Answer:
His tone is that of someone that is worried or even alarmed at Caesar’s return after he defeated his rival and also former co-ruler Pompey. Marullus knew that this victory would mean that Caesar will be the most powerful man in Rome. For this same reason he felt in a very dangerous position. He assumed that Caesar would soon impose one-man rule. Marullus joins Flavius who feels the same way to try and put a stop to Caesar.
It is clear that the interpretation the painter has depicted is very different. This is apparent when you compare the painting to the word that Marullus himself used to describe the return of Caesar. In the painting it seems as though Marullus is impressed by Caesar’s feat. I believe he was just putting up a front while deep down he felt disgusted just looking at Caesar in his glory moment.
Elizabethan tragedies were structurally similar to Seneca's plays as most Elizabethan tragedies include a Chorus, have complex plots, a five-act structure, long rhetorical passages.
The Elizabethan tragedy was the mostly influenced from the Senecan form of tragedy. Since the tragedies of Seneca was not acted on the stage, it took the help of figurative languages and rhetorical devices to fill the gap. Elizabethan plays were also filled with the descriptive usage of language, detailed descriptions and the use of long speeches. Shakespeare had borrowed the theme of revenge tragedy from the Seneca for his plays. The revenge taken is an outcome of the wrong and injustice done to the protagonist of the play. The theme of revenge is introduced by the spirit or supernatural creature in the play which leads the play further. “So art thou to revenge” this line shows the introduction of revenge in the play.
These themes have been introduced in the Elizabethan tragedies from the Senecan form of tragedies. In the play “Hamlet,” the protagonist is Hamlet whose father has been killed by his own uncle. He learns this fact from the spirit of his father who asks him to take revenge from his uncle. The spirit introduces himself as “Ghost I am thy father's spirit” to Hamlet.
The language of the play “Hamlet” contains figurative languages with long monologues and soliloquies with descriptive discussions. “A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark” this line shows the presence of figurative language in the excerpt.
The correct way of matching each statement with the appropriate tone is the following:
* Angry tone: the adjective “annoying” implies the angry tone of the speaker. (A cell phone can be annoying when you forget to turn on the silent feature before going to sleep)
* Accepting tone: the speaker acknowledges the problem with the battery, yet she/he accepts it by carrying a charger as a solution to it. (The problem is that the battery doesn’t last long, but I don’t mind carrying a charger)
* Objective tone: the speaker is objective by stating only facts about the device. (The cell phone makes calling convenient from all possible locations)
* Sentimental tone: the verb “cherish”, and the noun “gift” imply the sentimental tone of the speaker. (I will always cherish my first cell phone because it was a gift from my dad)
* Optimistic tone: the speaker has an optimistic tone, as she/he speaks about a possible future development. (I think we can soon expect a technology that charges phones in seconds)
