| Summary | "Julius Cæsar" by William Shakespeare is a historical play written in the early 17th century. The drama centers around the political events leading to the assassination of Julius Cæsar and explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the consequences of power. The principal characters include the titular Julius Cæsar, along with Brutus and Cassius, who grapple with the implications of their actions in relation to Cæsar's rise to power. The opening of the play establishes the political climate of Rome as citizens celebrate Cæsar's triumphs, while discontent brews among some senators. Flavius and Marullus, two tribunes, scold the commoners for their celebration and express their disdain for Cæsar's growing power. Meanwhile, Cæsar is warned by a soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March," but he dismisses this warning. The scene sets the tone for the tension between Cæsar's supporters and his adversaries, foreshadowing the conspiratorial plots that will unfold as discontent transforms into deadly resolve among the conspirators.
