Julius Caesar was one of the greatest battle leaders of Rome. During his victory march throughout Rome, Julius is accompanied by his close friends Brutus, Cassius, and Antony. Brutus sees how powerful Julius has become, and he wants to stop Julius from becoming the king of Rome, but does not want to take it to extreme levels. While thinking of what Brutus said, Cassius comes up with a plan to kill Julius. Cassius becomes the main antagonist and forges letters from the people to get Brutus on his side. They make a plan to kill Julius while he is walking to The Senate. On a certain day, both of them lure out Julius to The Senate and send Antony a fake message to get him to leave. Julius goes through town proudly, and when he gets to The Senate building, he is surrounded by the conspirators and stabbed to death. Julius keeps struggling to survive, but when he spots his close friend Brutus in the crowd, he gives up and dies. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 79, 36)"><span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(104, 44, 102); text-align: left"><span style="display: block; font-size: 140%; color: rgb(61, 164, 156); text-align: center"> <span style="color: rgb(105, 27, 27)"><span style="font-size: 150%; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; color: rgb(61, 125, 127); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(206, 89, 44); font-size: 80%; text-align: left; display: block"><span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; color: rgb(53, 151, 72)">         <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 79, 36)"><span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(104, 44, 102); text-align: left"><span style="display: block; font-size: 140%; color: rgb(61, 164, 156); text-align: center">  <span style="color: rgb(105, 27, 27)"><span style="font-size: 150%; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; color: rgb(61, 125, 127); text-align: center; display: block"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(206, 89, 44); font-size: 80%; text-align: left; display: block"><span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; color: rgb(53, 151, 72)">

There is a king named Lear, who has three daughters and wants to spread his wealth between them. Before he gives each one a portion of his kingdom, he calls them in and asks each one to show their love towards him. The two older daughters pretend they love him very much and know that their affection will get them a bigger portion of the kingdom. When the king asks his youngest daughter to show how much she loves him, she says that no words can describe her love towards her father. Thinking that the youngest daughter has no love or affection for him, Lear completely cuts her off. He splits his kingdom between the two daughters. All that Lear left for himself was 100 knights so that he can travel between the two sisters for visits. The youngest daughter then marries the King of France and moves to France. While she is gone, Lear tries to visit both of his daughters, and they both end up treating their father harshly and kick him out of their parts of the kingdom. With no place to go, Lear starts running away. When the youngest of Lear's daughters hears about her father, she sends French troops to rescue her dad. Even though the youngest daughter tries to save her father, both of them end up dying. [|King Lear]

The next night, Tybalt was still angered by Romeo showing up to the masquerade, therefore, calling him out for a duel. Romeo shows up, but refuses to fight Tybalt, who still does not know that Romeo and Juliet got married. Benvolio, part of the Montague, takes Romeo's place for the duel. When Romeo sees the fight, he jumps in the middle of it trying to stop it, but ends up being unsuccessful when Tybalt stabs and kills Benvolio. Romeo, disgusted by what just happened, kills Tybalt. Romeo returns to Juliet, and she finds out what happened. She is very disappointing by what happened but is still in love with Romeo. When Prince Escalus finds out about the homicide of Benvolio and Tybalt, he declares that Romeo is banned from Verona forever. Romeo then decides to move to Mantua. Not knowing about Juliet's marriage to Romeo, Juliet's father orders that Juliet marries  Paris in three days. Juliet tries to find a way not to marry Paris and find a potion that will put her to sleep and make her look dead for a period of time. She drinks it two nights before the wedding, and she is considered dead. Romeo never knew about her plan, and when he returns to Verona he right away goes to Juliet's grave. There he encounters Paris and kills him. Because of the grief for Juliet, Romeo drinks poison and dies next to his lover's body. When Juliet wakes up, she sees the bodies of Paris and Romeo. She is very upset about what happened, so she takes Romeo's dagger and buries it in her chest.
