![]() It ends up being shallow since the biggest part of the fragment read is the death of Caesar which isn’t a surprise anyway, which makes the actual scene pretty boring. While the insight provided from the other perspectives adds a bit of moral complexity to the situation, the actual bit read only proceeds up to the part where Caesar dies and where Brutus and Antony give their speeches for the sole purpose of introducing the concepts of ethos, pathos, and logos, only to immediately discard them and never use them outside of Greek playwrights again. The differing perspectives almost create a justification for the actions of the conspirators, who wished to depose Caesar, and the dictator himself, who wished to help his people. Julius Caesar – The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a play written by Shakespeare (again) with a romanticized interpretation of the events following up to and succeeding the assassination of Julius Caesar from many perspectives, including Brutus and the conspirators, Caesar’s successor Mark Antony, and Julius Caesar himself. The rest of it is an incredibly slow build-up to little action, and since Romeo & Juliet is such a well-known tragedy, it ends up building up to what everyone expected anyway. From the perspective of someone who wants to read an interesting story, Romeo & Juliet is uninteresting for the overwhelming majority of the play, bar maybe one or two scenes focusing more on the direct conflict between Romeo and Tybalt and the ending of the tragedy as well. From the perspective of a masochist who wants to analyze symbols and themes, Romeo & Juliet is remarkably bland and banal, which might be a result of it being so ingrained in this culture. But since we are discussing the play and not a film with characters brandishing guns speaking in old-modern English, it becomes a lot more of a chore to read, even more so if you have to act it out with the class. Being a Shakespearan play, the structure and language are interesting, to say the least, and while this made it a chore to read, it certainly made Romeo + Juliet (1996) the silliest movie known to man. Romeo & Juliet -It shouldn’t be necessary to have to explain the concept of Romeo & Juliet, but just in case: it follows the romance and tragedy between a 14-year-old Juliet and a Romeo of dubious age. What better way to feel validated than by agreeing with me, and what better way to start an unnecessarily heated argument than by disagreeing with me? That’s why I’ve created this fantastic (and objectively correct) tier list, where I will organize all of the important titles analyzed in English classes from freshman year to senior year, including autobiographies, epics, novels, tragedies, and more, and put them into categories based on how enjoyable they were to read as well as how enjoyable it was to analyze. Though I might not be the most social person compared to some, I’ve learned two common and important characteristics about people: they love arguing and they love validation. ![]()
