The Shakespeare's decision to open the play with Caesar's triumphant return to the city create tension and suspense clearly lays out a major conflict.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Shakespeare’s idea to open the play with Caesar’s triumphant return to city created a major conflict rather than helping the audience to find who the antagonist or the protagonist is. Also, it did not even try to address the query of the audience that, whether Caesar is the protagonist. Though it conveys what the center conflict is, it does create a great confusion and does not answer to the questions of the audience.
