Julius Cæsar by William Shakespeare
"Julius Cæsar" 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. While bearing Caesar's name, the work centers on Brutus, whose struggle between personal loyalty and public duty drives the narrative. Through political intrigue, powerful rhetoric, and moral conflict, Shakespeare explores how ambition and power threaten republican governance. The assassination and
its aftermath reveal the dangerous interplay between persuasion, honor, and violence in political life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
