Okay but people always ask “Why is it called ‘Julius Caesar’ if he dies in Act 3 and Brutus is the main focus? Why isn’t it called ‘Brutus?’” and I have the answer: it’s because no matter what happens, to anyone, to pretty much every character from Antony to Cinna the Poet to Cassius to finally Brutus, Caesar is standing by and is essentially the cause or related in some way. His presence never leaves the play or the characters, and that’s why the supernatural in this play is so darn spooky.
