I already started a thesis and intro statement for possible use to give the paper direction:
The true story of the assassination of Julius Caesar is a controversial and often unknown subject. The playwright, Shakespeare, famously captured the story of Julius Caesar and portrayed Brutus as the main culprit behind the assassination, however the history books tell another story.
Julius Caesar was a magnanimous leader, a dictator, feared by the other leaders who surrounded him. However, the people who followed him adored him and revered him.
