Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar, a successful military leader wants the crown of Rome. Unfortunately, he is an imperious and overly ambitious. To get the crown, he manipulates the people of Rome into offering him the crown. But, Casca witness to the Caesar’s attempts. Then, he repots it to Brutus and Cassius. Later, Cicero, Cassius, Casca and Cinna organize a conspiracy to kill Caesar. They get some help from others (Decius, Brutus, Trebonius, and Metallus) to help them to kill Caesar. Cassius also try to convince Brutus to join too. Metallus talk to Caius Ligarius to convince him to join their cause. Finally, the conspirators succeed to murder him at the senate. After the Murder, Mark Antony incites the crowd to riot over Caesar’s murder. Then, Antony, Octavius and Lepidus form a triumvirate to rule Rome. Messala tells Brutus that the trium virate has killed 100 senators. Brutus, Messala, Titinius, Cassius decide to confront Antony’s army at Phillipi.

The ghost of Caesar appears at the Brutus’ tent and tells him that he will see him at Phillipi. The battle happens. Titinius is captured by octavius. Cassius commits suicide after convincing Pindarus to help him to commit suicide. Titanius kills himself with Cassius’ sword. In the second battle Antony’s army succeed to defeat Brutus’ army. Brutus finally convinces Strato to help him to commit suicide. Thus, Antony and Octavius prevail, while Cassius and Brutus both commit suicide, assumedly partly in grief over murdering Caesar.

This plays first written between the years 1600-01, first performed in 1623. The story is about tragedy of Julius Caesar. There is a conspiracy to murder Julius Caesar. They do it to prevent Julius Caesar to get the crown of Rome. They assume that Caesar is not the right man to rule Rome. He is too ambitious and will grow as the tyrants. But I think it is because of the power to rule Rome. Everyone wants to get it. Yeah I know that perhaps if Julius Caesar succeeds to reach the crown, he will be tyrants. But people do not understand it. After the tragedy the power of Rome was divided into 2; they are triumvirate of Octavius, Antony and Lepidus and in the other side, the conspirators. Later, the man who gets benefit from the tragedy is Mark Antony. In every riot there must be a man behind the gun who incites people to rebel.
