I taught this when I student taught and now I'm getting to teach it again. It always amazes me how many of Shakespeare's quotes and works are integrated into our every day culture. This is another example of some great lines and an interesting look at what makes someone honorable or a great leader. ( ) I've never read, nor watched Julius Caesar, and it seemed like a good addition to the other Roman historical fiction I've been wallowing in. Reading it was an illuminating experience, as throughout I kept thinking: "Oh, that's where that quote is from!" And this is indeed a damnably quotable play - now one of my favorites, I think. As for the No Fear edition, I liked the format and found it enabled quick reading. I tend to get terribly distracted by the notes in most editions (I find them linguistically interesting); so the complete lack of them here was actually a benefit. The "plain English" version on each page facing the original text was useful for the occasional quick glance to confirm that I had interpreted things correctly, but as it was the exact opposite of linguistically interesting it never distracted me from the flow of reading. ("Plain English translation" = Shakespeare dumbed down to a middle school vocabulary; which is just as painful as it sounds, but useful.) CASSIUS Review from my blog, This Space Intentionally Left Blank Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar is a classic and one of my favorites. The "ambitious" Caesar is mudered by Brutus. Brutus and other dignitaries spend a lot of time brooding,but eventually the act is done. The plot is full of quarrels and violence. While the plot may be quite sad, the quotes are what makes this play one of my favorites. I recommend 9-12th graders read a version with the original and modern English translation beside each other. The play provides some moving speeches and quotes to be analyzed and some of the characters are complex and compelling. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
