The Bard of Avon spins the tragic tale of jealousy, fear and betrayal in Julius Caesar, the dramatized adaptation of the assassination of the Roman Emperor. Summary of the Book Julius Caesar trusted Brutus more than anyone. He knew that no matter who should betray him, he could believe in Marcus Brutus. Little did he know that his faith would soon be misplaced. Swayed by the words of the eloquent Caius Cassius, Marcus Brutus joins the Senate in a mad plan to kill Julius Caesar. Despite hearing rumours from a soothsayer, Caesar refuses to take care of himself, thus leading to the brutal assassination that rocked the Roman Empire.
