Valiant creation of William Shakespeare.
Julius Caesar. The famous play written by William Shakespeare. I knew the story of it earlier but I got to learn it as a drama chapter during my grade 10. So through that, I knew about Julius Caesar better. Oh how touching it is! I use to read that chapter in an enjoyment all the time because I liked it already. Rather than a mere chapter, Julius Caesar was something more for me.
Caesar was a very wise man. Even Brutus had said it. The most touching part of the play was the scene of Brutus stabbing his very friend Caesar and then Caesar said his last words, Et tu Brute! That means, You too, Brutus! I almost felt to cry at the moment when I read that for the first time in words from a book. Mostly because Brutus and Caesar were best friends. In this same blog, I've written about Shakespeare's another play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. No wonder William Shakespeare is such a great and fabulous writer. He's always my favorite in English literature.
Calpurnia, Caesar's wife had a premonition about Caesar's death in her dream. Afraid of such a happening, she told this to Caesar when he was being ready to go to the Senate. Still, Caesar was very courageous and fearless. He said that, cowards die many times before their death. From such a sentence by Caesar, we can identify his fearlessness. Caesar was valiant throughout. I loved the way Shakespeare conveyed the idea that Caesar is more dangerous than the danger itself.
This play became this popular because it portrays the value of trust between people as well as being brave, noble, wise and humble. Caesar's humbleness is well-known from the play, as in the climax, it's revealed that Caesar wrote in his will, many of the rewards for the Roman Citizens.
Here was a Caesar! When comes such another ?
Please read it.
It's worth reading even a 100 times.
