초록
Julius Caesar is one of the grandest figures Shakespeare ever represented, and the person of most permanent historical importance. Caesar, as a private person, is a immensely sympathetic character, kind yet dangerous. Of course he is self-centered, and always conscious of being Caesar, perhaps even realizing his deification in advance. In spite of his infirmities including deafness, feeble temper, fever, and falling sickness, he conceals himself in the third person. However, he, as a public person, may idealize himself and is accurate. He is the northern star of his world and his rule partly depends upon his consistency. In other words he consolidates his political position in Rome. He has no natural superior, but his inherent rank has extended itself outward to dictatorship. Caesar is a human being and a mortal god. His genius was to merge Rome into himself, but Brutus vainly tries to merge himself into Rome. But Shakespeare necessarily remains Brutus, since Caesar has wrenched Rome forever. Shakespeare is ironically to suggest that no Roman could tolerate against the spirit of Caesar, and Rome was highly prosperous for Caesarism. In conclusion Julius Caesar is a human being that has a double self-image, a highly excellent mixture of magnificence and weakness.
Abstract
Julius Caesar is one of the grandest figures Shakespeare ever represented, and the person of most permanent historical importance.

Of course he is self-centered, and always conscious of being Caesar, perhaps even realizing his deification in advance. In spite of his infirmities including deafness, feeble temper, fever, and falling sickness, he conceals himself in the third person. However, he, as a public person, may idealize himself and is accurate. He is the northern star of his world and his rule partly depends upon his consistency. In other words he consolidates his political position in Rome. He has no natural superior, but his inherent rank has extended itself outward to dictatorship. Caesar is a human being and a mortal god. His genius was to merge Rome into himself, but Brutus vainly tries to merge himself into Rome. But Shakespeare necessarily remains Brutus, since Caesar has wrenched Rome forever. Shakespeare is ironically to suggest that no Roman could tolerate against the spirit of Caesar, and Rome was highly prosperous for Caesarism.
