“If it were within, within our powerBeyond the reach of slavish prideTo no longer harbor grievancesBehind the mask's opportunists facadeWe could welcome the responsibilityLike a long lost friendAnd re-establish laughterIn the dolls house once againFor time has imprisoned us
In the order of our yearsIn the discipline of our waysAnd in the passing of momentary stillnessWe can see our chaos in motionOur chaos in motionWe can see our chaos in motionView our chaos in motion”


These are the lyrics from a song called “In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-eyed are Kings.” This song is by the group named Dead Can Dance. Straying away from the relation of this song to our topic I would like to point out the meaning of the title. I think that it may mean that a man of even limited ability is at a great advantage in the company of those less able. This meaning even relates to Caesar directly considering that he has many health defects like the deafness in his left ear and his case of epilepsy.

Caesar may seem fitting to be the emperor of Rome and a person who is very respectable but little do the people of Rome know that he is hidden behind a facade. He appears to be a man of great merit to those unknowing of his true intentions. Caesar of truly one who has the pride of someone with low aims and character. Being an opportunist, Caesar takes any chance he can get to turn the favor in his direction. Using Decius’ interpretation of Calphurnia’s dream as an excuse to see the senate is a good example. Using the quote “How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia!I am ashamed I did yield to them.Give me my robe, for I will go.”
