Julius Caesar

Description:

“There is no Marlouian element in Julius Caesar, no hero-uillains for Hermetic ambition or Machiavellian intensity, no surpassingly eloquent and outrageous overreachers. Whether from North's Plutarch or from Seneca, or more likely from a strain in his own nature, Shakespeare brings forth a Stoic music with its own dying falls, but without a grudge or bias against our given condition.”

                                             Harold Bloom
