Abstrakt: The article examines the manipulative power of gesture in the context of the play "Julius Caesar," by William Shakespeare. Topics covered include the connection between the gesture of hand-shaking with the quality of constancy, ways rhetorical gestures is used to convince a crowd of people and the connection between Shakespeare's self-conscious theatricality of action with concerns about the performative nature in politics in the play and in the Elizabethan England.
