Julius Caesar
A Young Adult, Historical, Read For School book. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars/ But in ourselves. William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar //

Ironies abound and most of all for Brutus, whose fate it is to learn that his idealistic motives for joining the conspiracy against a would-be dictator are not enough to sustain the movement once Caesar is dead.
