(Kothari)The qualitative method is “a method involving systematically gathering enough information about a particular person, social setting, event or group to permit the researcher to effectively understand how the subject operates or functions” (Berg, 283).Qualitative research is the collection, analysis and interpretation of comprehensive narrative and visual (non- numerical) data to gain insights to a particular phenomenon of interest. This type ofresearch can be also done by observing what people do say and think.
The primary source is the actual text analysis of the plays A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt and Brutus’ speech in Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
