Example Theme & Thesis statement for A: 

Although man may have good intentions, they tend to be corrupted by power. In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, it is clear in the characters of Caesar, Cassius, and Antony, that man is often tempted by power and sometimes corrupted by it.

Example Theme & Thesis statement for B:

Sometimes, superstition plays a significant role in individuals' lives. In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the frequent inclusion of omens and dreams illuminate the difference between fate and free will, as the plot depends on characters' choices to heed or ignore the superstitious elements in the play.
