    Throughout Julius Caesar, Shakespeare uses the actions of Caesar to illustrate the dangers of one person holding too much power. Though Caesar may have originally had good intentions, the potential to gain more power drove him to become corrupt and misguided. It was not until the moments before his death that Caesar realized what his thirst for power had turned him into, and by then it was too late.
