About this ebook

This pocket sized book provides detailed notes on the Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar. I has a bright contrasting colour of yellow and read which is the thematic contrast of the characters within the novel. The yellow symbolic of the cowardly attitude in which the conspirators end their lives or just simply scamper away from Rome while the royal red is reflective of the bravery and the innocent Caesar's bloodshed. The book is an attractive pocket size text that can be taken anywhere with you while you travel. It is a students' companion, but better yet a teacher's reference! It carries a reader-friendly font size that makes it easy to read on a difficult day or an easy Sunday. The text is a must have! It is knowledge packed; power packed and will be loved by all. It is one after read will leave its readers begging for more.

    The Overview

    Caesar’s assassination is just the halfway point of Julius Caesar. The first part of the play leads to his death; the second portrays the consequences. As the action begins, Rome prepares for Caesar’s triumphal entrance. Brutus, Caesar’s friend and ally, fears that Caesar will become king, destroying the republic. Cassius and others convince Brutus to join a conspiracy to kill Caesar.

    On the day of the assassination, Caesar plans to stay home at the urging of his wife, Calpurnia. A conspirator, Decius Brutus, persuades him to go to the Senate with the other conspirators and his friend, Mark Antony. At the Senate, the conspirators stab Caesar to death. Antony uses a funeral oration to turn the citizens of Rome against them. Brutus and Cassius escape as Antony joins forces with Octavius Caesar.

    Encamped with their armies, Brutus and Cassius quarrel, then agree to march on Antony and Octavius. In the battle which follows, Cassius, misled by erroneous reports of loss, persuades a slave to kill him; Brutus’s army is defeated. Brutus commits suicide, praised by Antony as the noblest Roman of them all.
