What to Focus On

  • Caesar's assassination occurs in the middle of the play (Act III)
  • The play explores both the causes and consequences of political murder

  • Based on real events from 44-42 BC in Roman history

  • The assassination involved about 60 senators

  • Conflict between monarchical power and republican ideals
  • The tragic consequences of making decisions based on assumptions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Brutus is the tragic hero because the play is about him, not Julius Caesar

The supernatural elements are just coincidences and have no real significance

Cassius is purely evil and villainous with no redeeming qualities
