One being real the other being a character from the play Julius Caesar you can only notice a few differences. Shakespeare’s accurate portray of Caesar and events surrounding his death are very well balance. First because Caesar is known as a great leader in the play as well as in the real life. Secondly his arrogance is carry through out the play as his real life. Last but not least his struggle between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism, and friendship are obviously going to be present in both.
The Julius Caesar from the play was alike in many ways like the Julius Caesar from real life. They were almost identical because they were great leader but die in the hands of the people they most trusted which is Brutus. This drama is one of the great tragedy themed plays by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar is a highly political leader in Rome and his aim is to become dictator. Caesar is warned that he must "beware the Ides of March" . The prophecy comes true and Caesar is assassinated due to the plotting of Marcus Brutus and Cassius which also happen in real life.
