Caesar, even in the presence, and while being threatened by savage pirates, was not under the least bit of concern. He was never afraid of the savages, or was threatened by them, because, of course, he was Caesar, and thought that he would be forever immortal. Therefore, he immediately took a leader position among them and thought he had the right to instruct and treat them in the ways that he did. Very sure of himself, Caesar believed that he would not be touched or manhandled in any way by these people, and if they tried to, he was confident that he could have handled the situation. He also knew that they would not kill him because he was the ticket to the ransom money. Caesars self-assurance and demeanor were what got him through times, and what eventually led to his downfall. People were unsure of the ways in which he would act, because he could sway in whatever way he thought would be best for his image. The incident in which he was kidnaped only showed how ‘brave' he was, and when word of it reached the people, they would certainly be proud of their sort of leader. Caesar also needed people to be in command of, in order to make himself feel wanted, just like he needed to keep himself in good standing position with the people of Rome, so he could eventually take a position of power and rule Rome the way he thought it should be run.
