I believe that Shakespeare’s representation of the Julius assassination is very vague giving play directors the chance to show it in the way that they would want to.
you can see how vague it is in the lack of stage direction, this is one of the most important scenes in the play and has some of the least stage directions. even though it is vague it has a blunt sort of edge to it in the way that it doesn’t mess about, in most scenes their is a riddle or something deeper to look at but in this scene everything is on the surface. we can see the bluntness in the way people talk they say one line then stop. I’m not sure if he does this to replicate the knifes in the story or for a different reason al together but I am sure that this style is very different to his usual poetic flow of words.
