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 the Roman dictator Julius Caesar and the civil war that follows. While named after Caesar, the work centers on Brutus, whose struggle between personal loyalty and public duty drives the narrative. Senators plot Caesar's death to prevent tyranny, but their actions unleash chaos through powerful rhetoric and mob violence. The
play explores political morality, the art of persuasion, and the fragility of republican governance when ambition and power collide. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
