The first aspect that I would like to discuss is that of the plot within “The Rite” and “The Man I Killed”.

A senate composed of Patricians elected these consuls and at this time, lower-class citizens, or plebeians, had virtually no say in the government.

It is hardly surprising that many turned to republican political ideas and values, especially grammar school boys such as Shakespeare, who had to make a career in London by producing what a wider public wanted."(100).
