    Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, is the story of a man trying his best to
    make reasonable, rational decisions. Marcus Brutus is this struggling character
    who evades constant pressure from all sides to gloriously pull through, yet dies
    at play's end. Undoubtedly, Brutus is the main character, and driving force of
    the play, despite the misleading title of Julius Caesar. Three separate,
    critical aspects help to show the reader how unimportant Julius Caesar is to the
    play. Caesar appears, in dreams, and thoughts of multiple people, giving
    warnings and special messages. Nobody seems to pay attention to him.
    Another example is illustrated by the way that Brutus seems to dominate his own
    actions, whatever he is thinking. Also, Antony declares war on Brutus, but not
    out of love for Caesar, but anger toward the conspirators. As these aspects are
    explained in further detail one will be sure of the fact that Brutus, without
    question, clearly dominates the play as a whole.

    Caesar warns numerous people of ensuing tragedies multiple times, and not once
    is he listened to. Calpurnia cries out terrified three times during the night,
    "Help ho - they murder Caesar!" The reader soon learns of a dream in which
    Caesar's wife visualizes her husband's death. She begs and pleads Caesar to
    stay home that day, however, nobody ever pays any attention to her dream. In
    this instance, Caesar has no influence on the outcome of the play.
