Compose two to three paragraphs to compare and contrast the two depictions (dialogue vs. painting) of Caesar's victorious return to Rome. Use specific examples to show the similarities and differences in the author's and painter's interpretations of the event. Use proper spelling and grammar.

BRUTUS

That Caesar looks so sad.
CASCA

BRUTUS

CASCA

BRUTUS

CASCA

CASSIUS

BRUTUS

CASCA

CASSIUS
