Explaining Julius Caesar clip

The video shows when Julius Caesar is having a seizure, which was talked about in act 1 scene 2 in the play. Julius Caesar was a great man who knew how to appeal to everyone. He also was born with a troubling disorder called epilepsy. Life is full of things we can and can't control, but all have the choice to live our life's to the fullest potential. The this scene relates to fate vs. free will because everyone is born with some type of hindrance which may last your whole life but you also have the choice of overcoming it and becoming great. Caesar was was not perfect but tried making up for his faults by his good deeds.
Major parts in this clip was when Julius Caesar was standing at the top of the stairs of an official building. this shows Caesar's political power and this shows his free will because he chose to be a political leader. His fate is that he will always suffer from epilepsy, in the clip Caesar was having an uncontrollable seizure. This is apart of Caesar fate because he cannot change his fate. The character involved was Julius Caesar the main character of the play, who is adored and admired by many and despised by few. A quote from Casca about the scene showed in the clip "he fell down in the market-place and foamed at the mouth and was speechless".
