Round 10: Tossup 13

A play set in this city ends with Aaron the Moor wishing he had done more evil, (10[1])as he is sentenced to be buried chest-deep and starved. In that play set in this city, the queen Tamora eats pies containing her children, fulfilling the title character’s revenge scheme. While observing a festival in this city, (-5[1])a character remarks that “the fault (10[1])... is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” (10[1])In this city, a man repeatedly calls his enemy an ‘honourable man’ in a speech that asks for his ‘friends’ and ‘countrymen’ (10[2])to ‘lend me your (10[1])ears.’ In this city, (10[1])a leader ignores a soothsayer’s warning to beware the Ides of March. For 10 points, name this city, the setting of William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
