Julius Caesar Vs. Julius Caesar
Shakespeare did a great job in making the historical ruler Julius Caesar and the Shakespeare Julius sound like the same person. Julius Caesar full name is Gaius Julius Caesar and his parents are Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was one of the most memorable rulers of ancient Rome. He helped all the nobles get their own land and jobs by redistributing everything. I believe he helped the nobles because his family was always wealthy so he knew how the nobles felt. In 85 BCE, Caesar’s father pasted way. A couple years after his father died he had gotten married had children and been a part of a military legate, where he was awarded the civic crown.
Julius Caesar was an all-around guy. Julius Caesar isn’t just known for being an historical ruler. He was the first to publish a newspaper; he remade the calendar to 365 days which he added the extra day for the leap year every four years, he conquered Gaul, and his writings were amazing even Cicero spoke good things about his creativity. His most famous masterpiece was the funeral oration for his aunt Julia; sadly some of his work has been lost. Julius Caesar had a great impact on everyone’s life back then. People almost saw him as a God he was so high in power.
There are many reasons why Shakespeare could have written the story on Julius Caesar. I believe he wrote the story because he had an interesting life so he wanted to make it a play and it went right on time with what was going on around that time. There had been people saying there were men plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth So for this and other reasons, Shakespeare and his audience would have been interested in the way Caesar died and the motives of his killers. He had always wrote about someone’s climax of their life. It wasn’t unusual he wrote about Julius Caesar’s death because in most of his plays the man focus is on the main characters death.
I give Shakespeare his credit for

    Julius Caesar is “without a doubt the most significant figure in the history of Rome” for a vast majority of reasons (Knight). Julius’ full name and official title was “General Gaius Julius Caesar” and remained so throughout his entire life (“Julius”). When Julius Caesar was born is not agreed upon between most historians. But the closest approximation is around 100 B.C.E. Julius Caesar’s family was apart of the Roman aristocracy. He died around 44 B.C.E. He was murdered by a group of “60 influential Romans” and was stabbed “23 times” with a dagger when he entered a “senate chamber” (Knight).

    In all actuality Shakespeare portrayed Julius Ceasar very closely in his play to what it really was in real life with only a few slight differences and also in the play the stroy is shortened down quite a bit from what really happens after Ceasar is assassinated. For example in the play Caesar is portrayed as a noble hero that is struck down by his "allies" without much of a reason. In reality Caesar was power hungry, cruel, devious, ruthless, and extremely ambitious which may have been why he was one of histories greatest military generals. Although in both the play and real life the citizens loved Caesar because he was a strong and powerful leader. In all honesty, his assassins had very good reason to fear him being their emperor.…

    Written by Shakespeare more than one thousand five hundred years after Julius Caesar’s death, Julius Caesar, Shakespeare’s well-known tragedy, is unique in that it contains two tragic characters, the senator Brutus and emperor Caesar. A play in five acts, Julius Caesar attempts to portray the assassination of Caesar, at that time victorious over Pompey’s sons, and the civil war that follows, culminating in the establishment of the Second Triumvirate. Although Caesar meets his end comparatively early in the third act, both Brutus and Caesar are adequately portrayed as men of high repute who, through flawed actions and decisions, meet an untimely end. In short, both are tragic heroes.…

    Shakespeare was a talented writer who wrote about common themes of love, loss, betrayal, loyalty and others of that sort. When Shakespeare wrote the play Julius Caesar he was not really writing about Caesar at all but actually writing about the struggles, internally and externally, of Brutus as he decides to betray his friend for what he believes is for the good of his country. The play is also about the after effects of Brutus’ and the conspirators’ decision and how they attempt to survive with all of Rome calling for their blood. Brutus was a man who was patriotic enough to kill a friend for the good of his country, was a compassionate leader who truly cared for those under his command, and a noble man of birth and moral, even through all the hard times he went through those traits never wavered or changed.…
