This play was truly great, knowing that this book is the first Shakespeare play that I read brings me happiness. For me, it was a bit hard to read because I hadn‘t ever read a book in that format, but it really helps if you imagine it as a live play in your head. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and to all the world ‘This was a man.‘

Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.

Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs, and peep about to find ourselves dishonourable graves. Men at some times are masters of their fate: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

I asked my public library for this play, and they said that they had it in the library basement and that they would get it for me. I soon leant that this was a very old copy of the play, and boy, does it smell good! I‘m starting it right now, and I hope it‘s great! 🤞

charl08 That's lovely! 3y
mandarchy Was that the only copy they had? I had to change high schools and wound up having to read it twice. I hated it - so bitterly ruined Shakespeare for me. 3y
Sharv_Sona @mandarchy Yes, the others was already borrowed. I am sorry it ruined your experience. 3y

#AboutAugust #Ageless #Day4
Shakespeare‘s play,Julius Caesar,has been relevant throughout the ages,thus is #ageless.At school this year when we studied it, we linked it to Trump‘s impeachment which was going on.Reading this with my son right now. The play generates countless discussions concerning our current political system,Trump‘s misuse of executive orders, politics of Covid.
The sculpture is the only existing one from Caesar‘s lifetime.

Eggs Nicely done ✅ 4y

So this past weekend we did the public performances of this 80 minute version that is toured to schools. This photo was my end of the run image. Now to the good stuff, I am putting in my two weeks notice tomorrow! I have been trying to leave my job for years and this opportunity might be even better than I thought it would be. I will be able to keep doing my theatre work, which makes me so happy.

Mehso-so

I‘ve never been a huge fan of Ancient Roman history, which is probably why I didn‘t enjoy this play in high school. I have to say I‘m still not a huge fan, but this fills a challenge prompt I‘ve been struggling with. I also cannot recommend the error plagued Serial Reader version. The half I read out of my Signet Classic edition was more interesting with footnotes.

ReadingMeagan I was one of the only kids who liked this play in high school! My English teacher always found that to be funny (in a good way) 7y
DGRachel @ReadingMeagan I think I just keep reading this at bad times in my life and that definitely impacts how I feel about it. 10th Grade was not a good year, generally, and I‘ve been dealing with a sick dog this last week. What‘s really funny is that this is probably the play I quote the most. 😂 7y
ReadingMeagan @DGRachel That will do it. You totally have to be in the right state of mind for it. I‘m sorry to hear about your dog 💕 hopefully this week is a better one for you. 7y
Libby1 I hope your dog is feeling better. ❤️ I‘m glad that this at least fulfilled a challenge for you. I really enjoyed it, but came into it with a complete lack of knowledge about it, other than that it‘s about Caesar and that he dies! 7y
DGRachel @Libby1 Thanks! Seriously, I appreciate you suggesting this as I had a complete block as to what to read for the challenge prompt! I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 😊 7y

@Libby1 I‘m almost done, but I had to switch to my print version from college after I found this error in the Serial Reader day 4. I‘ve tried using that app several times, but I think I just have to accept that it does not work for me. Thanks for suggesting this for the #IdesofMarch. 😊 I have enjoyed getting back into Shakespeare.

Libby1 I‘m glad you‘re finished with it now. You can move on to something more comforting, light, or fun. Take care. 💕 7y

I always forget how many commonplace quotations originate In Shakespearean plays. Thanks @Libby1 for suggesting this play on the Ides of March!

TheKidUpstairs In my dream library I would have a poster of Bernard Levin's Quoting Shakespeare: https://inside.mines.edu/~jamcneil/levinquote.html 7y
rwmg There is the story of the Victorian old lady who was taken to the theatre for the first time by her nephew to see Hamlet, and when asked what she thought of it said, "It was very nice, dear, but full of quotations." 7y

🎭 Saw Oregon Shakespeare Festival‘s production of “Julius Caesar” this afternoon! A deeply political play that uses the power of rhetoric to full advantage in its monologues, it‘s one of the Bard‘s longer plays. The performance I saw was highly stylized in set & lights, fighting choreography, and costume (Uber Urban Outfitter meets Army/Navy surplus,) and some of the scenes were underplayed, but the heart was there if you knew where to look

Dragon I read this play back in high school and I still say “beware the Ides of March” and “Et tu, Brute” 😀🐉 the live play sounds great! 7y

Given the controversy about the current staging of Julius Caesar in Central Park, I think this article provides important context. Shakespeare is meant to be controversial --and timely. And Julius Caesar is at its core a warning about what happens when the "righteous" take the law into their own hands (hint: the Republic dies too): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/theater/julius-caesar-shakespeare-donald-trum...

TheBookbabeblog84 I just had a debate online about why using this play this way was okay. Some folks took serious issue with the theater being political. When it always has been. 7y

So happy to finish with Julius Caesar--it's probably one of my least favorite of the Shakespeare plays, and teaching rhetorical appeals is not my strong suit... #IsItSummerYet

CocoReads It's the only Shakespeare unit I failed. Wish the no fear editions had been around when I was in school. That may have helped. 8y
AndreaReads @CocoReads I decided since we really only read this play for the rhetoric, that's all we focus on. We read and analyze the 5 main speeches then call it good. It's tough. 8y
CocoReads It's not his best play for sure. That seems like the best that can be done with that one. 8y

readinginthedark I read this by choice the summer between ending high school and starting college, and one of my lit. professors said, "Why would you do that?" ? (edited) 8y
AndreaReads @readinginthedark ? That was me and Faulkner's Light In August. One of my professors asked me the same thing, and my response was, "I thought it was supposed to be one of those books everyone is supposed to read..." 8y
