Stairs of J.C.


          I chose the stairs as my object  because it reminded me of the place where both Brutus and Antony delivered their powerful speeches. In Act 3 Scene 1, Antony stood at the top of stairs in order to be above all the citizens making it easier for him to be heard. If he hadn't been on a raised surface, no one would have wanted to listen to him. The stairs gave his speech a huge boost. The effect they had  resulted in the successful persuasion of the people. They were able to see Caesars intentions from a different perspective. This is also the place where Caesars body was placed for all of them to see. The stairs were a very important part in the story in my opinion. Things could have turned out differently if the speeches hadn't been given on them.
