Julius Caesar Translation Table of Contents

“Beware the Ides of March!” the Soothsayer warns Caesar in one of Shakespeare’s most famous lines. In Julius Caesar, a historical tragedy, Shakespeare recounts the fall of one of Ancient Rome’s most famous generals, who was instrumental in creating the Roman Empire. Brutus and Cassius hatch a deadly plot against Caesar, and not even Caesar’s champion, Mark Antony, can save him. Julius Caesar features political rivalry and intrigue, and culminates with Antony and Octavius’ final triumph over the rebellious plotters. The Shakescleare modern English translation of Julius Caesar will help you understand the play’s most notable lines, like “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves” and Antony’s famous speech “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”
