An ignorant person is a person who demonstrates a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is a deadly weapon for anyone who can give in, because due to their lack of knowledge, they would be blissfully unaware of the danger that awaits them. In Julius Caesar, ignorance presented many characters. Although many of the key characters in Julius Caesar are all reasonable in their own way, they are all incapable of taking into account the opinion of their peers, which displays their own and which would ultimately cause their own death. The selfish and arrogant Julius Caesar seems to display great ignorance which caused his downfall in the form of betrayal. His character makes him naturally weak because even though he suspected Cassius at first, he did not act on his own suspicions. Many people also told him to beware of the Ides of March and to be wary of certain people. He did not listen to any of these warnings, although he had his own suspicions about a person who, after all, had thought of the plan to kill Julius. If he was sane and not ignorant, he would think that there would be people who would want to eliminate him. If he wasn't ignorant, he would have at least had someone spy on Cassius just to make sure he wasn't up to anything bad. If he were not ignorant, he would have heeded the many prophecies given to him by complete strangers, as they were all relevant to one another, but alas, he was ignorant. A sane person would have taken all of these freak coincidences into account before proceeding with his plan, which Julius did not do. In his final speech he said: “I could be very moved if I were like you; If I could pray to move, prayers would move me; but I am constant as the north star... Motionless;...... middle of paper ...... meeting the army of Mark Antony. He allows his army to become vulnerable to an ambush which drives Brutus to suicide. This is important because once again he ignores Cassius' plea and pursues what he thinks is the perfect plan. His main problem is that he doesn't listen to his peers. His peers provided excellent insight into his current predicament, which could have been helpful in preventing Brutus' death if Brutus had taken the time to think about it. Brutus's failure not to do so was an act of ignorance, which proved fatal. Ultimately, the main characters' ignorance comes from their inability to restrain their pride to truly consider the opinions of others. Brutus and Cassius did not communicate enough while Julius Caesar did not listen to others enough. Julius Caesar, Cassius and Brutus all displayed an ignorance that brought about their own demise..
