Why people recommend it
Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare is a historical tragedy that explores political ambition, conspiracy, betrayal, and the consequences of assassination in ancient Rome. Spencer Klavan strongly recommended reading the play on The Megyn Kelly Show, asserting that anyone who reads it will find their life improved. Gary Parr brought up the play on Freakonomics Radio to describe how a dedicated tenth-grade English teacher introduced him to Shakespeare and leadership principles. Ben Bowlin mentioned the play on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, noting that it is the source of the famous phrase warning people to beware the Ides of March. Adrian Edwards discussed the play on The Book Review in the context of the First Folio, explaining that because original manuscript versions were lost, theatrical prompt books and the First Folio are crucial for preserving the text of Julius Caesar alongside other works like The Tempest and Macbeth. Furthermore, Neil deGrasse Tyson frequently referenced the play across multiple episodes of StarTalk Radio, quoting lines regarding human agency and the contrast between personal responsibility and astrological fate to make broader points about human behavior and science fiction.
