By William Shakespeare Julius Caesar By William Shakespeare

Background ancient Rome 44 B.C. Based on real historical events Shakespeare’s shortest play Shakespeare compresses the actual historical time of three years into a period of 6 days.

Life in Rome There were two classes of people in Rome, either rich or poor The rich were called Patricians and the poor were called Plebeians The plebeians were known to be very fickle and would rally around any leader or form of government that seemed good at the time.

Politics For centuries, Romans debated and fought wars trying to decide which form of government was best: a monarchy (kingdom), republic (people rule), or dictatorship (one man makes rules). At the time of the play, Rome is technically a Republic in which an elected Senate rule Rome.

Who was Caesar? A patrician (wealthy Roman) who supported the people of Rome. spent money for public entertainment and establishing laws lifting heavy tax burdens Formed a triumvirate (three-man rule) with Crassus and Pompey in 60BC to govern Rome.

Who was Caesar? (continued) Expanded the Roman Empire through military conquests, including Gaul (Southern France and Northern Italy). Fought and defeated Pompey and his sons after Pompey, jealous of Caesar’s popularity, persuaded the Senate to order Caesar to disband his army and return to Rome. Made dictator for life, which is where the play begins.

Political Tension Question: What political tension can you infer from the information just provided? Answer: Caesar was a powerful military General; therefore, many members of the Senate are afraid that the people will make the well- respected Caesar their absolute ruler, which would overturn the Republic of Rome and turn it into a Dictatorship. Because of this fear and the “good of Rome”, Caesar’s friends (members of the Senate) decide to take matters into their own hands.

Major Ideas 1. The power of Rhetoric and Persuasion 2. The role of Fate, Superstition, and the Supernatural in our lives 3. Personal Principles VS. Public Welfare - which is more important?

Tips for reading Shakespeare Don’t get awkward phrases or sentence structure stop you – just reword them so they make sense! EX: “Since Cassius first did whet me against Caesar, I have not slept…” Paraphrased: I have not slept since the moment Cassius turned me against Caesar.

Tips for Reading Shakespeare Read to the end of a sentence, not the end of a line, and paraphrase lines as you read. EX: “What need we any spur but our own cause To prick us to redress. What other bond than secret Romans that have spoke the word And will not palter? “ We don’t need any other reason that the one we have. We don’t need any other bond except the fact that we are all Romans and will honor our word.
