Nero's Murder Plot
🎯 Learning Intention
Understand how Tacitus presents Nero's escalating desperation and moral deterioration through his plotting of Agrippina's murder.
Success Criteria
- I can explain the progression of Nero's murder methods (poison → sword → elaborate ship plot)
- I can analyse how each rejected method reveals characterisation (Nero's paranoia, Agrippina's cunning)
- I can evaluate Tacitus' narrative techniques in building tension and moral judgement
- I can identify the role of Anicetus as the enabler of Nero's crime
