Connection: From ancient Roman history to Elizabethan England
Attitude of Brits: better to accept power than to have civil warIn play, those who would fight against Caesar (even for noble cause) would cause suffering for the people

Julius Caesar is about power, ambition, and betrayal. The characters are constantly trying to
persuade themselves, each other, and the audience of the rightness of their cause. As a result, the play is full
of speeches that make masterful use of rhetorical devices, such as repetition, parallelism, and rhetorical
questions. Watch for them!
