Round 12: Tossup 13

A play set in this city ends with Aaron the Moor wishing he had done more evil, as he (10[1])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, a character remarks that “the fault ... is not in our stars, (10[1])but in ourselves.” (10[2]-5[1])In this city, a man repeatedly calls his enemy an ‘honourable man’ in a (10[1])speech that asks (10[1])for his ‘friends’ and ‘countrymen’ (10[1])to ‘lend me (10[2])your (-5[1])ears.’ (10[1])In 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■ (10[2])
