Over the years, scholars have analysed many of the characters in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The Variorum editions organize much of this scholarly commentary into what we might think of as "threaded discussions" about individual characters that have occurred over the several hundred years following the original publication of the play. Not all of the characters have been discussed as extensively, and for these figures there is no commentary. Others, like Caesar and Brutus, have been discussed in such detail that the analyses were placed in the print appendix. As a result, we are still working on getting these on-line. What follows is a list of links to the critical commentary on specific characters contained in the 1913 Julius Caesar Variorum, edited by Horace Howard Furness, Jr.
