Les confessions du jeune Néron

The first-person perspective makes history feel intimate, but I wonder if this was based on historical sources or a creative decision to humanize Néron.

His vulnerabilities and ambitions made me question how much of his actions were driven by genuine selfhood versus the corrupting influence of power.

The focus on his youth offers a different perspective, but I’m curious about what sources or creative choices shaped the portrayal of his formative years.
