Julius Caesar, Shakespeare
After reading John Green's infamous, The Fault in Our Stars, I wondered where Green really got the idea for the title from. Once I read Julius Caesar, I immediately made a connection. Cassius says, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings." An extremely modern and widely-read novel somewhat inspired by a Renaissance-era tragedy; anyone else make the connection?

The play is a sum of the insatiable taste for power, fame and wealth, triggered by envy, vengeance and egotism which are inherent in every human on the face of the earth.
Ever since Shakespeare penned that dramatic piece, I have seen mother earth birth million Julius Caesars, Brutuses, and Mark Antonies almost in every continent. And I wish our modern generation leaders should learn from Caesar's flaws while coup plotters and every antagonist across the globe should avoid playing "the Roman fools", otherwise we will all remain the "most honourable" men and women of our respective countries.
In a nutshell, the play is a history manual for both leaders and the led.

I was going through the list of books in the different genres when I stumbled upon Julius Caesar by Shakespeare . I read this book in form 5 and it opened my eyes to a different world in literature. Shakespeare's book Julius Caesar portrays a sense of trust, loyalty, betrayal, disloyalty and more disloyalty. "Et tu brute" is my most favourite phrase by the way. It's a very interesting book.
