Question

Which statement is true about the events depicted in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?

Answer 1

I agree with C but do you think it is correct?

Answer 2

C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.

Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
