Synopsis "Julius Caesar"
Julius Caesar is a tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare. This tragic drama was produced in 15991600 and published in the First Folio of 1623. The setting of this drama takes place after Caesar has returned to Rome. Alarmed by Caesars ambition, Cassius forms a ploy among Roman republicans and convinces BrutusCaesars trusted friendto join them. Brutus joins in the conspiracy against Caesars life, convincing himself that Caesars death is for the greater good of Rome. Meanwhile, Alarmed by prophetic dreams, Caesars wife, Calpurnia, warns her husband not to go to the Capitol the next day. A planned, Caesar is slain in the Senate on March 15, the ides of March. Mark Antony, his friend, gives a stirring funeral oration that inspires the crowd to turn against them. Eventually, Octavius, Caesars nephew, forms a triumvirate with Antony and Lepidus. Brutus and Cassius are eventually defeated at the Battle of Philippi, where they kill themselves to avoid further humiliation. Many describe Julius Caesar a history play also as it deals with a non-Christian civilization existing several centuries before Shakespeare wrote his plays.
William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 23 de abril de 1564jul. - Ibídem, 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), se le considera el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.
Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande de los escritores de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas tales como León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"».
