In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," ambition is prominently displayed through the characters of Caesar and Brutus. Caesar's ambition is evident in his disregard for warnings about his rising power, as he seeks to become the unchallenged ruler of Rome. Conversely, Brutus's ambition is shown in his desire to protect the Republic, leading him to join the conspiracy against Caesar, believing that removing him is necessary for the greater good. This tension between personal ambition and public duty ultimately drives the play's tragic events.

The most important character in Julius Caesar is not Julius Caesar, but it is Marcus Brutus. The reason why Shakespeare put Julius Cesar as the title is simply because it was more appropriate.
