Significant Events In The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar By William Shakespeare

“The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar” is one of the most famous works of William Shakespeare. It is a play that is based on Julius Caesar, an infamous leader of the Roman Republic, and the aftermath following his death. The play should be continued to be titled after Julius Caesar's’ name because Julius Caesar’s death is the climax of the story, Caesar’s achievements throughout his life, and Julius Caesar’s ghost haunted Brutus meaning he was still apart of the play.

Julius Caesar’s death was an important event that happened in the play. This event caused many other significant events to occur. One of them being, the civil war between Marc Antony and Octavius against the conspirators. In the play, the conspirators were noblemen who thought of Julius Caesar as a threat to their power. Their greed for power consumed them and made them kill an honorable man. This civil war eventually ended with Marc Antony and Octavius winning. The conspirators lost the battle against the people of the Roman Republic, showing that Julius Caesar was loved by the people and only hated by the conspirators.
Some may argue that the play should be named after Brutus, not Julius because Julius died halfway through the play.
Julius Caesar did physically die halfway through the play, but his spirit continued on throughout the play haunting Brutus. On page 81 of Act 4, Scene 2, Caesar's ghost appears in front of Brutus’ eyes. Caesar still had lines in the play even after he died. Before Caesar’s ghost exits, he left Brutus a haunting message say “I well see you at battle.” Caesar’s ghost appearance foreshadows major events happening later in the play. Even though Caesar died in the middle of the play, he remained present throughout the following
acts.

Julius Caesar was a very known person in the history of The Roman Republic by his achievements and his leadership. He came from a poor family and built himself from the very bottom to become the biggest leader in the Roman Republic. Caesar was a very powerful leader of the Roman Republic and a General that fought for Rome. Even the word “Caesar” means leader in many languages. If it wasn’t for the name of Julius Caesar, the play wouldn’t have been as known as it is today. His name is so known that it sells itself.

In conclusion, the Shakespearean play should remain by the title, The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar. His death also affected the characters in the play and the reason why the civil war started between the conspirators and Marc Antony and Octavius. Another major point, even though he was assassinated by twenty-three stab wounds, his spirit was still present all through the second half of the play. In addition to that, Julius is a very important person in the play, more known than Brutus.
