When he sees how happy the crowd is, Shakespeare writes that Caesar opens his 'doublet' and asks the crowd to cut his throat open if they did not love him. Every time that Caesar refuses to take the crown, the common people cheer and are excited. Caesar refuses to take the crown, and Mark Antony offers it a total of three times. His friend, Mark Antony, offers him a crown as a symbol of the people's wish for him to become king. In this scene, Caesar is interacting with the common people. While there is no way to know if it was on purpose, choosing to include this anachronism in the play enhances the dramatic effect of the scene.ДЄnother example of an anachronism in Julius Caesar comes in Act 1, Scene 2. Measuring droplets of water is far less dramatic then a clock striking. People in Caesar's day told time by measuring the amount of water dropped into a bowl by a rotating wheel. This anachronism may may have been intentionally included as humor or even as reference to striking as an attack. Since clocks that could move and 'strike' were not yet invented, this reference is out of place. Cassius tells the other conspirators that the clock struck three. The ClockД¬locks that could move like the one mentioned in Act 2, Scene 1 of Julius Caesar had not been invented. In Julius Caesar there are several interesting anachronisms. Whether an author uses anachronisms as a tool or simply as a mistake is a matter of debate. An anachronism is something that appears to be in the wrong time. A man dressed in a black suit is sitting on bench with a laptop opened and is seemingly typing away. As your eyes scan the photo, you see something bizarre. The black and white grain shows all the light and darkness of the day. Imagine looking at a photograph from the 1920's.
