CASSIUS: Messala, This is my birthday . . . . Now I change my mind, And partly credit things that do presage. . . . Two mighty e

agles fell . . . . And in their steads do ravens, crows, and kites Fly o’er our heads and downward look on us, As we are sickly prey. Their shadows seem A canopy most fatal under which Our army lies, ready to give up the ghost. How does Cassius’ use of figurative language in the bolded lines foreshadow the possible fate of his and Brutus’ army?

Answer: Cassius' use of figurative language foreshadows the possible fate of his and Brutus' army because these images are foretelling the defeat of both armies. They will be the pray for the animals that are now overflowing them.

Explanation:  In "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare Cassius interprets the sign of ravens circling overhead the day of the battle as a bad omen for the battle's outcome. He thinks the raven and crows are looking at them as "sickly prays".

By using figurative language, Shakespeare creates a visual image of Octavius’ army overtaking them like inescapable death. Cassius’ words foreshadow later events in act 5.

Read the excerpt from the novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho, below, which has a theme to
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

In this excerpt from the novel "The Mysteries of Udolfo" written by Ann Radcliffe, we see how the author develops the theme of fear. She is doing that mostly through the atmosphere - the surroundings around the protagonist are scary and dark; there are tall trees and woods that instill fear in her. She specifically says in the excerpt that these surroundings "awakened terrific images in her mind," meaning that she was scared of what might happen.

Other images include "the deep tone of the portal bell," which even increases her fear and anxiety about the whole situation. The building itself is quite scary, looking ancient and dreary which only makes her feel even more frightened.

The examples above are directly stated in the text to show her fear but the atmosphere itself makes even the reader feel uncomfortable with its unsettling nature. It is both directly stated and implied based on the atmosphere that the protagonist is quite frightened.
