Shakespeare in world literature
‘A man who has
held his head high in such deep-seated manner had had the recognition of the
world as a harbinger of highest human prestige in world literature’ was the
remarkable statement applicable to William Shakespeare. He conquered the heart
of common people who understood the value of life and the nature and even
though, he has led his pens through the mainstreams of social as well as human
problems. William Shakespeare was not only the name of a play writer but also, he
was a versatile genius in the sky of English literature who led his pen through
out the intensive problems of human beings irrespective of castes and creed and
even with his gallant touch, the common phenomena of human societies have been
reflected in a systematic manner.
In his literary
creation, Julius Caesar, the consequence of jealousness created on
overambitious has been vividly contemplated. In Act 1 Scene 1, the victory of
Julius Caesar over Pompey’s son has been highlighted where the working people
of Rome have a
day off to celebrate. Flavious and Marlius, two Roman officers have shown
agitation against Caesar and according to them, Caesar has been a great threat
by his unusual work and hardihood to Rome ’s
Republican rule. In Act 1, scene 2, with a full entourage, Caesar has protested
march through the streets of Rome
where he has just arrived before the races that are a part of the celebration
of the feast of Lupercal. From out of the Crowd, a soothsayer warned Caesar to
suffer the severe results of such marching. But Brutas and his followers have
observed such marching with high criticism. According to them, Caesar needs to
be eliminated from the throne of Rome .
As per act 1, scene 3, one conspirator Casca plans to continue attempts to
murder Caesar for which the Romans would live peacefully. And in this way, up to
Act5 scene 5, the conspiracy of Brutas and his follower have been reflected as
a tentative flow. Caesar wanted to build his country in a significant manner
but some miscreants who would believe in fables has continued efforts to
discard Caesar. Caesar has ruled over his country and he had made lots of
reforms in a different sector. When he
sees that the battle is lost, Brutas runs upon his own sword rather than he
captured. Antony
gives a moving eulogy over his body declaring him “ the noblest Roman of them
all.” In gesture of good will, Octovious
agrees to pardon all of Brutas’ men and take them into his service. The
civil war ends with an omen for peace and tranquility for the future.
As he has
entered in English literature as a Play Writer but he has thought about the
poetic diction in the world which speaks about nature, love and the superiority
of natural aspects virtually. In his flow of writing, he has included all sorts
of literary contents very tactfully and used his dialect in the creation of
world literature for which he had achieved the highest honor as the greatest
author and dramatist.
