Answer:

When Edward says that sinners are “hang by a slender thread" he means that every sinner will have to pay for his sinful act and no one can be saved from the God's fury.

Explanation:

‘Hang by a slender thread’ is a line from the sermon ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’ which is authored by Jonathan Edwards. The sermon focuses on the Great Awakening and it depicts that there is indeed a place like hell.

When Edward said ‘hang by a slender thread’ he meant that sinners are being held by thread over hell and the fury of God will cause them to fall. He states that there’s nothing that can protect sinners from the anger of God.

How does Caesar exemplify the "Model Roman Citizen" in this play?
koban [17]

Answer:

There were a lot of things he did to turn the Republic into a dictatorship, but the main one was after a war. Consuls in the Roman Republic are given a bunch of troops in times of war who pledge loyalty to them, and are expected to give them back after the war is over so they don't try taking over the government. Caesar and Pompey were consuls, and after a war, Pompey handed over his troops, but Caesar refused and killed Pompey. For the next few years, he worked to take apart the Republic and was ultimately assassinated (too late) because senators feared he had too much power. Unfortunately for them, his step-son Augustus took over and became the first emperor of Rome, officially killing the Republic once and for all.
