Why should you study Julius Caesar?

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is considered one of his greatest works.

It rather accurately depicts the contemporary Elizabethan anxiety over succession. As civil war erupted when Julius Caesar was murdered, the English were worried that the death of Queen Elizabeth - who was quite old and frail at the time, with no successors - would lead to civil war in England.

It is also famous for misrepresenting historical facts. Plutarch, a Roman historian, is a widely trusted source for Julius Caesar's death: but Shakespeare fudged the classic Et tu, Brute? and other details.

Also, Julius Caesar remains a Shakespearean work at heart, with clever use of language and rhetoric that you should become familiar with if you intend to study Shakespeare, or even English in general.
