Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
5.0
So I really don't think I can be very critical about Shakespeare (haven't reached that level yet) so I'm not even gonna try.
I will say that I really liked the play, something I was surprised by. I thought reading it would be very homework-like. It wasn't. The haracters were all quite interesting. I hated two of them: Brutus and Cassius. Except I'm not a 100% sure I hate Cassius.
He was such a manipulative bastard and so good at it, that I gotta admire him for it. The dude has skill.
Brute I definitely hated. I had a hard time deciding whether he really thought Caesar was a threat or if he was simply looking for an excuse to kill him so he could be the ruler. The latter seemed more plausible.
Mark Antony is seriously goals, though. That speech/eulogy was the best thing ever. He should get an award for that.
Overall, really good play, even if it was very difficult in the beginning.
