Julius Caesar

Set in ancient Rome, the narrative follows Julius Caesar's triumphant return after battle, where he encounters a soothsayer's warning to beware the ides of March, which he dismisses. Tension builds as some of his closest allies, fearing his growing power, conspire against him. The story explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the consequences of political power, drawing inspiration from Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, which served as Shakespeare's main source for this dramatic tale.
