Cato: A tragedy in five acts

The play focuses on Cato's moral and political struggle as he chooses to uphold republican ideals and personal honor rather than submit to Caesar's dictatorship. It presents a conflict between individual conscience and authoritarian power, emphasizing stoic resolve and the cost of political integrity. The work is a neoclassical drama that reflects Enlightenment-era concerns with liberty and civic duty. more

“Credit card companies are jacking up interest rates, lowering credit limits, and closing accounts - and people who have made timely payments are not exempt.
