Stay At Home Act 2 Scene 2
3,610 words
Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR is not equal as a
whole, to either of his other plays taken from the
Roman history. It is inferior in interest to

nor do they think it answers to the portrait given
of him in his Commentaries. He makes several
vaporing and rather pedantic speeches, and does
nothing. Indeed, he has nothing to do with it. So
far, the fault of the...
