Shakespeare has used the word fawn rather than a synonym such as a flatter to describe his actions because fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain.

<h3>What is the use of synonym words? </h3>

The word fawn implies a young deer that represent immaturity. It means it could be used to express the pessimistic manipulative behavior of a person.

However, flatter is giving a positive perspective that arises from a praising scenario.

Thus, it fawn word is more appropriate to show how Cassius is <u>influencing</u> Brutus for his personal gain.
