Synopsis

Okay, so I’m gonna do my best to sum up Julius Caesar, here; Well for starters, there’s this ruler of Rome, who is either one cocky son of gun, and thinks he’s tough stuff and is the greatest ruler of all Rome, but tries to hide it through some more cockiness in front of his people, or he really doesn’t want the crown that bad, but just happens to have one of those personalities, where you can’t tell what is going on inside of his head. So this ruler’s people are all like, “Bro! You gotta take the crown! It’s yours, man!” but then Caesar’s all like “No way, dude, can’t do it man!” so he tells them “no, no, no!” but they insist! So Caesar starts to freak out and doesn’t know what to with himself, because either all the ego is taking over him, or he really has epilepsy, and everyone waving a shining crown in his face made him have a seizure. Brutus, being an alleged good friend, decides, “Hey! This guy is conceited! Let’s rid him of his throne, and just totally kill the dude.” So he gets all his buddies together, and he’s like, “Guys, check this out! Caesar thinks he’s hot stuff, we gotta do something about this.” So they all talk about it for a while, and they come to a conclusion: he’s full of himself, so he obviously has to die. Now I hate cocky people as much as the next Roman, but jeez. That’s a bit extreme, isn’t it? So they all gang up on him during a meeting, and he’s like “Really guys? Awesome, thanks a lot, you guys are pals. <3” and dies. So I think Brutus starts to get this like, guilty feeling or something, ‘cause he starts to see Caesar’s ghost, and he’s like “DUUUDE, I’m trippin’!” So he goes to a few buds, and he’s like, “Guys, this sucks. We gotta do something,” and in the mean time, Mark Antony, Mr. Hot Shot Cool Pants is like, “REALLY? Cool! You just killed my best friend. >:| Jerks!” So he’s all huffy puffy about it and is like, “Let’s duke this out like MEN.” And gets his little posse together, and then everyone fights, and there’s blood everywhere, and it’s not a happy ending. But what can you expect from Shakespeare?
