Cassius: Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?Brutus: No, Cassius, for the eye sees not itself but by reflection, by some other things.Julius Caesar serves as a story of influence and corruption, amongst other things. Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony are the dominant personalities, while Caesar appears but a few times, though he is "constant as the Northern Star." The argument permeating throughout is whether Caesar's assassination was a noble act of heroism to save Rome from beastlyThe juxtaposition that Shakespeare brings forward in this historical play, which resembles a tragedy in textual tonality and structure, is the double-edged facets, the private and the public, that coexist in Julius Caesar, the quintessential dictator. The rulers weaknesses show unobstructed in his private life. Irascible, proud and vulnerable to superstition, the Caesar ignores the voice of fate represented by the Soothsayer that tries to warn him against the surges of unrest that pervade in the
Awake your senses, that you may the better judge.If all you know about Julius Caesar is reading it in high school, you need to revisit it. It is a much deeper and richer text then I assume most high school readings of it allow.I gave "Julius Caesar" a 4 star rating compared to other Shakespeare, not to literature as a whole. The Bard is in a class of his own.The introduction to this play by Douglas Trevor is spectacular. Insightful, interesting and easy to follow. It is one of the best intros I
I could not say anything more beautiful in praise of Shakespeare as a human being than this: he believed in Brutus and did not cast one speck of suspicion upon this type of virtue.Friedrich NietzscheOne of Shakespeares best, this play is also, I think, one of his most morally ambiguous.

The play opens with Cassius persuading Brutus to act against
Julius Caesar, abridged: BRUTUS: I love Caesar! CASSIUS: He's a power-hungry bastard. I think we should kill him.BRUTUS: Dude, we totally should.DECIUS: Happy Ides of March, Caesar. Ready to go to the Senate?CAESAR: I dunno. My wife just had a dream about you and the rest of the senators washing their hands in my blood, so I think I'm going to call in sick today. DECIUS: Okay, I'll just tell the guys that you're a pussy who lets his wife tell him what to do. They'll understand. CAESAR: I'll get
What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind. William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 1Julius Caesar was one of my first Shakespeare loves. I remember in Jr High memorizing (and I still can remember most of it) Mark Anthony's eulogy to Caesar ("Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears..." It was powerful and was an early indicator for me of language's potential energy. Within those lines there were several messages, foreshadowing, etc. It turned me onto both Shakespeare
Et tu, Brute?These lines have haunted audiences and readers for centuries, since The Bard first presented the play, believed to be in 1599, when Shakespeare would have been 35. Bringing to life scenes from Roman history, this tragedy, more than presenting a biography of the leader, instead forms a study in loyalty, honor, patriotism and friendship.Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him; The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft
