Though not my favourite play of Shakespeare's, I can definitely appreciate the importance of this political play and its exploration of what can ensue in a rebellion against the 'monarch', or rulers. 

I do find it interesting to know it was widely believed in 16th century England that the Trojan, Brutus, founded Britain - it makes you think about the impact this play would have had on audiences back then.

I think for me, it was just a bit too heavy and not as engaging as other Shakespeare plays I have read, and so I didn't really get into it.
