I believe he may want to eat at the table because back then in the segregated times African Americans were not allowed to eat with the other guests they had to eat in the kitchen. So basically he was saying he was an American as well and his color made no difference to whether or not he could eat with the rest of the guests.

Hope that made some sort of sense and helped!

Which of the following elements did Shakespeare adapt from Plutarch, and which did
Maksim231197 [3]

Shakespeare's plays about Roman history were based on North's translation of Plutarch. The elements he adapted were Cleopatra's decision to take refuge in her tomb or monument.

William Shakespeare drew inspiration for his plays about Roman history from North's translation of Plutarch, which also helped shape his idea of the tragic hero. Shakespeare copied entire paragraphs from North's version with just slight changes, which can be used to evaluate the literary quality of the work.

Besides the tone, there are additional differences in the content between Plutarch's work and Julius Caesar's. Shakespeare leaves out numerous important details from his play, like Porcia's attempt to prove her mettle by intentionally cutting herself on her thigh. Brutus and Portia's discussion of his problems, on the other hand, is left out by Plutarch.
