SHAKESPEARE JULIUS CAESAR EXPLAINED - Shakespeare's Julius Caesar class for teachers and students

In this video, we explore the timeless lessons of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, a tragedy that reveals the dangers of power, ambition, and manipulation. We’ll break down the play’s major themes, including the jealousy of those who crave power, how noble figures like Brutus can be swayed by cunning arguments, and the persuasive power of speech that can manipulate entire populations. Using famous quotes from the play, we connect these lessons to political figures throughout history—from Napoleon to modern-day leaders—showing how the manipulation of the masses has always been a tool of those in power.

Whether you're studying for school or just curious about Shakespeare's insights into human nature and politics, this video will give you a clear understanding of Julius Caesar and its relevance to today. Watch now to see how the themes of ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and persuasion still resonate in modern politics!

Excellent analysis of Julius Caesar, Tristan. I enjoyed every moment of it. I just hope the message about today's politicians gets across before total damage is done and all is lost.

Please keep up the great work. Your content is by far the best in the literature sphere on YouTube. 😊

This is a remarkable coincidence. I've just started the Shakespeare unit with my Year 7, and we're studying Julius Caesar. This video is a gold repository! Thank you, Tristan.

I just want to say thank you so much and how lucky I feel to have found your channel. I am a 69-year-old woman who did not go to college and has been trying to teach myself how to read Shakespeare. You are so articulate and easy to listen to. Thank you for all you give us.!

Excellent video. Wonderful teaching. I also loved your Mark Anthony speech video. Thank you so much Tristan.

What a coincidence, I've just started reading Julius Caesar when you launched this video :-) Admittedly I found Caesar a bit repelling character at first. I reread his speech to Antony about "fatter men" and I still feel I do not understand it too well. It also surprised me actually how easily manipulated he was, as for a "northern star"... Now he believes Calphurnia and decides to stay at home, and the next thing we know is him being easily talked off of it by one of the conspirators. But the fat men! Why, who are they to be "not dangerous"? Does "fat" mean lazy and not active? If so, a great leader would not like to surround himself with this lot, I do not think. Ah, so many controversy :-) Thank you again for a great lecture and best wishes! Kath

Another great video, full of truths. Thanks.

Your reading into that Shakespeare's drama renders its suprisingly modern character. And in that the play is not an ancient tragedy with its obscurity. On the contrary, its prominent figures are becoming contemporary in their mode of conduct.

This play parallels with the Italian American mafia it reminded me of the film The Godfather
