Explain some of the key ideas in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Some of the key ideas that William Shakespeare conveyed to us through his play “Julius Caesar” are leadership‚ loyalty and the power of oratory.

Gorgias: Oratory’s Cauterizing Effect on Knowledge In Gorgias‚ Plato exposes oration as a horribly shameful skill that corrupts the retention of knowledge‚ and encourages the false belief in unexamined appearances.
