Julius ceaser

Caesar is easily manipulated because of his ambitious and arrogant behavior. When the conspirators asked Caesar to reconsider Publius’ exile, Caesar replied by stating, “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.” (Act III, scene I, ll. 58-60).
