This was the time when the Roman Empire was falling into disorder and the power was being shared out between the different factions which threatened the stability of the Roman Empire. Many Romans sympathized with Pompey, others with Caesar, but still many more supported Cato and his faction of conservatives. These factions started to compete against each other; some such as Mark Antony and Octavian allied themselves with Pompey to defeat Caesar. Cato, on the other hand, supported the conservative faction and in the end even made the league and then started to fight against Caesar. Caesar gathered forces and marched upon Rome which finally led to his assassination. Others such as Brutus, Cassius and others followed Brutus to challenge Caesar and finally killed Caesar.


If we accept that this is where Shakespeare meant to direct our attention, what does it mean to read the women as dreamweavers? It means that they are not powerless, that they have agency and influence, even if that influence is negative. Perhaps Shakespeare wished to highlight the futility of prayers, prophecies, and dreams. These often seem to take on a greater weight and importance, a greater necessity, than they deserve. If so, the women in Julius Caesar warn their husbands against the fatal consequences of ambition and lust. However, if a person accepts these messages and heeds them, they will not help him. If the women in Julius Caesar warn their husbands against suicide, and it s not only for the reasons given by Cassius, then they encourage suicide. It is either one thing or the other. One cannot be right without being the other. What then is the better thing? 84d34552a1
