    Idealism can be both a strength and a weakness.  Using the character of Brutus, address this two-sided quality.  Do you think that Brutus' idealism helped or hindered him more?  Support your position with textual evidence (And don't forget to cite your evidence from the book!)

    First, discuss what qualities you consider essential for one to be a good leader. Then, based on your reading of Julius Caesar's character throughout the play, discuss whether or not you would consider Julius Caesar to be a good leader as portrayed by William Shakespeare?
