Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare bored me with its overcomplicated and dramatic tale. It has a solid story and plot however Shakespeare uses to many literary devices and you soon lose what was great about the story.
One of the many characters in the play is Brutus, a wealthy, well respected senator, who forces the conspiracy to thrive. Brutus's story does not end well as his wife, Partia, swallows hot coals, he would also share the same fate. Another key character in the play is Mark Antony, one excellent with words and seems to sway other's opinions. He did not help murder Caesar, however he uses his skill with words to convince the Senate to do what he pleases. Playing a surprisingly small role is Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome at the time.
The plot and idea of the play is excellent however Shakespeare fails to captivate the reader. Definitely stay away from this book.
