The story of pride and the desire to be the best man has been told in countless films and novels of all ages and times. Preston Burke, from Grey's Anatomy, who never wants to give up on improving his surgical skills, rarely admits that he sometimes gets things wrong. Towards the end of the second season, Burke was too proud to admit that he couldn't operate since he had been shot and his hands were shaking while operating on someone's heart. People often come into contact with pride in both the imaginary and real worlds. Much like the timeless story of Pride, the themes of William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, still appeal to audiences today. First, the leadership theme is an excellent example of being overconfident and acting as if he or she is above everyone else. Secondly, the theme of betrayal is brought to when a person thinks and acts based on what will benefit him. Finally, the theme of chaos results when the prescribed social order is broken when the previous two themes come together and work against a character or person. Therefore, the leadership, betrayal, and chaos that result from the breakdown of the prescribed social order are all tied together by the timeless story of never wanting to be wrong. First, leadership is important because it determines the stability and order of the government. Leadership is a quality that most people think they possess and that has developed over time. In act one scene two lines 149-160, Cassius explains to Brutus that the names "Brutus" and "Caesar" both have the same equally pleasant and authoritative sound, meaning that they should share power since one is not greater than the other. Cassius also mentions that Brutus is a noble man who can help lead Rome just like Caesar did, a… middle of paper… ay flows and how it is a timeless trait. The theme of chaos can occur at any point in the plot, it can arise from rumors, from preparing for an unwanted task, and from the repercussions of carrying out the unwanted task. Chaos is a timeless theme and outlines the results of making senseless decisions. Shakespeare's themes of leadership, betrayal, and chaos in his play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar all contribute to his exceptional writing and address it with pride. Leadership, betrayal, and chaos are all examples of taking control, not wanting to admit your wrongdoings, and the results of not recognizing your shortcomings. These descriptions also describe Preston Burke from Grey's Anatomy who encounters many difficulties and has difficulty taking control of his life, admitting his mistakes and suffers from the ramifications of his actions.
