Julius Caesar is an extremely old and extremely famous play written by William Shakespeare around 1599.

After several talks with Janice, Cady started turning against Regina, just as Brutus did with Caesar. Regina was similar to Caesar because she was a person who was considered a tyrant by many, an example would be when they asked who had been offended by Regina and everyone raised their hand.
Starting with the characters, Regina George is Julius Caesar. We could argue this because Julius Caesar is the absolute ruler of Rome while Regina is like the popular queen of the school. They also encounter a movement against them, in JC a movie that tries to kill them and in MG a movement that causes Regina to stop being the popular queen of the school. They also have differences though, Regina was a really mean girl and in my opinion most people didn't really like her because she was mean, unlike Julius Caesar, he was a good ruler and people actually liked him, or at least they were
