A note on the Shakespeare reference
The third category points to singular nouns associated with a famous address in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Parade’s answer page identifies the category and group, but does not print the underlying speech line verbatim, so this solution does not supply a quotation.
How to approach a tricky Connections board
Words can appear to fit more than one group, so consider alternate meanings and relationships before committing to a set. Shuffling the board can also help make a pattern easier to see; this is general solving advice, not a claim about a tested solve of this particular grid.
