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 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 (10[1])revenge scheme. While observing a festival in this city, (10[1])a character remarks that “the fault ... 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 (10[1])that asks for his ‘friends’ and ‘countrymen’ to (10[1])‘lend me your ears.’ In (10[1])this city, 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. ■END■
