Connor Armstrong · Answer 1

The correct answer is: and embellished on the event details.

Indeed, one instance is the assassination of Caesar. In the play, it takes place in the Senate Capitol, which is of course a very symbolic area. However, in real life it was carried out at the Theater of Pompey. Real life is even more symbolic since many of the conspirators had been close to late Pompey and the choosing of such place to murder Caesar was also an act of revenge. Also, Caesar was stabbed 23 times in real life and 33 times in the play; no doubt for dramatic purposes. Finally, in real life Caesar never uttered the words "Et tu Brute? (you also, Brutus) ?".
