 * Aim: William Shakespeare is the author of Julius Caesar. Why did Shakespeare write Julius Caesar? Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar came out and had its first performance while Elizabeth I of England was still in power. The Queen, however, was getting elderly. She refused to name a successor, and many worried that a civil war will break out, similar to that of Rome, when she died. Shakespeare was inspired to write Julius Caesar, to some degree by Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. **
