well, i dont think that your idea is bad - but you really need to get a better focus for it. remember that, in essence, you're posing a question about some incident in history in order to reveal something about an historiographical issue - and your final question needs to reflect that. so perhaps something more along the lines of why society has felt the need to romanticise her death and what this reveals about the purpose of history, or how history panders to the demands of popular culture and creates these myths, using Cleopatra's death as a focus example?? just some suggestions off the top of my head to illustrate what i meant earlier

difficult. i did an ancient history one for mine and it wasnt all that good. in fact it kinda sucked... but i guess your looking at a historical myth and the way context has changed a view of history...
if your cool with all the philsophical shit youll have to alk about and you realise that oull have to use ALOT of examples and do HEAPS of research then it should be good... i like it because its original and that will impress your marker.
it will be difficult to do but the marks will be worth it
