Round 12: Tossup 13

A play set in this city ends with Aaron the Moor wishing he had done more evil, as he is sentenced (10[1])to be buried chest-deep and starved. In that play set in this city, the queen Tamora eats pies containing her children, (10[1])fulfilling the title character’s revenge scheme. While observing a festival in this city, a character remarks (10[1])that “the fault ... is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” (10[3])In this city, a man repeatedly calls his enemy an ‘honourable man’ in a speech that asks for his (10[1])‘friends’ and ‘countrymen’ (10[1])to ‘lend me your ears.’ (10[1])In this city, a leader ignores a soothsayer’s warning to beware the Ides (10[1])of March. For 10 points, name this city, the setting (10[1])of William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. ■END■ (10[1])
