Who are the main characters of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare?

It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.


What was Julius Caesar's favorite food?

We know the kind of things that the Romans of Caesar's day ate, but not what was Julius Caesar's particualr favourite. To jokingly talk about Big Macs, Macdonalds happy meals and Caesar Salads, none of which existed in Caesar's day, is only barely sillier than actually trying to guess the answer to this.


Julius Caesar is compared to a serpent's egg?

Yes, Marcus Brutus compares Julius Caesar to a serpent's egg which when hatches results in the existence of the poisonous serpent which if grows to its kind, becomes dangerous. Similarly, Julius Caesar, if bestowed with the crown, would become so powerful as to endanger the peaceful lives of the Romans.


Was Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's play a real threat to the roman republic?

I am not sure that Shakespeare takes sides on this one. His focus is on Brutus particularly, so it is Brutus's perception that Caesar was such a threat which matters. The historical question is vexed and centres around two questions: whether the republic was doomed no matter what Caesar did and whether the empire wasn't in fact a better system than the republic anyway. Brutus, as portrayed by Shakespeare, was such a wholehearted supporter of the republic that he would not countenance any suggestion that there was a better system or that it was destined to fail. That Caesar's actions historically robbed the republic of its authority cannot be doubted, and that would have been good enough for Brutus to consider him a threat. However, Shakespeare relies on the audience's general knowledge of Roman history to fill in those details. He does show Caesar as incredibly vain and arrogant, just the kind of person that would make a tyrannical dictator, but not whether he was in fact a tyrant.


What was the point of act 3 scene 3 in Julius Caesar?

Unless the term is used in a technical sense (whereby the "Climax" of a Shakespearean play is always whatever happens in Act 3), the climax of a story is generally the point where everyone's plans reach their fruition and either succeed or fail. In Hamlet, it is when Hamlet actually takes his revenge in Act 5. In Julius Caesar and Macbeth there is an early climax when the murderers complete their murders in Act 3 in Caesar and Act 2 in Macbeth. In Macbeth, his struggle to hold on to his kingdom leads to a further climax when he meets MacDuff in Act 5. In Caesar there is no similar further climax; the conspirators' hope of a joyous revival of the Republic is quickly dashed by Antony and the mob and their revolution fizzles out.

What is play 'Julius Caesar' by William Shakespeare about?

Julius Caesar by shakespeare is a drama more or less based on the life of roman ruler Julius Caesar...it's all about how he, a very capable ruler, is assassinated coz many other 'noble' Romans feel that he is a dictator, and that they shall be opressed under him. ultimately, Caesar is assassinated, but this proves to be disastrous for rome. it also highlights the fact that ppl should not be easily swayed by what others say, (the trusting kind) neither should they be too practical and contriving. the whole play is very interesting, esp. act 3, in which Caesar is killed and his friend Antony makes some truly awesome speeches. it is one of the best tragedies ever written.
