The role ot female characters in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"

Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England's succession crisis, the seminar paper explores the themes and historical context of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The play, performed in 1599, reflects contemporary anxieties about power struggles and civil unrest, mirroring the political tensions of 44 BC Rome. As senators grapple with internal conflicts and the rise of the Tribunes representing the plebeians, Caesar's ambition to centralize power creates dramatic conflict. The paper delves into how these elements resonate with audiences of both eras.
