The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Ivlivs Cæsar) is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare first performed in 1599. Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character, and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus. Brutus joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Julius Caesar, to prevent Caesar becoming a tyrant. Antony stirs up hostility against the conspirators. Rome becomes embroiled in civil war.

Romeo and Juliet
Eleanor & Park
Also about star-crossed loyalty and hard family violence, but contemporary, tender, and romance-driven rather than political tragedy.
The Siren
Keeps the doomed-choice, duty-versus-heart tension of the conspirators, though softened into a lyrical YA love story with a happy ending.
The Crown (The Selection #5)
Court intrigue, succession, and who deserves to rule return here, but as a lighter royal romance instead of civil war and assassination.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Shares the weight of choosing between obligation and personal desire, minus the bloodshed; warm, low-stakes, and firmly hopeful.
