[CASCA first, then the other Conspirators and BRUTUS stab CAESAR] 1285 Caesar. Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar.Dies Cinna. Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead! Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. (Shakespeare, lines 1281-89) In Shakespeare’s Ghosts, Shakespeare and other dramatists murder Marlowe, one of the most famous dramatists of that time.
