    Casting Shakespeare's Caesar as Trump is offensive mainly because Caesar in that play is a very noble figure.

        Yeah, the real character is tragic. It's impossible for Trump to be anything but bathetic.

        Shakespeare is no anti-monarchist

        It's cheap stunt casting, having nothing to do with the assassination: Caesar is undoubtedly a public figure of ability and substance.

        overstatement – we don’t learn too much about him, and he’s killed in the middle of the play; in some ways, it’s not about his personality

        Not just noble, but so supremely talented that the playwright need not beat his readers over the head with this fact. They knew.

        I see Trump more as a King Lear type of figure. Only with a Twitter account and no attention span.
