What Is Shakespeare's Use Of Internal Conflict In Julius Caesar

William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, worked within the restrictions of known history and offered insight into the minds of the characters and their dramatic motivation. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar builds on events leading up to the assassination of the great Roman general, Julius Caesar, and the multifarious conflicts that arise between his conspirators after his death. Brutus, the play’s tragic hero, while a dear friend of Caesar’s, opposes the ascension of any single man to the position of dictator and fears that Caesar aspires to such power. Shakespeare develops plot using the internal and external conflicts of Brutus to illustrate that responsibility can collide with passion.
