Title:Julius Caesar

Author: Shakespeare

Julius Caesar is a tragedy written by the well-known playwright Shakespeare. To cut a long story short, Julius Caesar, the ruler of Rome is assassinated by one of his best friends, Brutus and other Roman Generals. The intent of many of these conspirators was to save Rome from falling. In a series of events, Anthony-one of Caesar’s loyal friends turns the crowd against the conspirators, persuading the Plebeians that Caesar was not ambitious. Eventually, most of the conspirators kill themselves through misunderstanding. It is said that, “Ambition and pride caused Caesar’s downfall”.
Some people are so into Shakespeare and can understand what he is saying without any help but some can't. I am not really interested in Shahkespeare writing, I find it sometimes boring. However this book has helped me a little to understand Shakespeare.
Many of you might have read this book. If you are interesed in Shakespeare literature, then go ahead read the book, but for me it took a while to understand phrases.
Vol. Hours. 18 hrs.

Hi, Mina:

There is a series of books to help people with Shakespeare. There are online aids like Shakespeare.com.

Sparks and Blooms Notes also help.

The one I know many students look for is Shakespeare written in everyday language.

i think everyone has trouble with Shakespeare and if they say differently, they are not fooling anyone. There are so many study aids to help students learn Shakespeare.
