Tragedy Of Julius Caesar Research Paper

364 Words2 Pages
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar should be retitled The Tragedy of Marcus Brutus because Caesar dies in the third act and the story ends when Brutus dies, and we hear the most about Brutus’ thoughts and emotions. In the play, Caesar dies early on. The play pretty much stops being about him from then on. Also, after Brutus dies, the play ends. He seems to be the main character because if the story ends when an ending is reached with a character, that character is typically the main character. “According to his virtue let us use him, With all respect and rites of burial. Within my tent his bones tonight shall lie, Most like a soldier, order’d honourably. So call the field to rest, and let’s away, To part the glories of this happy day.”(JC.5.5.76-81)
