THIS IS A VERY USELESS REVIEW.

“Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
You could have dodged death Caesar, you were warned. like a lot.

Julius Caesar talks about a political conspiracy against Roman leader Julius Caesar, and some the events surrounding and following his assassination.
I have been trying to read Shakespeare since 9th grade and I've always found myself struggling with his writing and understanding his work (still do apparently). From what I could gather this play focuses on the question of whether rulers who take the crown are fit for it (especially in the eyes of the ruler's subjects). Julius Caesar is a play about power, It argues that power concentrated in capable hands is not an affront to the common good, it's only guarantor.
It was alright.
