What is the climax of Julius Caesar?

Answer 1

Although many would claim that the clamatic scene is when the titale character gets knifed, my personal opinion is that it comes much later. Julius Caesar is actually much more about Brutus; some critics have even suggested that Brutus was an early version of Hamlet.

In any case, the play deals largely with Brutus's downfall. His part in the regicide is inspired by a desire to help his people avoid tyranny, and yet after Caesar's death, he is driven out of Rome and the very people he sought to help want his blood. In addition, he must cope with the guilt he feels at killing his friend. He must also try to stick with Cassius, despite the fact that he now sees the manipulation Cassius has used upon him, because alone the two armies will definitely fall.

So in my opinion, the climax comes with Brutus 'honorable' death at the end of the play, when he takes the only course he can see remaining out of his predicament.
