| Summary | "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare is a historical play written in the early 17th century. The work explores themes of power, betrayal, and the moral complexities of political assassination through the tragic figure of Julius Caesar and the conspirators who plot his demise, notably Brutus and Cassius. The play delves into the motivations driving the characters and the consequences of their actions on Rome. The opening of the play introduces a politically charged atmosphere in Rome, where commoners celebrate Caesar's triumph. Flavius and Marullus, two tribunes, chastise the citizens for their fickle loyalty, recalling their previous support for Pompey. Amidst these tensions, Caesar arrives, displaying confidence despite omens of danger, notably a soothsayer's warning to beware the Ides of March. The initial interactions establish a stark contrast between public adoration and underlying fears, setting the stage for the exploration of ambition and conspiracy as tensions rise around Caesar's growing power.
