Write a brief paragraph, explaining the irony surrounding the assassination of Julius Caesar.

A Battle Story

Two men march toward one another on a battlefield, with weapons aimed to kill. As they draw closer to each other, they begin to see something familiar in the other's steps. The closer they come, the lower their weapons fall. Within feet from one another, they realize they are brothers. They drop their weapons and embrace as bullets whiz around them.

Two brothers meeting on opposite sides of a battlefield is unexpected, and is an example of situational irony. Situational irony is when a situation turns out differently than expected. This technique surprises the audience and makes a story more entertaining, and is used to great effect in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
