Stronger- Kanye West lyrics[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/stronger-lyrics-kanye-west.html ]

This song relates to our topic of ambition because it is all about never giving up and always working harder and making yourself more powerful. This song relates to the progression of our topic in the play so far because Caesar is always working hard and trying to be the most powerful ruler by conquering other lands. But mean while the conspirators are working to remove Caesar and replace him with Brutus because they hate Caesar.

The lyrics in this song represent never giving up on the path you are on no matter what is happening to you, and to keep on that path to become more powerful, because bad things can only make you stronger unless you let them break you. This song basically represents what is happening with Caesar right now even if he doesn’t realize it yet.

"He had a fever when he was in Spain,
And when the fit was on him, I did mark
How he did shake; ’tis true, this god did shake.
His coward lips did from their color fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster; I did hear him groan;
Ay, and that tongue of his, that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried, “Give me some drink, Titinius,”
As a sick girl."
This part from the play is very important and directly relates to our topic of ambition. This was Cassius speaking to Brutus about how Caesar is weak and doesn't deserve to be considered a "god." We can tell just from the tone and what he says that Cassius wants to get Caesar out of power and he is very ambitious to do so. This is really the first big thing to happen when the plot is unfolding. With this speech that Cassius gave Brutus we now realized that Cassius is the antagonist of the story and it even foreshadows the play a little.
In the beginning of this quote Cassius said that Caesar had a fever and it made him shake while they were in Spain. He calls him a God out of mockery saying that he actually shook. Cassius is explaining to Brutus that Caesar is just a normal person and maybe even less of a man then both of them. This clearly shows that Cassius is very ambitious to defeat Caesar by the way he attacks and insults him. Then he said that his lips turned white and the eyes that everyone is scared of lost their gleam. This is more detail about how Caesar is not godly at all. Then finally he says that Caesar's tongue that orders Romans around was asking him for a drink like a sick little girl. Cassius continued with the insults and sounded very convincing with everything he said. Overall you can just tell this line symbolized ambition because Cassius is on attack the whole time and the tone gives it away.

Ambitioin Acrostic

An ardent desire for fame, rank, or power.

Men throughout history had ambition.

Brutus helped to end Caesar's want for power.

In Rome three people ruled and wanted power.

That was called a triumvirate.

I believe ambition can be a poison.

Oh how ambition is used.

Never would Caesar get what he wanted so badly.
