The article relates to power because it describes Brutus' concern. He believes that Caesar will become corrupt the second he puts the crown on his head.

Quote of the week:
"He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there's the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder and that craves wary walking. Crown him that, and I then grant we put a sting in him that at his will he may do danger with."

The quote relates to the theme of the week because it talks about how Caesar will handle power. Whether or not he'll change the way he treats people and what decisions he'll make.
Personal Connection
At the age of thirteen, my mom got me a credit card. I would mostly use it on petty stuff like phone cases and lip balms. Sooner or later, my mom found out how much I was spending and put me on a limit of how much I could spend. I was given fifty dollars a month and couldn't go past it, or it would come out of my allowance the next month. My experience relates to the "QotW" because I was given something that was easy to abuse and I took advantage of it.
