One work that reflects the Shakespearean drama Julius Caesar, the triumvirate leader that won a military victory against Pompey, is The Ides of March (2011). Caesar aspires to become emperor of Rome, but Cassius and Brutus believe that Caesar has grown arrogant and will threaten Rome’s republic by installing a dictatorship. This leads to Brutus and Cassius’ plot to kill Caesar, which they do by stabbing him to death on the Senate floor. The Ides of March shares the name of the famous quote from the play when the soothsayer tells Caesar to “beware the Ides of March.” This saying/time of the year is a warning of the betrayals, doom, and heartbreak that is to come. In the film, Duffy tells Paul to “be careful” because he might tempt Stephen away

An ancient Chinese proverb states “One cannot know peace without knowing war” (Herzberg). In a time where all that plagues many nations was war, it was inevitable that a time of peace needed to follow or at least the sober idea of it. The proverb was created to validate wars and later turned into a way to approach life’s troubles. Being within an individual or on a global scale, war and peace are connected. They exist coherently but never together; they are the cause and effects of each other. One follows the other yet both are needed in order to understand the other one. This relationship between war and peace is developed in the Erich Maria Remarque's novel, All Quiet on the Western Front. While the first major world war is the background

The history and background of an author can play an important role in any story they write. If the author is a white German man who is writing a nonfiction story about a family who experienced the Trail of Tears, that story could probably offend Native Americans.
