Difference between Plutarchs and Shakespeares Julius Caesar
Plutarch's and Shakespeare's Caesar
Julius Caesar was in a precarious situation. It could be interpreted that he
deserved the fate that pursued him for ambition or some other reason, or that it
was a cold murder for which he did not deserve. Both Shakespeare and Plutarch
wrote about Julius Caesar. Each tells the story a little differently. Plutarchs version
is more sympathetic to Caear's situation.
Shakespeare shows him to be an insensitive and conceited person …showed first 75 words of 375 total…

…showed last 75 words of 375 total…after Caesar's death the Romans were enraged to revenge him at
the sight of his body and out of their love for him, in Plutarch's writing. In
Shakespeare's the Roman were enraged but quelled by Brutus' speech and
enraged again by Antony's. This showing the Roman to be mindless, moved only
by a good speech and not by their feelings for Caesar. This again showing
Plutarch's writing to be more sympathetic to Caesar than Shakespear's.
