Prompt: In an essay of 1000-1250 words, compare the representation of ancient history/culture in both Gladiator and 300 with the representation of ancient history/culture in one of the following films: Quo Vadis (1951), Spartacus (1960), or Cleopatra (1963).
Your essay should compare both films from the 2000s with one mid-twentieth-century film. Just like for Essay 2, you can use the films as a whole or focus on one area of representation, theme, or type of character. You are encouraged to use material and arguments from your Essay 2 but you must completely rewrite and rephrase — do not cut and paste from your essay (or anyone else’s) because TurnItIn.com will flag similarities. Put another way: this is a completely new essay which builds on the foundations you developed in Essay 2 and incorporates the feedback you received.
There will be no opportunity to revise this essay before grades are submitted, so be sure to review the “Checklist for Essay 3” for specific requirements and expectations.
