Friends, Romans, country, lend me your ear. I come to bury Ceasar not to praise him. The evil men do lives after them. So let it be with Ceasar. The noble Brutus has told you Ceasar was ambitious. If it were true, twas a grievous fault and grievously has Ceasar answered it.
or something like that.
I had to memorize that entire passage for an English class. My high school Shakespeare class was much better. We all had copies of Shaespeare's Bawdy so we could understand the naughty bits. And our instructor made us memorize hundreds of lines because he said they made great fodder for cocktail parties.

This was more like a 2.75. Shakespeare I'd brilliant writing, but it was really hard for me to follow(it's Shakespeare what do you expect). And it took us so long to get through it I got tired if it. Maybe one day I'll be a Shakespeare girl.

This is one of Shakespeare's tragedies; probably more quoted than read or performed. It tells the story of the conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar and its aftermath. I think Elizabethans, in general knew more about ancient Roman history than most modern Americans (certainly me). So I enjoyed getting to learn something about this episode in ancient Rome. The text is 16th century Elizabethan, so it greatly helps to have the Folger edition and a dictionary to get the most from the text. I always read the Shakespeare play before seeing it performed. So it is with this one. I'm looking for tonight's performance by the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company armed with full understanding and background of the play. Recommended.

This was surprisingly amazing in that I did not struggle at all to read it which is not usually the case with Shakespeare. I see why this one is studied in schools and I'm glad to have it on my shelf.
