Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare"Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It portrays the conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination and its aftermath. It is one of several Roman plays that he wrote, based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.Although the title of the play is Julius Caesar, he is not the central character in its action; he appears in only three scenes and dies at the beginning of the third act. The protagonist of the play is Marcus Brutus and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship.The play reflected the general anxiety of England due to worries over succession of leadership. At the time of its creation and first performance, Queen Elizabeth, a strong ruler, was elderly and had refused to name a successor, leading to worries that a civil war similar to that of Rome's might break out after her death."Other Titles of William Shakespeare Books1.Alls Well That Ends Well2.Antony and Cleopatra3.As You Like It4.Comedy of Errors5.Coriolanus6.Cymbeline7.Hamlet8.King Henry the Fourth Part I9.King Henry the Eighth10.King Henry the Fifth11.King Henry the Fourth Part II12.King Henry The Sixth Part I13.King Henry The Sixth Part II14.King Henry the Sixth Part III15.King John16.King Lear17.King Richard the Second18.King Richard the Third19.Loves Labour Lost20.Macbeth21.A Lovers Complaint22.Measure for Measure23.Merchant of Venice24.Merry Wives of Windsor25.Midsummers' Night Dream26.Much Ado About Nothing27.Othello28.Pericles Prince of Tyre29.Rape of Lucrece30.Romeo and Juliet31.Sonnets32.Taming of the

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”Wow. Being a history major and just all around history nerd I know a lot of Julius Caesar and what caused everyone and their mother to turn against him which led to his assassination by some accounts believe is at least 60 men. I always...
I am surprised that it has taken me this long to actually get around to re-reading this play so as to write a commentary on it considering that it happens to be one of my favourite Shakespearian plays. The copy that I own belonged to my uncle and the notes that have been scribbled into the book indi...
"'Tis a common proof,That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;But when he once attains the upmost round,He then unto the ladder turns his back,Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degreesBy which he did ascend.""Cowards die many times before their deaths;...
Rating: 3.5 Stars Julius Caesar is a surprisingly good novel, if not a little rushed and overly dramatic and kind of deteriorating to silly at the end. Still, I rather liked it and it proved to be a quick read, after all. Now, to start memorizing lines for class and then writing essays on the rhetor...
It is Roman custom to fall upon their own blade once defeat is inevitable. An honourable way to die? I'd rather fight until the end. But I can understand not wanting to die at the hands of your enemies.
