Accepting the Transience of Life by Marcus Aurelius Discussion

I’m working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.

 

Q1) Why would accepting the transience of life in ‘Marcus Aurelius, Meditations‘ (source 6.4A) lead to calmness in the face of death?

Q2) How does ‘Tacitus, HIstories‘ (source 6.2) relate the exclusivity of Jewish culture to the resentment of Jews by others?

Q3) According to ‘Tacitus, HIstories‘ (source 6.2) , what was the effect of one-man rule on the entire state’s moral character?

Q4) According to ‘Suetonius, Lives of the Twelve Caesars: Caligula; Claudius’ (source 6.3) how might Caligula’s cruelty have resulted from his unrivaled control of Rome?

Q5) After reading ‘Suetonius, Lives of the Twelve Caesars: Caligula; Claudius’ (source 6.3), was Claudius’s seeming respect for the Senate merely a fraud?
