( Shakespearean Tragedy)
Julius Caesar believed to have been written in 1599. It portrayed the conspiracy against the Roman dictator of the same name his assassination and its aftermath. It is one of several Roman plays that William Shakespeare wrote, based on true events from Roman History. Though the title is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the central character in its action. In the story Julius was killed. The protagonist of the story is Marcus Brutus and the central psychological drama is his struggle between the conflicitng demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship. The story reflected the general anxiety of England over succession of leadership.
Things to ponder
Sad to say that the problem of leadership has been a problem of people even before the birth of Christ. And this problem is handed down from one generation to the next. The Philippines is not an excused of this. Political problems have been confronting the Filipino people since then. Perhaps this can be resolved if all of us Filipinos will be united as one nation. Assassination and political executions are nowadays very common in the Philippines.
