Question

Based on the characteristics of the Tragic Hero archetype, what recognition does Caesar’s downfall reveal? A) Rome enjoys great success and peace.
B) Brutus becomes the rightful king of Rome.
C) Cassius becomes the king of Rome.
D) Rome turns to rebellion and tyranny after his death.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The archetype of a tragic hero depicts his flaws that cause him to fall. It is applicable to Brutus. His belief in a utopical Rome free from the tyranny of an ambitious ruler collapses after his memmorable speech in the Capitol where he speaks to his country men. A serious mistake was to let Antony speak in the capitol. Antony puts Brutus's honor and nobility to the test of the Romans and persuades them to "move / The stones of Rome to mutiny" which they accept. Rebellion and tyranny are significant themes in "Julius Caesar". Octavius is called by Antony "Caesar" and he becomes another Caesar but less human than Julius Caesar. Tyranny befalls Rome again in another ruler. It is possible to say that the rebellion of the Romans brought a new tyrant.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) Rome turns to rebellion and tyranny after his death.

Explanation:

The general population proclaim that they will revolt. Antony calls to them to give him a chance to complete: he has not yet perused the will. He currently peruses that Caesar has passed on an entirety of cash from his own possessions to each man in Rome. The residents are struck by this demonstration of liberality and vow to retaliate for this magnanimous man's demise.

Antony keeps perusing, uncovering Caesar's arrangements to make his private stops and gardens accessible for the general population's pleasure. The plebeians can take no more; they charge off to unleash ruin all through the city. Antony, alone, ponders what will happen to the underhandedness he has set free on Rome. Octavius' hireling enters. He reports that Octavius has touched base at Caesar's home, and furthermore that Brutus and Cassius have been driven from Rome.
