Plutarch's Life and Legendary Writings

Frank William Wall Bank, an ancient historian, told the reader much about Pertak and his life. Plutarch is "Biography writer and writer whose biography has greatly influenced the evolution of European articles, biographies and historic writing" (Walbank). One of his most famous and well-known books is the parallel life where the popularity of Plutarch is primarily and ... the intention to encourage mutual respect between the Greeks and the Romans (Walbank) To do. "Parallel Livings" is written as a moral influence on the reader and explains various virtues by combining the famous Greek personality and the corresponding Roman personality.

Marcus Antonis's life written by Plutarch is the source of creation of Shakespeare for Anthony and Cleopatra. Plutarch is a Greek word written in the first century, and his work "Life of Marcus Antonis" reflects the same lifetimes of Greek and Romans. He accepted Rome as the ruler of Greece, but claimed that Greece is a more mature culture of both countries. The reason is that Plutarch gives positive and negative attributes to his personality and emphasizes their way of thinking over their nationality.

A great historian Plutarch (160 BC - 120 AD) wrote a brief history. In his survey, Pultak said, "This is not the history of my writing, but life, and in the most glorious actions we do not always show virtues of vice, which is more than thousands of death battles It will reveal many characters - Purtaku (Alexander's life / Julius's life) Caesar, Parallel Life, it may be this source from Thomas North in 1579. Greek is from French, French to English Translated and handed over to the hands of "The First Crow" playwright William Shakespeare.

Compared to the life of Julutus Caesar of Plutarch and the life of Marcus Brutus, the comment on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar clearly shows that Plutarch is certainly a source of Shakespeare's material. Even if Shakespeare deviates from Plutarch, the continuity of the story never changes from one version to another. Naturally, Shakespeare made some changes to adapting the stage, and in many ways these changes enriched the story and pulled out the original design personality. Of course, the most interesting is how to expand the role of Shake Spear, especially Julius Caesar and Marcus Brutus. He had to degenerate as a dictator, but Caesar was drawn warmly as a person who was not ambitious, but a tragic leader who fell in the wrong place at the wrong time.
