I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

If you're playing a Ventrue, you should read Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Act 3 Scene 2. If you've read it before, you should read it again. Honestly, read the whole play, but pay special attention to that scene. Then, recognize that White Wolf canon places Mark Antony as an embraced Ventrue

Hm. This does pose a question of 'Who is the iconic Shakespearian character for each of the Clans'.

Also, I need to read the Histories, it seems. *shameful confession*

Ya. I see MacBeth himself as more of a Gangrel or Brujah brute guy.

Julius Caesar is actually denoted as a tragedy and not a history. Odd but true.

That was me. It apparently logged me out between replies. I don't know.

True. But Henry and Richard and George and a few others mentioned above are from the Histories. I've read the Tragedies, but the Histories eluded me. Or I them. Whichever. :)

Richard III /is/ a history, technically, but it doesn't read like one. That character is awesome, it's where the lines "This is the winter of our discontent" and "my kingdom for a horse!" come from. Henry V is the "we happy few" speech. Both good, really.
