{"product_id":"2940013989580","title":"Julius Caesar","description":"Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It portrays the conspiracy against the Roman dictator of the same name, his assassination and its aftermath. It is one of several Roman plays that he wrote, based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the title of the play is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the central character in its action; he appears in only three scenes, and is killed at the beginning of the third act. The protagonist of the play is Marcus Brutus, and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGo, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault,\u003cbr\u003eAssemble all the poor men of your sort,\u003cbr\u003eDraw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears\u003cbr\u003eInto the channel, till the lowest stream\u003cbr\u003eDo kiss the most exalted shores of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Exeunt CITIZENS.]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee whether their basest metal be not moved;\u003cbr\u003eThey vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.\u003cbr\u003eGo you down that way towards the Capitol;\u003cbr\u003eThis way will I.
