ABSTRACT
Already in Muret we find many details repeated in later Cresar plays. Cresar is somewhat boastful, yet he is swayed first by his wife and then by Decimus Brutus. On the other hand he is not superstitious and once his mind is made up he is resolute with an arrogance drawn from the chroniclers who called him the enemy of the augurs. No evidence of Cresar's tyranny is produced, but Brutus and Cassius both assert it, and after the murder Brutus calls Cresar
the terror of his country, The Senate's foe, the slaughterer of innocents, The Law's ruin, plague of public right.
