THE TRAGEDY OF “JULIUS CAESAR”

The second tragedy of Shakespeare from Roman life (the first was the bloody tragedy "Titus Androni- cus"), the first was published in 1623, but was created much earlier. Based on other additional sources from this period, it was concluded that the tragedy occurred in 1599. This tragedy, borrowed from Roman history, is a link in the transition from hilarious comedies, chronicles and Shakespeare's lyrical tragedy in an optimistic spirit to the creation of great tragedies
