If all else fails - good and evil, provided your language skills are ok you can use this for virtually any text and get away with a fairly decent mark :spzz:

The entire basis of my essay is the juxtapositioning of private life vs public office. This worked for me cause Caesar + my related text were both political allegory/thrillers.

An examination of the relationship between political power and personal conscience.

The conflicting perspectives of the Renaissance view of Caesar as a power-obsessed, corrupt tyrant destined for punishment with the modern perspective that his murder may have been ill advised.

At play's end, power itself is without a master, and the spirit of Caesar has been left unrevived: and this is revealed to be the true tragedy of Julius Caesar.
