Macbeth

I'm aiming for a grade 9 in English Lit - I'm currently working at a mid 8. I wanted to analyse the quote about Tarquin from Macbeth, and wanted to include the context about him and Lucretia, and Shakespeare's poem about it (not sure I can type the name on here, but google it if you need more context). However, I don't know how to word this in an essay, to make it appropriate for GCSE, or whether to include it at all.

It is the same for An Inspector Calls, and Geralds/Erics actions towards Eva/Daisy.

Can anyone help me on how to word this, or whether to include it at all? I just thought it was high-level mature context, that might set my essay apart from the rest.

Im using this quote asw, im gna about how tarquin was a roman tyrant who graped his wife, macbeth also wants to become a barbaric tyrant. he sees brutality as synonymous with power. his ambition and hubris obstructs his moral compass.
