Answer 1

Julius and Ceasar is a tragic play by William Shakespeare. In the play, imagery is used as tone and is established by the words perched, ravenous, and feast.

What is imagery?

Imagery is a figurative language used in plays, poems, and literature and stimulates the reader's sense receptors of touch, smell, taste, sound, etc. by sharing sensory information.

Imagery in the play is established by the usage of the words feast, ravenous, and perched. These words relate to the sensory organs and are created by the image of the perched eagles who are eating dead soldiers.

The eagles and the crows feasting on the dead justify the use of the word that portrays imagery.

Therefore, this scene depicts the pathetic emotions of the author.
