The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (Annotated)

by William Shakespeare

Overview

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, considered to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.

Although the title is Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar is not the most visible character in its action; he appears in only five scenes. Marcus Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism and friendship.
