Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was the first play performed at the Globe Theatre. For that reason alone, this play deserves special attention. But the characters, the language, and this interesting situation represent Shakespeare's finestefforts. Cassius is ruthless with a malicious attitude. But he honestlyfears what Caesar will do if he is crowned. Brutus is a good and honestman. He contemplates joining Cassius to kill Caesar despite the fact thatCaesar loves him as a friend. (In history as well, Caesar was notably kindto Brutus.) But yet he too fears that if Caesar is crowned, Rome willbleed. Mark Antony is convincing as Caesar'sloyal aid who SEEMSinsignificant at first. But after Caesar is killed, he emerges as the mostpowerful and intelligent character in the play. What makes this play sophenomenal is that we can easily understand and sympathize with any ofthese major characters. (Even though they are on opposite sides.) What'sleft? Only chilling omens like the Soothsayer, the storm, the ghost ofCaesar, etc.Only memorable passages like Mark Antony's famous 'honorable'speech. If you like this play, I suggest the B & W version where JamesMason does Brutus, John Gielgud does Cassius, and Marlon Brando does MarkAntony.
