What can be avoided Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods? Yet Caesar shall go forth, for these predictions Are to the world in general as to Caesar.
Shakespeare uses this language to indicate that fate is pre-determined. If the Gods want him to die, then so be it. It refers to the Graeco-Roman Paganism that Julius Caesar followed, where he isn't scared of what is ahead, as if God had placed him on this trail. As a son of Mars, he must be feared, and look ahead no matter the odds. Shakespeare uses hamartia which foreshadows the downfall of and the eventual assassination of Caesar. This is displayed through Caesar's stature and power. His stature and power within Rome indicates how if he kept staying for those fears, then he would be portrayed as a coward. Inside Caesar's mind, we see that he thinks his reputation is far more important, than several warnings by the Gods. Even if death is waiting before him, he spurns himself to go for the better of Rome. The last line, "Are to the world in general as to Caesar", is a justification that death happens to anyone, and he explains to Calpurnia that these predictions are simply just a fallacy, based on no truth that Caesar will actually die.
