Author: Shakespeare
Tragic play based on history of Caesar’s rule.
“The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones…”
How do you choose between the life of your friend and the future of your homeland? In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus, “the noblest Roman of them all,” has only his personal integrity to help him choose which is the greatest good and where he must place his allegiance. The wrong choice will result in certain personal and national devastation. With its stirring speeches and vivid images of men at both their noblest and most terrible, the play will leave the reader with a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
