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 does tributaries mean in Shakespeare?

The word is used twice by Shakespeare in both his Roman history plays, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra. The meaning in both uses is the same: defeated enemies who pay tribute. The use in Caesar is particularly self-explanatory: "Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?" The lucrative possibilities of capturing people in wars is also referred to by Antony: "He hath brought many captives home to Rome, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill."
