According to the critic Maurice Charney, Julius Caesar
is "deeply ambiguous. We grow increasingly certain
after the middle of the play that the conspirators will
lose, but we feel a strange balancing of values
between the party of Brutus and the party of Caesar."
Do you agree that Shakespeare offers a balanced
view of the conflict, or does he portray one side more
favorably than the other? Support your opinion with
evidence from the play.
