Does anywhere have good knowledge of Julius Caesar, my classics teacher is really confusing and doesn't teach us anything. I am doing an essay on Caesar and his conflicts with Sulla and such, please help and give tips.

The foremost thing to remember is that Shakespeare's ancient historical plays are divorced from history, so an essay on the historical relationship between the two borderlines on out of context. Regardless, Sulla and Caesar aren't really people in the play, they are the framework for the development and conflict found within Brutus and Marc Anthony.

Read Gallic War, Civil War, and Plutarch's Life.

If you are a pleb:
Holland, Tom (2003). Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic. Anchor Books. ISBN 1-4000-7897-0.

If not:
Weinstock, Stefan (1971). Divus Julius. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-814287-4.

Don't put that in your essay. Caesar's rival was Pompey. It was Marius who tangled with Sulla.

Just read what the guy wrote. He was a great writer, and the books are full of battles and intrigue. It's seriously great literature. Just bear in mind that it was all a PR exercise for him.
