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 centers on Brutus, a senator torn between personal loyalty and public duty as he joins the plot against his friend. After Caesar's murder, Mark Antony's masterful rhetoric turns public opinion against the conspirators, igniting
violent conflict. The play explores themes of political morality, persuasion, and the fragile nature of republican government. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
