The play centers around the themes of power, ambition, betrayal, and the moral implications of political action, focusing on the life and assassination of Roman leader Julius Caesar and its aftermath. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the political climate of Rome, where commoners celebrate Caesar's triumph, despite the attempts of tribunes Flavius and Marullus to quell the festivities and chastise them for their fickleness towards Caesar. As the scene unfolds, we see Caesar entering accompanied by his supporters and hear the warnings of a soothsayer, who cautions him to "beware the Ides of March." The opening establishes the divisions in Roman society and the rising tensions as some, like Cassius, express their disdain for Caesar's growing power, foreshadowing the conspiracies that will unfold. The initial interactions set the stage for the moral dilemmas that the characters will face as political machinations begin to take shape.
