The play Julius Caesar is ultimately about lost morality in the political world. Shakespeare uses his characters to portray politicians that are cunning and brutal, much like the politicians of today. For instance, in our political world today the presidential candidates hope to see their competitors fail. this practice can be observed in the play after the death of Caesar when Antony and Brutus give their speeches. Brutus speaks his reason for assassinating Caesar, and then Antony used politie wording to turn the crowd away from the conspirators side. That speech format is still used today, which includes a speech given by Ted Cruz about Donald Trump. Cruz stayed civil while trying to sway the crowd in his direction, much like Marc Antony
