Week VIII: Political Figure Analysis

Caesar is most similar to Napoleon Bonaparte. This is because, like Napoleon, Caesar was a great conqueror. Also like Napoleon, Caesar's rule was brought to a premature end.
Brutus is most like Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell wanted what he thought was best for his country, the overthrow of the king, but unlike what happened with Brutus, Cromwell won. But after a short five year reign as "Lord Procter" of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, he died. Two years after, the Royalists regained power. Vice President Biden and Cassius have a lot in common. They both are power-hungry individuals They are very aggressive and aren't afraid to enhance the truth.Sometimes they say the wrong things, and later on their words come back and hurt them. They are also bulling and rude.
Mark Antony is akin to Ronald Reagan for these reasons. When Mark Antony spoke he was very direct and to the point, not overly flowering his speeches, Reagan did the same. When Mark Antony said he would do something, it was done, the same with Reagan.
