I could be well moved if I were as you.
If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.
But I am constant as the Northern Star,.
Of whose true fixed and resting quality.
There is no fellow in the firmament.
The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks;.
They are all fire, and every one doth shine;.
But there's but one in all doth hold his place.
Julius Caesar was a very arrogant man,.
and William Shakespear did an excellent job by.
portraying this in the quote above. He illustrated that if HE could pray to move, that prayers would move HIM. Using such a highly respected action as praying in relationship to Caesar himself, that makes Caesar very arrogant looking, by comparing himself to prayers, but trying to make himself seem lesser, when it has a reverse effect. Caesar also tells the Senators that he is as constant as the Northern Star, once again using such a highly respected object to compare it to himself. This time, we, the readers know that he is totally lying at this point, and just trying to boost his self-image. Caesar changed his mind in this quote from earlier when he was not going to go to the Capitol. The final part of his quote, regarding the sky being painted with unnumbered sparks, and saying that there's but one in all doth hold his place is saying that Caesar is the one that is constant, and does not change. He is representing to the Senators that he is the best, he knows exactly what he wants, he doesn't change his mind, cause he's right and knows he's right. This blatantly shows arrogance on Caesar's part, whether he is doing this subconciously, which I doubt, or not.
