Essay & Composition Writing
Introduction - is my thesis ok?
I have to write an essay for Julius Caesar for Act II specifically about "What kind of relationships do Calpurnia and Portia have with their husbands? What do their relationships with their husbands reveal about Brutus and Caesar? How are both Portia and Calpurnia alike and different?"
Here is what I wrote for my intro to break it down into
- Relationship between Caesar + Calpurnia and what it reveals about Caesar
- Relationship between Brutus + Portia and what it reveals about Caesar
- How Calpurnia and Portia are different/alike as wives.
My intro:
William Shakesphere, author of the classic tragedy Julius Caesar, chose to show the wives of both Brutus and Caesar, two powerful and well-respected noblemen, in Act II of his play. After revealing the public sector of the two men’s lives in Act I, Shakesphere felt it necessary to include the private affairs of both Brutus and Caesar in Act II. In Act II of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare contrasts the typical Roman marital relationship between Caesar and his wife, Calpurnia, with the unusual equalistic relationship between Brutus and Portia, while making apparent the differences and similarities between the two women as wives and revealing the true personalities of Brutus and Caesar.
Is the sentence structure ok? Do I get accross what I am going to talk about or is it too specific/too vague. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

A great thesis should be short and sweet. You must express an opinion about the subject and then bolster that opinion with information throughout the body of your paper. Example: In the play Julius Ceasar , the true characters of Brutus and Ceasar are revealed through their relationships with their wives.
