Though he’s considered by most
to be a genius, Shakespeare
never attended a university.

his lifetime:

Blank Verse
Shakespeare wrote in blank verse, which is unrhymed &
alternates between stressed & unstressed syllables.
When read aloud, blank verse creates a catchy, natural
rhythm.
Shakespeare used blank
verse to distinguish the
speaking style of the noble
characters from the
commoners, who do not
speak blank verse.
Shakespeare’s play
Julius Caesar was
based on true
historical events.
Now we’ll learn a
little about the life
of Julius Caesar,
the most famous
Roman of all.
He was born to a noble family
Caesar was born into a patrician family, the
gens Julia or Julians, which claimed descent
from Ascanius, son of the legendary Trojan
prince Aeneas, supposedly the son of the
goddess Venus.
Patrician Families
The Birth of Venus
He was kidnapped by pirates & held
for ransom
When told they were asking
for 20 talents, Caesar
claimed he was worth at
least 50.
Caesar maintained a friendly
relationship with the pirates,
but he promised to have
them crucified once he was
released—which later he did.
He made powerful friends
Since Caesar was born into a
Patrician family, he could be
in the Senate.
As a young man, he made a deal
with 2 of the most powerful
members of the Senate:
- Pompey (a powerful
general)
- Crassus (a very rich man)
Working together, the three of
them controlled the Senate.
He arranged the First Triumvirate
Pompey: commander in chief of
the army
Crassus: wealthiest man in
Rome
Caesar: the mastermind behind
the coalition & the glue that
held it together once tensions
formed between Pompey and
Crassus
He was a great military general
•Caesar was popular with his
soldiers because he endured
the same rough conditions as
them. He is also said to have
known each of his men by
name.
•He defeated the Gauls (a Celtic
people inhabiting what are now
France & Belgium) & expanded
the Roman territory.
He defeated his Roman enemies
•Pompey grew jealous of
Caesar’s success & asked the
Senate to force Caesar to give
up his army
•Instead, Caesar defeated
Pompey’s forces in Egypt
(where he had an affair with
Cleopatra) & in Spain
•The play begins as Caesar
returns to Rome victorious
He ruled over Rome
After he defeated Pompey, Caesar went on to become
dictator perpetuus or “dictator for life” by 45 B.C.
He made many lasting reforms
•Revised the previously flawed Roman calendar
•Created many new jobs for citizens
•Lowered interest rates & canceled ¼ of all debt
•Gave property to thousands of families
•Rebuilt many famous Roman buildings & structures
He had an affair with Cleopatra
Cleopatra sought to form a political
alliance with Caesar. To protect
herself, Cleopatra rolled herself into
a rug which her servants presented
to Caesar.
When Caesar unrolled the rug &
Cleopatra tumbled out, he was
captivated by her beauty and charm.
Despite a more than 30 year age
difference , Caesar & Cleopatra
became lovers & bore a child,
Caesarion (or “Little Caesar”).
He was murdered by his own people
•Caesar’s assassins were his fellow Senate members and
close friends.
•They approached him at a Senate meeting & each
stabbed him at least once in order to “spread” the guilt.
•Caesar was stabbed 23 times before breathing his last.
Brutus
Sincere: Brutus truly believes
that his role in the assassination
is for the good of Rome
Honest: He refuses to take bribes
Naïve: He believes in the
essential goodness of those
around him
Philosophical: His philosophies
guide his actions and decisions
Cassius
Envious: Cassius has contempt for
Caesar and envies Caesar’s position
Corrupt: Prior to the battle at
Philippi, he is accused by Brutus of
taking Bribes
Manipulative: He tells people what
they want to hear to convince them
to meet his own selfish needs.
Military Strategist: His battle plan for
Philippi is well thought out and based
on sound military principles
Marc Antony
Loyal to Caesar: Antony loved &
admired Caesar
Clever: Antony pretends to befriend
the conspirators & asks permission
to speak at Caesar’s funeral.
A skilled orator: Antony’s speech at
Caesar’s funeral sways the crowd
Hard: Antony’s role in condemning
men to death shows he can be as
cold-hearted as he is passionate
Julius Caesar
Physically weak: Caesar has
several infirmities
Superstitious: Caesar believes
in portents and dreams
Indecisive: Caesar cannot
make up his mind whether or
not to go to the senate
Inflexible: Caesar thinks
himself perfect & decisive

conspiracy to kill Caesar.

times, and that Caesar refused it each
time. This adds to the fears the men

Julius Caesar
Shakespeare uses
Roman customs and
superstition to create
spooky conditions to
mirror the dangerous
plot being planned.
Julius Caesar
The Romans
believed that
omens could reveal
the future.
These omens could
take the form of
unusual weather,
flights of birds, or
other natural
phenomena.
Julius Caesar
Animals were seen as
indicators of the future.
The Romans often sacrificed
animals to the gods, and had
their entrails examined by an
official called a haruspex (In
ancient Rome, a priest who
attempted to foretell the
future, especially by
examining the entrails of an
animal). Any abnormalities
or imperfections indicated
the anger of a god or a
particularly bad event about
to happen.
Animal Sacrifices in Ancient Rome

Unusual astronomical
and meteorological
occurrences were also
seen as indicators of
future events.

doom, as was
lightning.

Threes in Shakespeare
• In Shakespeare's time, the number three was
considered unlucky and the people, being quite
superstitious, watched plays with witchcraft, murder,
and ghosts much the same as we watch horror
movies today. It might be interesting to enquire why
today the number three is considered lucky and "ten
plus three" unlucky.
• Journal Prompt (3-4 sentences): Do any numbers
today have any significance? Do you have any
superstitions about any numbers? Why or why not?
