A Tragic End Assessment

Step 1: As you progress through Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, you'll track the use of literary elements as they're used to create meaning in the play. You
will find two examples of each element. Be sure to include:
 the act number in which the literary element appears (I, II, III, IV, V)
 the scene number where the literary element appears (i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, etc.)
 the line in which the literary element appears
 an explanation of the literary element in the context of the scene
