Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Study Guide

Julius Caesar stands at the changing of the tide in Shakespeare’s career. There is a scale to the play, written in 1599, unmatched by anything he had written before it. Our sense of this extraordinary play has evolved over the centuries and most critics now believe Shakespeare was deeply critical of ancient Rome, seeing much of what its characters celebrate as principle as the cause of all that goes wrong. But though critical views have changed, Julius Caesar remains a powerful study of the morality of assassination, and of the ways in which people build a sense of who they are.
