The historical Julius Caesar never said “Et tu, Brute?” Those words are famous from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. (Although Shakespeare didn’t invent this phrase. He likely did think they were Caesar’s actual last words.)

Thus inspiring today's largely unneeded reminder that William Shakespeare shows all the signs of being who he was, a half-educated provincial who researched his plays with the middle-brow English translations floating around local print houses, and who was free to follow his (brilliant) instincts in part because he often didn't know what he didn't know. Anti-Strafordians are classist kooks.
