Video SparkNotes: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar summary

[beardedasianguy1]

very well done, excellent summary

[tralaluv]

I really like this video, but it saddens me to see all of the other comments talking about how this saved people from days of reading and will help them ace their next test. Yes, it's a great video, but it was meant to enhance and ease the reading, not replace it. Everyone who simply substitutes this video for the play is not only missing out on many important details, but on a great piece of theatre and literature as well.

[eurasianchica]

What a good story... I loved this book.

[Mandrous]

I used to read books like you, then i took an arrow to the knee

[mszegedy]

Ugh. I don't like this kind of stuff. You're supposed to read the (relatively very short) book. This barely explains anything.

[emurphy94]

Thank you! You're a life saver!

[Bringindacheeze]

i almost feel like something bad is going to happen... cause this is too good to be true

[zoordia]

@Berith003

[xavierxxaj]

[Superfoiling]

This is boring. You understand something very well....BUT what about the future? What should we do in situations of uncertainty?...

[JackRendar]

2 People failed English despite watching this. Such sad souls :P

[TheVisibleWind]

@JackRendar no u

[DEIMOSLOL]

"Shows that he is idealistic?" Googled Idealism and I really don't understand what it means. Can someone explain how Brutus is idealistic??

[dyrestrike]

@DEIMOSLOL haven't read this in awhile, but I'm guessing he's idealistic because he does stupid things because he things they're right (even though they're impractical). For example, he should've had Marc Antony executed on the spot, but he felt it would be wrong/ too violent to do so. As a result, Antony gets the people of Rome + a huge army and eventually defeats Brutus.

[sabifinner]

THANK YOU, I Have a test next week on this book,dint understand it properly but now i do

[AddictedToPayne]

[mochalucha]

son of a bitch ap language

[Metalgears1]

SparkNotes is the best. Thing. Ever. Everything about it is so perfect...

I couldn't survive without it.

[coolguy701]

i passed my test without actually sitting down and really reading this book. and for that i thank you greatly.

[ogorman8696]

@coolguy701 this is supposed to be a summary/review not a substitute for the book. Y don't you actually do something good for you and read the book instead of listening to a 9 minute video

[coolguy701]

@ogorman8696 this book is sometimes hard to understand. the great gatsby scarlet letter and every other book on on this sparknotes page ive read man. except the shakespeare books. im ganna honestly say i sometimes dont have a clue what hes talking about. thats why i kinda admire Earnest Hemingway for his simplicity in writting.

[ogorman8696]

@coolguy701 u should read the nfs on sparknotes that what i do the modern translation is sooo much easier to understand

[spudsandtaters]

@coolguy701 did you refer to the play as a 'book' and still pass?

[coolguy701]

@spudsandtaters why do you insult like that?



[TheAlexx27]

@coolguy701 lol you got 50%

[coolguy701]

@TheAlexx27 but a 87 on the test my friend.

[amberdog1130]

wait, doesn't cassius ask his servant to stab him and then after that brutus kills himself? thats the way it is in the book, but this video says cassius kills himself, and then brutus has his servant kill him. its switched around

[Zacharyg5]

@amberdog1130 The book I read had it in the way that the video describes it. Maybe you're reading a different book from them?

[Xiofang]

@amberdog1130 brutus kills himself he only has his soldier hold the sword while brutus runs into it. the picture shown in this video while describing it is disieving. Cassius is said to kill himself because he makes his slave kill him and then his slave will be free. they both kill themself

[MrBmxer6969]

wow deffenlty going to pass my english final now thanks

[sonicandshadowsgirl]

Thank you, now I don't feel so lost in English class. :)

[dannyleeg]

Great work I like it and a very brief and concise summary

[jenheartgiraffe]

whadda fuck?!?! it's like ceaser WANTED to be assassinated, so stupid

[shiniyoyo]

@jenheartgiraffe ur on dope bro. Real talks tho sick summary

[dinofashion10]

This is great. I have a Midterm in English 10 Honors centered around this play and I'm glad I was able to watch this before the test.

[edge2022]

Excellent summary. I hope that you guys get video summaries like this one for all the books you summarize. The video helps to see the story unfold. very helpful

[quanmandetil]

Awesome.

I like what you're doing here. Keep it up! :D
