The play Julius Caesar is set in February 44 BC. It begins with Caesar's entry into Rome after the victory over the sons of his rival Pompey. It is a tale of betrayal, ambition, friendship, greed, courage, and strategy.
It is one of Shakespeare's finest works and describes how Brutus, a confidant of Caesar, joins hands with other conspirators to murder him. As the play progresses, one sees that Rome's beloved king is indeed murdered and that Mark Antony, his closest friend, decides to expose Brutus. Brutus, at Caesar's funeral, has given a speech validating Caesar's murder by accusing him of being ambitious and unfit to be the emperor. However, Mark Antony's speech at the funeral not only exposes the conspirators but also brings back into the hearts of the Romans, the love for their emperor.
Important points for this play are:
1. The plot to kill Caesar
2. Calpurnia's dream
3. The scene of the murder
4. Brutus's speech
5. Mark Antony's speech
6. The theme of friendship and loyalty
Please note that the above summary will be useful only if the play has been read well. There is no subtitute to reading.
