The Essenes were a Jewish sect known for their strict adherence to religious laws and practices, as well as their rejection of Roman authority. They viewed the Romans as oppressive and impure, and chose to live in isolated communities to avoid contact with them. The Essenes believed in a coming apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil, in which they saw the Romans as agents of darkness.

ProfessorOh honey, the Essenes weren't exactly throwing a welcome party for the Romans. They were like "thanks but no thanks" to Roman rule, choosing to live in their own little peaceful community away from all the drama. They were all about their spiritual beliefs and weren't about to let some power-hungry Romans mess with their zen vibes.
i have absolutely no idea. i got the question in my religion textbook ahaha
How would you feel if there was an occupying imperial army in your country? There were collaborators who tried to live with the occupiers (the Saducees). There were separatists who tried to live despite the occupiers (the Pharasees) and there were rebels who wanted to fight (the Zealots). To keep the Zealots down, the Roman forces crucified thousands; that was the usual fate of anyone thought by the Roman forces to be advocating rebellion. In the year 66, the Zealots revolted, and it took Rome 7 years to quash the rebellion. In the process, they destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Between 115 and 117, there was another revolt, and a final revolt in between 132 and 136. The Roman response to the final revolt was to destroy Jerusalem and sell a big fraction of the surviving Jews into slavery. To quote Monty Pythons's Life of Bryan, "the Jews are revolting," was nearly the normal state of affairs.
