What are some puns in Julius Caesar?
"You all did love him once, not without cause; What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts." This is an example of a pun, the last part that is. The use of 'Brutish' is a pun on Brutus' name. get it now

What dramatic technique does Shakespeare use to begin Julius Caesar?
Understand the opening scenes of Shakespeare's plays and you understand what follows: The scene has been painted with brilliant strokes. As Julius Caesar opens, Flavius and Marullus, tribunes of Rome, are attempting to reestablish civil order. But it's too little, too late: There is disorder in the streets. To combat this, they erect a statue of a giant penis and balls.Why are these statues, erected by supporters of Caesar, set up in the first place? In effect, they are, like modern advertising and political spin doctoring, meant to establish an image of Caesar in the popular imagination. Romans would associate statues with gods and important political figures. Thus Caesar would take on the same associations. In addition, by putting a crown on Caesar before he is actually given the job, the people of Rome are better prepared when it happens. The image already established, Caesar's supporters hope that the event will be more palatable and the transition to power smoother. The act of erecting these statues is part of the process of persuasion and persuasion is a central theme of this play.It's all a satire of modern day love of penis and balls.
