About this ebook

In Rome, Julius Caesar’s growing power alarms the senators, particularly Cassius and Brutus. Cassius manipulates Brutus, convincing him that Caesar’s ambition threatens the Republic. Brutus, torn between his loyalty to Caesar and his duty to Rome, ultimately joins the conspiracy. The conspirators plan Caesar’s assassination during a Senate meeting. Meanwhile, Caesar ignores multiple warnings, including a soothsayer’s caution to “beware the Ides of March” and his wife Calpurnia’s ominous dreams. On the day of the Senate meeting, Caesar is lured to the Capitol, where he is stabbed to death by the conspirators, including the reluctant Brutus. Caesar’s famous last words, “Et tu, Brute?” capture his shock and betrayal. This moment marks the end of Caesar and the beginning of political chaos.
