Abuse Of Power In Julius Caesar

In William Shakespeare's story, the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, we find several important elements and some good practical advice that would be wise to heed. For example, with great power comes great responsibility. However, great power corrupts greatly. In the story, Julius Caesar has seemingly abused his power to the point that his closest advisors, and even his most trusted friend Brutus, would conspire to kill him, and carry out the deed themselves. It was their loss of trust, their loss of confidence in their friend and leader, that had caused them to choose this­ course of action.
