Hey just a question in regards to how i should approach an essay for Julius Caesar in Conflicting perspectives. An example question is:
“To what extent has textual form shaped your understanding of conflicting perspectives?”
So when I write my essay am I better to take a holistic approach, writing about a running thread/theme that I see in the play and where conflicting perspectives fall under it e.g. 'What it is to be a man'. Or rather do I just have paragraphs which just point out areas in the text where conflicting perspectives arise (Women & Political life, kinship & republicanism, fate & destiny, Youth & Middle age) just writing four strong paragraphs on them & thats it???
^ Thats probably the easier line to take but I always thought for high band marks you try to delve into the philosophy behind the text. Although for me at the moment Julius Caesar just seems to have so many different themes & ideas & at the moment I cant really find an umbrella in which they all fall under.
Help is appreciated, very confused right now.
