The most interesting character in the Matyszak notes

Classically the most interesting character from the chapter had to be Julius Caesar. That man was overwhelmed with power and confidence and I found those traits to be very interesting. He lead so many battles and was not afraid of death of honestly the consequences of his actions. The fact that he was so arrogant with power that he walked into his own assassination without fear is very interesting. Who in their right mind would be so arrogant with so many enemies? The way that he was such a ladies man was also kind of funny almost as good as being a hard partier like Mark Anthony. Overall I think that Caesar was really interesting because of his strong leadership, arrogance and power.

  1. I'm not sure if Caesar walked into his death trap because of arrogance. He just was not very superstitious, and so he disregarded the warnings of an Etruscan priest/seer (haruspex). Caesar held several important Roman priesthoods himself, but he was in many ways a modern, rational thinker, and that proved to be fatal for him.
