Julius Caesar Audiobook

" Much of my Shakes reading this year was on a Kindle edition with no footnotes. Best I could do in darkest Europe. "

" Tragic, as is most of Shakespeare's works. I liked this a bit less than Othello. Beware of the Ides of March. "

" Got a lot more out of it this time, with related critical readings & commentaries. I can now see how the perspective of good v bad guys is very subject to change by social & political mileu. Also more appreciative of 'current' political changes' significance, and of the work Shakespeare did to make his Elizabethan world more Roman. "

" My favorite Shakespearean play <3 "

" I'm a bit shocked that this was a reading assignment for my freshman year of high school, but pleasantly so. "

" Probably my favorite Shakespeare. Next to Othello. "

" A very interesting play, with a lot of political involvment. "

" Honor, assassination, and fountains pouring blood. Who knew that JC was a cripple? Why didn't he just listen to his wife? This play is definitely going on my "good Shakespeare" list. Also: it was fun to perform. "

" very good book i love antony but brutus isnt the noblest of them all hes a little kid who isnt man enough to edmit the real reason he would ever hurt someone like that...its because hes like everyone else actually worse because he cant admit what he has done werent for a good reason. "

" This book is difficult to understand because the language is old english...and obviously we dont speak that anymore. My high school teacher thinks we're all smart enough to understand this because we are in an honors class...but in reality no one in the class has no clue of what this book is about. "

" Love anything and everything Shakespeare. This was no exception. Amazing. "

" Brilliant Piece work by a genius writer of all time. "

" It was ok. I loved Antony's speech but the play was pretty hard to follow "

" Beward, the ides of March! "

" Definitely not my favorite Shakespeare. I thought the language, while still a billion times better than what I can do, doesnt live up to his other works. This was my first time through, though, and I always like Shakespeare better each time I read a specific play. "

" The difference between Antony's pointed description of Brutus as "an honorable man: in his famed speech and his sincere eulogy of him as "the noblest Roman of them all" is at the center of this play. Can a really bad decision be mitigated by good intentions? "

" I love Shakespeare, and there are many quotable moments in this tragedy. But my god, it's depressing. Some of his others have more glimmers of hope, more possibility of redemption. I must be getting old because I need that hope. "

" This is a great play about a great story. It just reminds us that politicizing a funeral is nothing new. "

" another high school required read. I'm sure I would get more out of it now... "

" Good but not the best. I like the death scene for caesar, however, the rest of the play wasn't as exciting. "

" This is one of those plays that every person should read at some point in their life. Literature of Shakespeare AND history? It's a double whammy. Et tu, Brute? "

" Moral of this play: Cicero doesn't listen to others. "

" Martial verse for men at arms, mesmerizing and wondrous. "

" The immortal bard captured it perfectly with "et tu Brute?" "

" let slip the dogs of war....and cry havoc...what else is needed as a recommendation? Genius. Waiting for the hollywood touch block buster soon. Please! "

" ...meh...I'm so not a Shakespeare person... "

" I had to re-read this for a project I'm doing at work, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the play (I remember it being one of my least favorite works of Shakespeare in high school). It may in part be due to a greater interest in politics as I've gotten older! "

" Useful student/popular edition of a great play. "

" The immortal bard captured it perfectly with "et tu Brute?" "

" Had to struggle through this in high-school. "

" One of the most powerful of his plays. Yes, the characters are set in black and white in true Shakespearean style and there is no room for hman error, but therein lies the beauty and power of this drama. "

" I read this one to discuss with one of my children. It cured insomnia for a couple of nights. I needed an annotated version -- I think that would have helped me. My opinion may improve as I continue having conversations with my son. "

" Fabulous play, approachable from the very first scene; timely, relevant, thought-provoking. "

" Am I the only one who didn't like Brutus? "

" Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare the genre of this is a play that includes history,drama,and tragedy. "

" One of Shakespeare's better tragedies, a wonderful tale of betrayal and realpolitik. "

" All in all I liked this book. The only part of it that I didn't like was the way that Skakespeare talked. At times, I was lost. This made it more difficult for me to like it so this is why I gave it three stars. "
