76. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (1599) by William Shakespeare

When the Ides of March come upon them, Brutus and Cassius decide that they must take the fate of their beloved Rome into their hands. With the assassination of Julius Caesar, Rome is thrown into chaos. With seemingly no plan after they finish the killing, two sides develop between Brutus and Cassius / Marc Antony and Octavius. William Shakespeare walks us through a story of loyalty, betrayal, pride, and blindness. We're asking the tough questions: Is Brutus sympathetic? Is Marc Antony a good guy? Can you separate politics from your friends? Jason Crockett joins us as we answer these and more.
