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. Though named after Caesar, the work focuses on Brutus, who faces wrenching conflicts between personal loyalty and public duty as he joins the plot. After Caesar's murder, Mark Antony's powerful rhetoric turns public opinion against the conspirators, leading to
battle and their ultimate defeat. The play explores themes of political ambition, persuasion, and the fragility of republican government. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
