This is approved in CCSD high schools. It is a classic - get cliff notes too and your child can't loose.
Now that we're at the start of a new decade, I'm beginning to return to the plays that I have read. And when these men take him down, the mayhem begins.What I love about this play is not because of its historical accuracy, which I doubt that it is actually accurate, but because of the character studies of the men that have conspired against Caesar. Shakespeare no longer interested me, as I was moving on to contemporary and fantasy fiction. Back in the 2000's, I had a temporary fascination with Shakespeare. In conclusion, I can fully acknowledge that "Julius Caesar" is one of my personal favorite Shakespeare plays. Marcus Brutus, Caius Cassius, and many others have conspired against Caesar, who has a chance at becoming the leader of Rome.
The play, however, doesn't make this the highlight of the story (even though the famous "Et tu, Brute." quote is here), but it's what happens before and after the actual death of Caesar that's relevant.
"Julius Caesar" was one of the more compelling Shakespeare plays that I have ever discovered.
Of the play itself, Shakespeare is without a doubt a master of words.
I read a total of eight plays, including "Titus Andronicus" & "Much Ado About Nothing." Then, all of a sudden, I stopped.
Brutus, especially, is in a constant personal battle between justice, friendship, and loyalty.
I had just finished reading it last night (it's the third time that I've read it), and I was still amazed by the richness of the text.
The plot is something that almost everybody knows: Julius Caesar is assassinated by the Senate.
Allegory and metaphor play important parts in the text, and thanks to the explanatory notes, I can understand Shakespeare a bit more.
It deserves its recognition has one of his finest ever written.
good stuff, haven't had time to read it yet but it came nice and neat just as expected.

Under scrutiny, you can see the subtle hints that Shakespeare makes about monarchy being better than a republic. It show the history and what Shakespeare thinks of the time. This is a excellent play and great to watch on movie or as a play, but it works well in book form and also makes the script easier to analyze. Julius Caesar is a classic book that everyone should read. Then Brutus and the conspirators question God's decision by killing Caesar. The play portrays one of the most influential revolutions.
There he was killed by the conspirators, of whom Brutus, Caesar's friends, was one.
Shakespeare, growing up in the monarchy of Great Britain.
On of the major themes in this play was the cycle of violence.
This play of Shakespeare tells an accurate story of the Roman Revolution of 40 BC.
This play is mostly accurate to the real history of this time and effectively shows what time was like at this time.
This play is about Brutus and the other conspirators trying to assassinate Caesar because he has amassed too much power and they are afraid he might try and become a king.
Julius Caesar, although given many warnings, went on the the house of the senate on the ides of March.
In the beginning, "God" allowed Caesar to become near ruler.
There is divine retribution signified by the war, and then peace is restored.
