QR code
"La mort de César" by Voltaire is a tragedy written in 1731 and first performed privately in 1733. The play follows Brutus, a devoted republican who conspires to assassinate Julius Caesar to save Rome from dictatorship. When Caesar reveals he is Brutus's father, the conspirator faces an impossible choice: allow tyranny or commit parricide. Set in three acts without female characters, the tragedy focuses solely on patriotic duty and explores the devastating
conflict between personal loyalty and political principle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
