Lend Me Your Ears In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, a group of men kill their leader and are left to run Rome by themselves. "Julius Caesar is ancient Rome’s most famous figure. A brilliant politician and general, his accomplishments and influence were so significant that other languages have words meaning “ruler” that derive from his name."

a divine figure leads the entire play to exist under his shadow. Caesar’s influence and eternality throughout the play are undeniable, as even in death his permanence strengthens the triumvirate’s determination and precipitates the misfortunes of Brutus and Cassius.

Shakespeare is also adept at portraying Caesar to perceive himself at a…

Rome under the rule under the rule of Caesar would have been a better place for the common people because they would have more protection from Caesar and they didn’t really have a voice to begin with.
