The Tragedy of Julius Caesar deals with the themes of fate, betrayal, and honor, among others. The chief conflict of the play centers on the conspirators' hatred of Julius Caesar's increasing power, which could lead to his becoming king and to the dissolution of the Republic. This tension is about power, one of the play's themes. Also, the men who will assassinate Caesar are his friends, and the play explores the limits of that bond as it is tested by ambition and power.
