A review by briipearl
Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
3.0
Shakespeare's sarcasm and comebacks never cease to amaze me. // Kinda sad that JC wasn't required reading for me in high school but glad I got to enjoy it in my twenties. I had a (false) preconceived notion that the play ended with the "dramatic" death of Caesar. Overall, I'm surprised at the fact that = Antony (the posterboy for sarcasm in JC) and Porcia ended up being my favorite characters.
I should not need, if you were gentle Brutus.
Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus,
Is it excepted I should know no secrets
That appertain to you? Am I yourself
But, as it were, in sort or limitation,
To keep with you at meals, comfort your bed,
And talk to you sometimes? Dwell I but in the suburbs
Of your good pleasure? If it be no more,
Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife.
Oh, snap.
