To not stress and just act out your part without thinking about it too much trying to make it more natural. And to have fun
I can say that the "The Oath of the Horatii" which is by Jacques-Louis David shows that heroic actions were SIGNS or MARKS OF MASCULINITY. "The Oath of the Horatii" is actually a painting made by Jacques-Louis David, a French artist and this was done in the year 1784. Hope this helps.
