Julius Caesar / 《尤里乌斯·恺撒》

Julius Caesar / 《尤里乌斯·恺撒》 is the [[WilliamShakespeare|Shakespeare]] play used by 124. 恺撒之死：历史的韵脚，是否已失效？ to show how literature reshapes classical political memory. The episode says rereading the play made Caesar harder to treat as a simple villain because Shakespeare presents him with grandeur, weakness, ideals, and ordinary human limitation.

The source’s most important point is the last-words problem. The famous “Et tu, Brute?” line is treated as Shakespeare’s literary transformation rather than a secure early historical fact. By removing the older phrase’s possible “my child” meaning, the play turns the scene toward political betrayal and idea conflict.
