What to Focus On

  • Character is revealed through speech, action, silence, and contrast.
  • The tragedy grows from the nature of the characters.
  • The play has four leading figures: Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Antony.
  • Caesar is a great general and senator.
  • His greatness is acknowledged by others.
  • He appears only briefly and dies in the middle of the play.
  • Caesar participates in the Lupercalia scene.
  • He ignores the Soothsayer's warning twice.
  • He judges Cassius as dangerous.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Caesar is shown as a fully strong and fearless ruler with no weakness.

Brutus joins the conspiracy because he hates Caesar personally.

Cassius is also a patriot like Brutus, so both are equally motivated by Rome’s welfare.

Memory Tips

Caesar's public greatness and private weakness

Brutus as honourable but misguided

Cassius as practical, shrewd, and self-interested

Antony as loyal friend and future strategist
