Julius Caesar INTERPRETATION HELP! (1 Viewer)

[Kujah]

I'm doing Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at the moment, and I have an assessment coming up in two weeks. it requires to write an essay about the central themes and how they are conveyed.

However, that's not my main issue. Another criteria is that we incorporate a reference to a different interpretation of the text in our essay.

So I'm wondering, apart from a Marxist or Post-modernism interpretation, what other perspectives could I get? Can a feminist perpsective be one?

And what would a Marxist interpretation of the play be really like?

I'm also studying Julius Caesar ( which is really boring). I think you could have a perspective from a Feminist audience as the only female characters in the play are Portia and Calphunia and they reflect submissive roles of women highlighting the powerless position of women in a male- dominated society.

I have a speech on the play but the audience is the Jacobean/ Elizabethan audience.

Hope i've helped a little.

I've never read Julius Caesar but some other types of readings you could consider might be....historicist, feminist or perhaps psychoanalytic. (these are just some of the one's we're using for Othello so i don't know if they're at all relevant...)
