Brutus and his friend Cassius lose and kill themselves, leaving Antony to rule in Rome. Mark Antony drives the conspirators out of Rome and fights them in a battle. To stop Caesar from gaining too much power, Brutus and the conspirators kill him on the Ides of March.
The play is one of tumultuous rivalry, of prophetic warnings-'Beware the ides of March'-and of moving public oratory-'Friends, Romans, countrymen ' Ironies abound and most of all for Brutus, whose fate it is to learn that his idealistic motives for joining the conspiracy against a would-be dictator are not enough to sustain the movement once Caesar is dead.Jealous conspirators convince Caesar's friend Brutus to join their assassination plot against Caesar. In this striking tragedy of political conflict, Shakespeare turns to the ancient Roman world and to the famous assassination of Julius Caesar by his republican opponents.
