Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
"Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare is a historical tragedy written and first performed in 1599. The play dramatizes the conspiracy to assassinate Roman dictator Julius Caesar and the civil war that follows. Though named after Caesar, the work focuses on Brutus, a senator torn between personal loyalty and public duty who joins the plot to prevent tyranny. The assassination triggers a power struggle as Mark Antony manipulates public opinion against the conspirators,
leading to war and tragic consequences that explore themes of political morality, rhetoric, and the fragility of republican government. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
