cassius seeks to convince Brutus to stop helping Caesar, take charge of his own life, and become a conspirator. This can also be seen in Act V, Scene I, when Cassius demands that Brutus not only stop helping Caesar, but also help kill him. In both cases, Brutus does not know if he should help Caesar.

This confusion of Brutus is conveyed to the reader, because Caesar has, at first glance, gigantic qualities and shortcomings. This confusion is broken only by the position of Antony, who is resolutely loyal to Caesar and shows all the hypocrisy of the conspirators to plot and assassinate Caesar, teaching that all of Caesar's actions were in favor of the Roman people.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar was written by William Shakespeare and tells how the plot was set up to end the life of Roman dictator Julius Caesar and the results and aftermath of that assassination.
