Original artwork, not a still
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side, come hot from hell, Shall in these confines, with a monarch's voice, Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war, That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker imagines a murdered ruler's vengeful spirit, accompanied by a goddess of ruin, crying havoc and unleashing war. The deed will then stink across the land, with the dead lying unburied and groaning. It is a grim vision of retribution that turns violence loose without restraint.
